M oSt encouraging Reports
from Several States.
G. f. Cronk, Chairman of Wis.
consin's Prohibition State Com
mittee, writes:
Wisconsin was never SO
thoroughly organized as to-day,
and never was the campaign being
pushed with more prospect of a
largely increased vote than this.
Our candidate for Governor, Mr..
Il. G. Richmond, is making most
aggressive campaign. He has
thus early in the campaign touched
nearly all the important centers of
the State, and his meetings have
been large and enthusiastic. We
are endeaving this year to combine
the advantages of a literature and
speaking campaign. The State
Central Committee are distributing
$3.50 worth of campaign literature
every month. Besides Mr.. Rich
mond we have two of our cand1-
e. les for Congress, G. S. Martin,
{. Madison, and 0. B. Olson, of
Eau Claire, constantly in the field.
John G.. Martin, of Mineral Point,
candidate for State Treasurer, is
also spending his whole time in a
canvass in the interest of his can
didacy. Volney B. Gushing, of
Maine, speaks in our State from
October 3rd to the 10Th, inclusive.
George G. Christian, of Arkansas,
has been speaking in various parts
OF the State during the whole of
the month of September. Mrs.
Lathrap has made a number of
speeches in important places. Be
sides these, local talent has con-
tributed two or three hundred
speeches, which will be called for
near the close of the campaign"
John Hipp, Chairman of the
Prohibition State Committee of
Colorado, writes:
"Our State is organized in most
of the counties. We are conduct
ing a personal campaign; each
man doing the work in his own
district, and endeavoring to in
crease the vote in his own county.
The indications for an increased
Prohibition vote are fair. The
Peoples Party is cutting into our
vote very heavily on account of
the free silver plank in their
platform. We have number of
speakers at work in the State in
their own localities, and shall have
no outside workers except some of
the w. G. T. U, lecturers. Miss
Harriet Moore has been here; Clara
Hoffman will speak some thirty
times previous to the w. c. I. u.
Convention, and there will be a
number of others here previous to
that time.
A. G. Sheahan, Secretary of the
Prohibition State Committee of
California, writes:
1--WE have 81 Counties in this
State. We have representatives
on our State Committees from all
OF them but one. Thirty-nine
have county organizations, and
thirty-eight have or will have
tickets in the field.
Our plan of campaign is:
(A)-By County organizers
supplied to County committees on
easy terms. BY the close of the
campaign nearly every organized
County in the State will have been
canvassed by one of these organ
izers.
tB) = BY campaign speakers
vi, ing the more important points
aia speaking on the issues of the
day.
gC)-By local County campaign
&c. ), who volunteer to doschool-
h Sc and village speaking. Sew
el Counties are now carrying on
81 NOIk Oll q idl 10 5CeiiC.
by distribution of cam
pi il literature, of which a large
amount has been used.
We now have in the lecture field
Lou J. Beauchamp, r. Foster
Stone, @. r. Dougherty, J. s.

Glass State Chairman. Besides
t:~se we have had l.. b, Scranton,

speakers all report indications
Of ii increased vote.
iere is unusual apathy in POI
hiss matters in all parties this
year. The Prohibitionists are the
nanst active in the State, and it is
acknowledged by all parties that
we have the best orators on the
platform Ii this camnairn.
