The temperance people of this State
expect to have a state ticket in the
field this fall, and hope in this way;
to reach the legislature with sufficient
power to submit a constitutional
amendment to our state constitution,
for the prohibition of the manu-
facture and sale Of Intoxicating
liquors, to the people of Wisconsin
for their adoption or rejection. In
the state of Maine and Kansas this
amendment has been adopted and is
resulting in great good to the states:
IF the states of Maine and Kansas are
richer and better, on account of this
amendment why we think it would
be good thing for Wisconsin. The
Grand Lodge, of the l.. o. G. T. of
this state was in session last week;
and appointed the necessary commit
tees to do all in their power to help
make up state ticket, that would be
credit to the temperance people of
Wisconsin, and a majority of the rep
resentatives pledge their influence and
hearty support to such q ticket this
fall. We expect then this state will
have four state tickets in tho field
the result of which will be known
sometime in November NEXT.
