TO H PEOPLE.
Final Appeal OF the Prohibition
State Central Committee.

CITIZENS OF EBRAsKA These few las
words of warning and encouragement are ad
dressed to every patriotic home builder ant
bread winner in our beloved state. The Amend
ment campaign eliminates i'm the final battl.
on the 4th day of November. That one day
will practically settle for years, so far as on
state is concerned, whether the drink traffit
shall be outlawed, or whether 1t shall he giver
the sanction of our citizens. who have witness
ed its awful career of crime in state and ma
ton.
BRIEFLY REVIEWED.
The agents of the brewers, distiliers and sal
oon-keepers have conducted a campaign re
plete with audacious falsehood and malignant
SANDER. Such d~isreputable methods to deceive
the people were never before employed in the
b istory of Nebraska.
Claiming to represent the business interests
and moral welfare of the state. the desperate
tools of the consolidated liquor power have
boycotted. bulldozed and corrupted every man
weak enough to be inflnenced by their bravado
or deluded by their lying sophistry.
ONE GREAT A
Let this one great fact be made plain to every
citizen of Nebraska. The National Liquor
League, the wealthy brewers of Milwaukee.
the millionaire distillers of Peoria and every
whiskey corporation in Nebraska with every
saloon-keeper and that saloons etinu of
thieves, thugs and moral lepers. all these are
united in a struggle for life. with those repre-
senting the higher intelligence. the nobler
manhood, the social. moral and political well
fare of our grander civilization.
HOW TO DEFEAT THESE 4 OF OUR tat
Organize an Amendment Committee in every
voting precinct. Pledge from five to fifty
workers to give the entire day, November4th,
to this all important work. Abandon the work
of your farms, offices, stores and shops for this
one day. in the interests of the homes of Neb-
raska.
See that plenty of tickets are sent to every
precinct in good time for use. and keep close
watch for fraudulent and defective ballots
which will be circulated by the enemy.
Spot every hired poll worker of the saloon
side and detail shrewd men to head Off their
tricks and break down their influence. Be on
your guard against all manner of fraud, de-
and illegal voting and
STAY TO WITNESS THE COUNT.
The law provides that the canvass of ballots
shall be public. Have at least two witnesses

REMEMBER THIS.
Do not get tired on the afternoon of election |
day. Fight every inch. every hour, every
minute till the last vote is cast. 1t requires a
majority of all votes cast to carry the Amend
That majority is in sight; but negli-
gence or over-confidence will bring defeat. 1t
was Napoleon's maxim never to despise or
underestimate the strength of the enemy.

same as though cast against the Amendment.
