LEGISLATIVE FIGHTS.
Past and Future,

TdSG d0Q = uIuTSs
To the Prohibitionists of Minnesota:
The lessons of the past campaign
are too apparent to need any interpre-
ter. The vote in the Legislative Dis
tricts where active campaigns were
prosecuted showed an increase of a
thousand per cent. The legislative
votes, including those districts where
no vigorous campaign was conducted,
show results which, had they been ex
tended over the entire state, would
have shown an aggregate vote of $4,000.
To draw lessons from other fields, the
total vote of Illinois was 34,770, but
the total legislative vote, which did
not embrace the entire state as did the
general vote, aggregated over 100000.
Again, as you all know, we lacked but
81 votes of the election of one of our
men and but SO of another, both of
which are unprecedented in the entire
record of the party in this state.
This points Enthusiastically to the fact
that as party the long, tedious agita-
ton is over and the day for active
political campaigning is upon us. The
world now agrees with us that the sa-
loon is bad, and only bad, and that it's
any kind or nature. If we waste more
time teaching what we have already
taught, we do but proclaim our inca
pacity for the accomplishment of our
undertaking.
At present the capture of presi-
dency or governorship seems remote.
To take treasurership or an auditor
ship or any other merely clerical or
administrative Office has no immediate
value to us. Hence, let us center the
charge upon the attainable and the
useful, and that is the legislature.
Our "Out-to-Win" campaigns this year
were marvels of success. Two years
hence, with no presidential campaign,
we ought to be able to seat few men,
but we will seat nobody. we will win
no victories, we will show no laurels
for our warfare, and will promise no
deliverance from the evils we oppose
UNLESS we get down to the pick and
shovel humdrum of politics-clean,
honest, but practical That means
that the individual Prohibitionist in
his own precinct, or his own SUBJ
district of his precinct, is to begin def
mite, intelligent, tireless and persist
0nI eHOrCS TO take MS nalI-acre LOT
law-maker who stands for the destruc-
ton of this acknowledged social, moral
and political devilfish-the saloon.
The Central Committee desires to

who are ready to enter upon and pros
ecute that kind of political cam
paign. Write today.
Most sincerely, yours for Humanity,
