Blaine county Republicans declared un-
~equivocally in favor Of committing the
Republican party to prohibition. The
resolutions also called for the nomina-
ton of candidates entirely free from
any connection or sympathy with the
liquor traffic.
Col. j. Il. Long, of Illinois, one of
the ablest national speakers, is now in
the Nebraska Amendment field under
the auspices ofthe Right Worthy Grand
Lodge of Good Templars. He should
be heard in every county in this State.
Calls for his work should be sent to Chas.
Watts, Grand Secretary, 1920 Caldwell
street, Omaha.
Col. r. b. Demaree, the popular Ken
lucky orator and Grand Chief Templar,
has been conducting an Amendment
tent camp meeting in Omaha for two
weeks. Several converts have been
made. Lou j. Beauchamp and Col.
Long have been with Mr.. Demaree and
solid shot has been steadily poured into
the ranks Of the enemy. Demaree's
tent combination will hereafter be &C
companled by Col. John Sobieskl, the
peerless Polish prince. These men are
frst-classin everyrespect and will spend
August in this State before leaving for
other Jurisdictions.
Places needing tent revivals should
correspond with Chas. Watts at the
above address and call tor the Demaree
team.
The mails are being flooded nowadays
with a pamphlet full of whiskey lies
and the basest ISLANDERS on Iowa and
Kansas. The pamphlet Is called "Pros-
perity and How to Obtain It," Accord
ing to the business philosophy advanced
in this liquor document, prepared in
Kansas by representatives of the Mis-
souri, breweries and law-defying rebels,
the only way to insure commercial pros
perity in to debauch and drunkardize
the masses. This vile emanation is
being circulated among Nebraska voters
by the Estate Bankers and Business
Mems Association, an organization that
has already become a stencil in the nos
trils of decent tradesmen and merchants.
Ex-Chief Justice o. P. Mason, has
recently expressed himself as being very
hopeful that the Prohibitory Amend
ment will carry. The judge gives an
excellent plan Of campaign. He adj
vises all friends of the Amendment to
make sure that every school district is
visited by county workers and frequent
meetings held. Make September and
October revival months and leave no
neighborhood without revival. Rouse
the people to a shouting point just the
day before election and 60 into the bat
tie on the morning of November 4, de-
termined that the shout of victory at
the close of the day shall echo around
the world. Begin at once collecting the
names and addresses Of reliable and act
i've workers in every voting precinct.
These names will be worth ten times
their weight In gold the l%astthree weeks
of the anvas
TALKING TAXATION.
Among all the glazing falsehoods
put out and kept in circulation by the
heightened saloon prevaricators, moth
ing is more ~wickedly mean than their
hypocritical whine about how prohibl-
ton increases taxes. This Bureau now
proposes to give the actual facts in the
case, comparing these three states, close
and familiar, and very similar in their
methods of government so far as ordi-
nary affairs are concerned.
THREE STATES COMPARED.

State purposes in Nebraska, Kansas
and Iowa for ten years QSS0 to 1889
