The State Alliance Opens its Campaign
and Suggests Plans of Procedure.
A meeting Of the Central Executive Com
mittee of the State Temperance Alliance was
held yesterday In Asbury NJ. L. Church,
President Matlack presiding. The commit
tee to secure location for mass meeting
made its report, and it was finally decided
to hold the gathering in Camden on Tues
day, August /. As means of reaching the
voters Of the State it was decided to furnish
each paper in the Commonwealth copy Of
the address issued by the Alliance, and also
to send one TO every clergyman in the State
with request that he read it from his pulpit
The proposed appeal to voters was taken up
and read. Its main provision is to make a
personal canvass of the State prior to the
primary meeting and get as many voters as
possible to pledge themselves TO vote for
only the men for Legislators who will carry
out the desires of the majority of their con-
stituents. An amendment was made by
Mr.. Quigg to incorporate blank pledge to
the appeal in which the voter over his own
signature promises to vote for such candi-
dates, provided 1000 names are secured.
After thorough discussion on the adyis-
ability of the admission of the blank
addenda in the form suggested, committee
consisting of DIR. Caldwell and Messrs. Quigg
and GawthrOp was appointed to formulate a
blank. The committee reported in a short
time and the blank proposed was accepted.
1t was ordered TO have 800 books containing
the appeal and form purchased. To carry
on the campaign ii was decided to raise
fund Of 81 900, divided as follows: New
Castle, $3.50; Kent, $500; Sussex, $3.50.
The members Of the committee will wait
upon the Delaware editors and ask the in
huence of their columns for the cause.
