Headquarters.

Headquarters.
To Minnesota Prohibitionists, Greet
ing: The campaign of 1900 is upon
us. The State Executive Committee
has fixed the date of the State Conven-
tion on March 20 and 21. The move
ment of any reform requires ever in
creasing effort to keep pace with the
ever intensifying conflict. This alone
would call for greater activity. But
the events of the past year increase
the urgency of putting forth our best
efforts for the crystalization of the
newly awakened sentiment.
The anihilation of this national en-
emy, which spits upon the flag and
defies every law made to curtail it's
fiendish cupidity, and which menaces
life, liberty, and national perpetuity
as no foreign or domestic foe of all
history has done, demands deeper and
nobler patriotism and more heroic
fortitude than ever called a soldier to
field of battle to lay down his life for
his country. home or honor.
The campaign will need not less
than $4,000. We call upon the friends
of this holy war, with confidence, to
supply this amount, and we suggest
the plan of monthly payments. Let
every Prohibitionist in the state at
once send his pledge to the Secretary
at 322 -Hennepin avenue, Minneapolis.
This is fight for home and humanity.
Concentrate your efforts for the con-
fict.
