When our enemies pay SO freely to

ready to fight them.
This year our Prohihitionists paid

We ask now for pledges Of 81, 900 per
month or total Of SIS 600 next year to
wage a straight out Party organizing
campaign. Not penny Of 1t shall be
spent in nOn-partisan effort. not dollar
that shall not tell for the building up of
the National Prohibition Party in all the
States of the Union.

send yours without delay.

hill side OF life with nothing but my
hands To keep me from lover the bills
to the poor house" When sent to the

shall continue to sin In that direction
whenever l possibly can, for my heart
Ia in the Prohibition cause. Here Is a
