Dear Senator Bilbo:
I am writing to ask that you use your influence in support of Senate Bill 517, the Bill to prohibit liquor advertise-ment over the radio. I am sure you know the power of suggestion in advertisements even better than I. As we see it it is altogether bad for the young people of our country to hear these liquor advertisements from time to time.
Thanking you for using your great influence in this matter, and with all best wishes for a happy, successful New Year,
I am
Cordially your friend,
J. S. Vandiver
