WOMEN TO FIGHT WHISKY.
Prohibitionists in Macon, Ga, Will
Place Them at the Polls.

Macon, Ca. Dec. 1.-Prohibitionists
of Macon told Mayor Price yesterday
that they have determined to station
some of the most prominent women in
the city at the polls at the approaching
prohibition contest, and that they rely
on them to exert a large influence with
those who are half way committed to
the whisky men, but who might be re-
deemed if the proper pressure was
brought to bear on them.
Mayor Price said that he did not ap-
prove of this plan, and hoped it would
not be utilized. The prohibitionists an
swered that they intended to avail
themselves of every means to drive
whisky out and that the women would
surely be at the polls The anti-prohi-
bitionists denounce the scheme as in
limitation.
