believe will develop into one OF the
strongest men in the field.
E. l.. Bost is organizing LIE Sueur
county. He went into the town of LIE
Sueur and had the whole populace
talking two hours from the time he
set foot on it's streets by rapidly and
comprehensively covering the town
with Prohibition posters and tackers.
S. S. Auss is out in st. Paul and
Ramsey county and Hennep1n county
has four paid men who are stirring
things from center to circumference.
J. D. Engle has been devoting his en-
tire time to the work of the committee
for many months and has the best
organization that has ever been known
in the county. Harold B. Croz1er, GER
tainly one of the most astute and tire
less of the younger generation OF pol
iticans, Donald Babcock, whose ability
to get results was amply tested in a
short campaign last summer, J. l..
Stromme, who has just entered the
work but is showing capability, are
his able lieutenants.
J. R. Julian, who is one of the most
thoroughly equipped men in the mat
ter of general information on the sa-
lon problem and other governmental
questions, has charge of Wright coun-
ty and will put it into the column OF
hopeful territory if faithful and eff
cient labor can accomplish that re-
suit.
G.. Warren Beard is organizing
Wadena, beginning with the county
seat. While he has been on the ter
ritory but short time, indications al
ready point to lasting and hopeful re-
suits.
w. G.. Balcom, who is high-school
principal but who is devoting his vaca-
ton to Prohibition organization work
in Hubbard county, adds to his devo-
ton a splendidly equipped mind and
a life full of vigor and enthusiasm, a
combination which must produce re-
suits in that territory.
In Lake, Cook and st. Louis coun-
ties, up in the northeastern horn of the
state, D. G. LeFevre, another high
school principal, has been in the field
since June and has produced results
beyond the hopes of the most sangu-
ine He has entered territory that
had never before been touched by a
Prohibition organizer and where no
speaker had ever gone to represent
the work of this committee. Still he
raised 1855 45 the first month, beside
an amount of organizing that lack of
space does not allow us to enumerate.
The 9th congressional district is in

charge of w. A. Rice, young at
torney of platform and executive abil-
ity. He has set his stakes to nominate
legislators to cover the entire 9th con-
gressional district. This will mean
total of at least eight men and it might
be 10. Among his lieutenants are 0.
Ronning of Otter Tail county, A. T.
Ehlert who will act as general field
lieutenant, and a number of other men
whose work is directly under Mr.. Rice
whose names are unknown at head
quarters.
No adequate attempt can be made
to cover the more general field force.
C. w. Dorsett, Prohibition nominee
for governor, is holding a number of
re-campaign rallies before the formal
opening of the gubernatorial campaign
which will be on Tuesday Sept. IL.
AS previously announced, Mr.. j. H.
Woertendyke is now with us and will
remain until after election. The same
is true of Mr.. w. J. Arnold. We con-
slider ourselves more than ordinarily
fortunate that during the month of
August we are to have w. A. Brubaker
of Chicago, whose long experience and
enviable record assure series OF eff
fective meetings and some vigorous
organizing. Virgil G. Hinshaw, the
field secretary, is without peer as
man of resource and capacity. Harley
H. Gill, field superintendent, has
proven his ability in two years of hard
campaigning. Geo. Reid, with his big
tent, is covering territory part of
which has been considered almost des-
ert so far as prohibition work is con-
cerned. He laughs at untoward
weather conditions and is making
votes and friends for the cause. The
names of local speakers who have
volunteered their services for from
one to ten meetings during the
course of the campaign are too numer-
GUS even to mention.
This is an array of field talent and
field effort that has not been ap-
preached in the past Prohibition cam
paigns in this state or, we believe, in
any other state. The chief virtue of
it is that, while there is much speak
ing, we are relying largely upon hand
to-hand work and organization of the
local friends of the cause so that we
may have literally thousands of peo-
pile at work throughout the state. ARE

outside Of Ordway that will have to
get water here, making a total of at
least IT'S families to be supplied. This
makes the cost per fSmily Sls.S5 per
year, or Sl.57 per month.
This is the estimate with our pres
ent population, but Ordway has near
ly doubled it's population in the past
year, and it is reasonable to suppose
a large per cent of increase would OBJ
tain, specially if we get good water
in the next few months.
No sinking fund need be provided
for for a number of years, and hence
taxes for water scarcely need ever be
increased.
Who are eligible to vote at the spe-
cial election? ? All persons qualified
to vote at any other election who are
tax payers in Ordway. Let us vote
good and strong for the good water.
