The Dispatch thinks its opponent
shortsighted We will see what we
shall see, ssHim that laughs last
laughs best" = And for lack of more
forclble argument it resorts to foul
names, all sorts of vile epithets not
worthy OF repetition, much less re-
turning. Our cause has no lack of
material for strong argument in favor
of the right cause, for we are sailing
under the banner of Jesus and work
ing for the uplifting of humanity.
And we believe that He will send an
gels before us and we will be led on
to glorious victory. A very large
number of our citizens adhered to the
republican party believing that that
party could do more for our cause
than any other, but as the republi-
cans have shown their inability to do
what was expected of them, many
have become awakened and will meet
us on common grounds for the over
throw of this gigantic evil as well as
the uplifting of all the reforms de-
manded by our platform. And we
believe that we shall soon SEQ that
the hindrance to our cause is a di-
vIded party and not in the principles
of the prohibition party IF all the
better elements of the different par
ties could be united in one army and
move in one solid phalanx against the
common enemy, there would be the
grandest victory of the century. You
admit that our party caused your de-
feat (that prohibition would still have
been prohibition If we had voted with
you). That is acknowledging q good
deal. That proves we are gaming
ground and our power is beng felt,
and to us who are prohibitionists at
the sacrifice of the old party ties, the
light Is dawning and we behold the
prohibition luminary mounting the
political sky and expect soon to see it
in ali its glory, shedding light over
all this rum cursed world and rum
darkened nation. And we believe
there are host of true prohibition
lists in the republican and all other
parties, who we hope TO see mount
the prohibition ladder in the near fu-
ture. We are willing to meet this ell
ement and organize under what ever
name is thought best for the consum-
nation of our glorious cause We
hope to see women, God bless them,
be allowed to take a stand beside
their fathers, husbands and brothers,
INSTEAD Of being classed with CON
victs and idIots) and be allowed to
help make laws to protect their homes
from the invasion of this terrible foe
Husbands, sons and daughters are
equally opposed to this terrible evel
Moderate drinkers come into oul
homes and take away our daughters
and they are plunged into degreda
ton and misery and their children
are made to suffer from the effects Of
this common evil abroad in our land
} What an overwhelming power they
would be if allowed the right of fran.
chise. May God speed the day when
these wrongs will be righted, Brother
/ Nc dubs us as being hypocrlte. He
claims to be on the side of temper
ance. Where were you, which side
did you work on at our last municipal
election. Not on the side of temper
ance. We feel like saying ''Oh thou,
: but will refrain; actions speak louder
) than words. And when the last day
shall come we will be called upon tc
, give an account for the deeds done il
the body. Yours,
