FIGHTING THE RUM EVIL
Organization of a Young Peoples
Christian Temperance Union.
LADIES ARE INTERESTED
1t Is Proposed to Get About 100000
Votes Pledged to the Prohibition
Party in the Next Presi-
dental Campaign.

Miss Eva Marshall of Chicago a
perance, who is touring the North
western states. will be in Butte next
week and will address the citizens.
young Francis Willard as she is
called, has won the proud distinction
of being one of the ablest female eX-
ponents of Christian temperance in
the country. She is travelling for the
purpose of organizing a national
young peoples Christian temperance
union. The work is along practically
the same lines as the w. c. 7. L.. yet
the organization is especially designed
for young people. 1t is the plan of
the local Young Peoples union, re-
Gently formed. to organize a Y. P. c.
IT. L. here, when the young people
will begin an active crusade against
intemperance and saloons.
Miss Shontz will hold meetings in
Spokane, and in speaking of her work
in general the Chronicle says:
Miss Shontz is working for other in
terests in connection with the organi
cation of the Y. P. C. T. L. She is
strongly in favor of redeeming the w.
c. T. L. temple in Chicago, and from
the success which has crowned her
efforts there is reason to believe that
this purpose may be attained.
, But Miss Shontz is also interested
in politics. not as pronounced wo-
man suffragist, but as an advocate of
prohibition principles. And from the
reports that come from the cities
where she has spoken. the lady is an
eloquent speaker and able to move an
audience to enthusiasm with her elo-
quent words.
She is determined to get a million
votes pledged to the prohibition party
before the next presidential campaign
opens. This plan was tried three
years ago, but it did not work sue
cessfully. Now Miss Shontz proposes
ITO see that it is accomplished The
plan is followed after the following
manner: Voters are asked to pledge
their ballots to the prohibition party,
on condition that 100000 pledges are
ed the voters are not required to
keep the pledge which was made. The
prohibition party tried the same scheme
before the last presidential election.
hut could not secure the required mil
lion. Miss ShontZ is giving special at
tention to the million vote department
on her present trip, and bids fair to
get that number of pledges.
But it is for the temperance work
among the young people that the not
ed temperance leader is eXerting her
best efforts. She proposes to form an
organization of the young men and Wo-
men of all denominations to fight
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-06-22

against the saloons. The plan has been
under way only two years, but it al
ready has IL divisions, and includes
in its membership hundreds of youns
people consecrated to the work of MAX
ing sobriety and purity triumph over
drunkenness and pollution.
The character of this young worker
is of interest. She is western girl
and she possesses the characteristic
western energy. Her childhood home
was in Iowa. She completed a high
school course. and then took CLASH
cal course at an Illinois college. Her
oratorical ability was recognized at
college. Three times she was chosen
to represent her class in competitions.
and each time she won. After COM
pleting her regular college course she
spent two years a. the National Col
lege of Oratory and then went on the
platform.
Miss Shontz is said to exercise
wonderful power over her hearers.
Like a wind storm assailing sap
ling, the gifted young orator sWayed
her audience" and other favorable
criticisms have come from the press in
those cities where she has spoken; and
some say that she held her audience
spell bound. making them Weep. smile
and applaud at will"
