A Quaker Evangelist, Miss George Nye, from Madison, Wisconsin speaks out for the Prohibitionist Party against American society’s permissiveness towards alcohol in a fiery tone. “The Prohibition Party has always fed the goat on pure green grass and cold water. And now my slogan is, ‘Fire, fire, fire, I smell smoke. Get on the water wagon, hitch the hoes to the goat!’” she ends her theatrical statement. She is probably speaking outside the 1932 Prohibition Party Convention, Indianapolis, July 6, 1932
