work of the State Prohibition Commit.

This is fine start for the Campaign
Fund of 1903. But it is only a start
The Fund should go to not less than
$4,000. Every Prohibitionist in the
state should delight to send in his
pledge at once, without requiring the
Committee to spend any of his or it's
money for solicitors, railroad fare, no.

cure it. You have year in which to

UNITED TO DEFEAT US.

Bisbee, the Prohibition candidate to
succeed the late Sheriff Pearson of
Portland, Me-, was defeated by col
fusion Of whisky Republicans and
whisky Democrats. During most of
the campaign the Republican candi-
date would not declare his position on
the question of law enforcement.
When, at late date, he promised to
enforce the law, if elected, the liquor
men went to the Democratic candidate
and elected him. Prohibitionists may
depend upon it that whenever there is
a probability that their ticket will be
successful, union of the LIQUOR ele-
ments of the other parties will be
quickly effected. This has occurred
in Minnesota, as elsewhere. It will
continue to occur until the growing
strength Of the Prohibition party shall
compel the complete and permanent
union of the liquor ends of the other
parties in order to perpetuate the life
OF the saloon. That union will be the
beginning of the end Of the saloon.
