MESSENGERS FOR POINTS
JUDGE WHITE ROUGHLY HANDLED
TONS OF LITERATURE TO BE GIVEN OUT.

An important fact was developed at the
meeting of the Allegheny Brewers Associs-
tion yesterday. 1t was that emissaries Of
the association from Pittsburg and other
parts of the State are now in Massachusetts,
gathering pointers and conducting the cam
paign of the prohibitory election to take
place in that State Monday next. This in
formation was obtained from Mr.. E. j.
Frauenheim, of the firm of Frauenheim &
Vilsack, who said:
'In regard to what we are doing about
the amendment, you can set this down, that
the brewers Of this county are not asleep.
We have ten men at work in the Office of
the association arranging literature for
mailing to the voters of Allegheny county.
We have compiled registry lists of ali the
voters in the different wards, townships and
boroughs, and each one will get his stock of
reading matter. The prohibition issue has
not been placed before the people as it
should be, and after they peruse what We
will put in their hands, they will think
twice before casting their ballots. When
the time comes we will send it out
SENT TO MASSACHUSETTS.
"we have now centered our eyes on Mass
schusetts, where the prohibitOry amend
ment will be showed under next Monday.
The men who will handle our campaign
are now in the Bay State working hard.
After the election there they will come TO
Pennsylvania and we will then go to work
in earnest. Between the 18th of May and
p - IL, H.,
pie who are trying to destroy our business
that we will protect our interests as long as
we have a dollar to fight The battle
will be quick and decisive. We will
meet again next Thursday, when we will
lay our plans for hard work in the country.
We have all the money necessary. This
was the hardest part of the job-to get
money to fight the battle. The State Com
mittee, of which Mr.. Theodore Straub, of
Allegheny, is President, will take care OF
everything outside the counties of Allie
gheny ana Philadelphia.
WAITING TO SEE.
The meeting was held in their new hall,
No. 80 Fourth avenue, and was largely at
tended, nearly every member of the asso-
citation in the two cities being present. The
President, William Eberhart, occupied the
chair, and John Walter, of the same firm,
Eberhart & Ober, was the Secretary. The
Secretary Of the Campaign Committee, Mr..
A. G. Kimmick. was also present, and
made an address about the progress of the
work throughout the county.
Reports from different committees were
read and opinions exchanged as to the out
look for the prohibition election day. A
running commentary on the treatment in
the License Court of the brewers who ap-
piled for license, was also made. The elec-
tion in Massachusetts, next Monday was also
talked of in general -ay. The majority
of the members present said they would not
do much until they saw how matters went
in that State.
At the meeting the members of the asso-
citation handled Judge White without
gloves for his recent utterances in the
License Court in regard to the beer made in
this city being adulterated. They denied
that such was the case, and some of them
were not slow in saying that His Honor was
speaking of something whereof he knew
nothing.
PLAINLY STATED RESOLUTION.
At the conclusion of the meeting they
adopted the following resolution:
Resolved, That, with all due respect and con
sideration for anyone differing with us, we
feel constrained to say to the public at large
but especially to the thousands of invalids that
derive health and strength from the use of oul
beer, and whose opinion already bears us out
when we say and hereby assent that the beeI
we brew is pure and wholesome, and not adulter
ated in any way whatever; The large and, from
year to year, increasing demand for the pro
duct of our breweries in the two cities, is in it
self the best evidence of the quality and char
ter of the beer we brew, and we hereby chal
cheerfully abide by the finding of any chemist
of standing, as to purity and wholesomenees.
