"1n Good Old Summer Time"
A HOT CAMPAIGN FOR BRAVER
CITIZENSHIP,
Field Days. Picnics and As.
semblies the Order of the Day.

The summer months will be among
the most active Of the year in the agi-
tatiOn of prohibition throughout the
North Star State With the 18th Of
June the special features of the sea-
son begin. On that date the Leedy
Trio will begin a months itinerary,
covering the western portion of the
state. Throughout the third, sixth,
seventh and ninth congressional dis
tricts Mr.. Leedy is so we'll and favor
ably known as to need no introduce
ton, and he brings with him musical
talent that will delight any audience
that does itself the pleasure to hear
them.
On the 21st our peerless National
Chairman, Oliver w. Stewart, will be-
gin twelve days itinerary, during
which he will deliver one or more
speeches daily. His name assures
mammoth audience at any point in
this state. And to hear him is to feel
the imperative import of the liquor
problem, and the righteousness of the
position of the Prohibition party.
Mrs. Carrie A. Nation, of Kansas, is
to speak six times in this state during
June. She wins converts wherever
she is heard. The mind of the hearer
is promptly disabused of the newspa-
per view of this heroic and mOtherly
woman.
Hutchinson is planning a big day,
with Stanley B. Roberts of Mime
apolis, the peer of the best of them,
the Leedy Trio and other attractions.
Vernon Center is arranging big tenn
perance field day, at which the philos-
ophy of prohibition with party that
believes in it will be given a share of
the time.
And all this in addition to the regu-
lar work of our regular men. Alfred
Gabrielsen, who is working in the
northwestern part of the state, D. D.
Mitchell, who is carrying on an active
campaign in the southeastern part, N.
J. Johnson, in the west central part,
are all pushing the battle with cease
less vigor. J. l.. Sherman, the chalk
talker, takes the field actively for
campaign to terminate only when the
traffic is buried. Editor Wells is "off
duty SO as to spend the more time in
the field. B. B. Haugan is neglecting
his business that he may hit few of
his telling blows for a higher type of
citizenship. The state secretary plans
to be in the field portion of his time
Freeman H. Gillette, college man
from Iowa, who is burning with enthu-
siasm for the cause, will cover the
third congressional district.
Whatever the weather may be, the
campaign will be hot.
