The State Fund Steadily Grows.

The State Fund Steadily Grows.
Never in the history of the Prohibi
ton party in Minnesota has so much
money been raised outside of conven-
tions in a given time as during the last
100 days. At this writing the Fund
foots up $2,700.33, and we have yet to
hear the pecuniary results of the work
done by Secretary Calderwood and Mr..
Leedy during the last few days. Per-
haps also this total does not include
anything from you. We do not feel
like urging you to subscribe. We trust
it is not necessary. You think as
much of this cause as we and you have
as much at stake as we. We are con-
fident that Minnesota Prohibitionists
will contribute that $4,000. What
shall Backbone for February say?
Address Sec. Calderwood, at 322 Hen
nepin Ave., Minneapolis. The pledges
received since our last issue are ac-
knowledged below.
