I CHANGE OF POLICY. q

" IN connection with this expression with
reference to the Mann law. the aforesaid
member made an Interesting and impor-S
tant statement 10 the E feet that, with a
change Of superintende nts. there wi i be
more or less of a change of policy In the
league. Heretofore t has been generally
understood that one OF the primary pur-
poses OF the organization is TO secure
Temperance legislati ton. AS soon as d one.
thing was secured such as the Mann
Sbill-it was to push on at once i to get
something more. But der the new su-
perintendent there will be made here o.
change as will be done In certain other
respects. S8 4ss XXI b
The chief purpose Of tbs league here
after will be In generating public senti-H
tment in favor OF temperance. Here and
sthare whore this sen1 ment seems to call
for legislat lion some step will be ia ken.
Also when 81 any temperance movement
Is made in the legislature the lea que will
lend Its corporation But tits not go-5
Ing into the legislatIve halls and be con-
tnually on the watch5for an opportunity
to slip through law. II will not follow
up its present success wi tn an imm ediate
Movement to secure something else-as
has been promulgated as a principle un-a
der which the lea que worries. MI Il i5S
Instead OF this. the league, as In dictated
above, will try the new3law to see how It
works. II 1t doesnt work we'll 1t will be
among the first to advise a change. But
so long as j t works vel the league as a
whole and tho several branch organi-5
cations will watch to see that It is prop
erly enforced. 5 ss ~ 81 5'l5;i r 4;
