SHALL WE MAKE 1T

By the time this reaches our
readers the surprising number Of
10000 Prohibition Amendment
Catechisms will have been printed
and scattered through all parts of
the State, and still the orders are
pouring in as fast as the press,
running day end night, can supply
them.
For time the orders were ahead
of the supply, but We have done the
best we could, and ask friends to
use the more diligence in getting
them promptly circulated. Give
the people the Prohibition facts to
beat back the Saloon lies. Scatter
the Catechisms, and keep scattering
them up to the day of election. We
can now fill all orders promptly.
Every speaker ought to have them
to scatter at meetings. Order a sup
ply at once. Fifteen cents per 100,
