"The Prohibition vote has been doub.
ling and trebling all over the nation" says
the Voice. But little is seen of this in the
dispatches to the political press. Why is
this? Do the old politicians want to keep
information from the people?
The following letter from Ionia, Mich.
would make it look that way
Editor The Yoice-Doubtless many Pro-
hibiuonlsts as we'll as others have wonder
ed why the prohibition vote was not re-
ported except in rare cases, and very inn
perfectly everywhere. The secret is out
One OF our citizens himself not political
Prohbilionisl, but man of integrity, had
dispatch read to him from the Associa
ted Press as it was received at this office,
instrucling the operator TO send in the vote
Tor the Fusion and Republican candidates
but not that for The Prohibition candidates Oh
any other erdnks.
The dispatch also contained positive or
ders not to send in the Prohibition vote.
Several days have elapsed since the elee'
tion but as yet we have not seen the remot,
est reference made to the vote in New Jer.
sey for Gen. Clinton B. Fisk, Prohibition
candidate for Governor in that State.

Texas WnkItg I'm,


The spirit before the battle may be gath
cred from the following:
THE HERoIsM OF THE NEW PARTY,
(From the Gatesvlllo (Tex.) Advance-sun)
There is an inherent heroism in the Pro.
hibition party the country over that pales
not at defeat, trembles not in the presence
of political power and covers not at the
feet OF tyrants. 1t is to this God-given
courage that we must look for success. No
trades with wrong, no backdowns, no po.
litical triCkery, no appeals TO sectionalism
or class prejudice, but an unswerviug,
manly devotion to principle in the face of
defeat-these are the sails in the Prohibi-
ton ship that will bring it safe into the
harbor of victory before the last snn OF the
present century is set. There will be mar
tyrs left upon the field but the Prohibi-
tion leaders, both North and South are OF
the material that martyrs are made Of.
They will stand by the flag if its flowing
fringe should at last be crimsoned with it's
own blood, and il they can better serve
their country-if they can hasten the tri-
umph OF rightly a martyrs death, there
are thousands to whom the red-winged
messenger would be welcome visitor.
Victory will come to party like this,
with leaders like these, as sure as reform
followed the preaching Of Luther. The
cause has had its AlamOs Of defeat; il is
nearing its San Jacinto of victory.
After the election this same editor tele-
graphed to the Voice: Result more en-
couraging than the most ardent Prohibi-
tionisls had hoped. Vote from 10000 to
$4,000"
Don't tell the people.
