VOTE.MAKING IN INDIANA.

They have a very strenuous way
of making Prohibition votes down in
Hoosierdom if the truthful editor of
the Patriot Phalaux in which the fol-
lowing story appeared is willing to
vouch for it's reliability.
Phalanx readers are aware Of the fact
that our candidate for Secretary Of State,
A. L. Grim, has quite reputation as a
yard. It is said that, while at the state
convention, Grim bought a parrot and one
guaranteed to be good talker. He dld
not expect much talking however until
surroundings. A day or two after taking
the bird home, he was working on the
address he expected to use during the
campaign. You can imagine his surprise
when Polly, sang out I'm IN a. De ENG Mrs
Grim he would make that bird say Il am
Prohibitionist," or know the reason
why.
She was as contrary as some presiding
elders; so at last he took the bird by the
throat and said, Say I'm Prohibition.
ist,' or I'll choke you to death!' Not one
BIRD BIRD and threw it on the floor, where it
fluttered about for few moments, turned
over on it's back and Grim thought he
had killed the thing. He picked 1t up,
took it out and threw it over the renee
into the poultry yard and went back to
his work.
In the course Of an hour he heard a
wonderful commotion among the chick
ems; he ran out, and there lay dead eight
old rooster by the throat and was crying
at the top of her voice, Say I'm Pro
hibitionist' or I'll choke you to DEATH"

A SEVEN DAY LID.

Bishop Luther B. Wilson in fine
address before the Northern Mime
sofa M. E. Conference in October
said:
when you issue a license you decker
with the powers Of hell. 1t looks
like putting the morality Of the period
on the bargain counter. It is like. selling
the honor Of your boy and the virtue of
your girls to the highest bidder: For
$500 or 1000 you sell to an enemy the
right to batter down all the prosperity
built up by the tariff, and all the ad-
vancement made through the public
school. ~
IT was glad when they told me. The
lid is on here Sunday. We have a man
who put it there and has kept 1t there.
I am glad that all the forces which stand
for righteousness have stood by him In
"But there is more to follow. If you
can put the lid on Sunday, you can put
It on Monday. Go ahead and capture
the next entrenchment, and the next and
the next The saloon is not the harmless
thing it looks to be, but blazing battery,
firing constantly at every constructive
institution. What we need is more iron
in our blood to press on the fight. until
every stronghold is taken and the flag OF
victory floats triumphant over the citadel

HAND.TC-HAND WORK.

Virgil G.. Hinshaw, Field Secretary,
swears by the house-to-house, hand
shaking plan Of campaign which
reaches the last man in district and
inspires in him the spark Of hope"
that Prohibition candidate can win.
Speaking of such campaigns he says:
"They prove that we can win just to
the extent that we labor. There Is not
a legislative district. in Minnesota that
cannot be carried for. the Prohibition
party as a result of a thorough house-to-
house canvass There is not one man in
a hundred who would not, If he could,
do away with the whole saloon business
and just as surely as you go from one
man to the other getting different ones
upon record thus proving to each ind indi
his district for tie Prohibition party,
you will gain his support, and will In the
end carry your district Let every man
be willing to spend enough time to see
fifty or a hundred voters and our victories
will rapidly multiply"

BOTH SIDES SEES THE OTHER
SIDE

Both Sides, the liquor organ, says:
1.-THE Prohibition party in this state
elected the following national and state
legislators at the recent election: Geo.
Albert Lea; c. E. Lasher, Montevideo and
c. E. Lobeck of Alexandria. Not such
very bad showing, but it proves that
that the saloon element must keep
watchful eye to their interests and see
to it that candidates are elected who are
not antagonistic to the liquor traffic.
a few votes but two years from now
we will give the saloon such flashing
that you will remember this years
campaign as huckleberry party.

"YOUR NEW SUBSCRIBERS HERE
ARE DELIGHTED WITH THEIR
POST.CARDS."- HELEN B.
ECKMAN, HENDRUM.
AS SEEN BY THE ENEMY.

The following is from Midas Cri-
terion, a prominent liquor paper. Its
editor will sit up still straighter when
the stage gets in with the news from
Minnesota:
'In our capacity of Waterman on the
walls we are compelled to admit that In
the recent ELECTORAL contests in 80 states
of the Union the Prohibition party made
marked gains. Compared with the figures
they attained two years in the Presl-
Dental contest under Swallow, their vote
was larger although the voting was con-
fined to but 80 states. Especially in llli-
nois was their strength exhibited as their
vote for Allin as state treasurer was
treble what it was. for Swallow two years
ago. The vote of Allin was $1,000, the
highest ever given Prohibitionist in the
state. They elected three members to the
legislature, although AlonZo wilson OF
members of the last legislature were
defeated"

THE STATE CAMPAIGN FUND.
Where it Comes From and Where it
Goes

Following is statement of the
receipts and expenses of the State
Prohibition Committee from March 7,
1906, the date on which it was chosen,
to election-day, Nov. 6, 1906.
Election returns of the several
states, which are now practically COM
plete, show that those which have
won the honor Of having elected Pro
hibition party candidates to the legis-
lature without the aid of old-party en-
dorsements or fusion of any kind are
West Virginia, Illinois and Minnesota.
Illinois and Minnesota have each
chosen three and West Virginia one.
BY various combinations one state
senator and thirteen state represen-
tatives who are ProhibitiOnists were
elected in Pennsylvania; one state
senator each in New York, and Wash
ington; two representatives in West
Virginia and one each in Massachu-
sets and Florida.

FANATlCISM AND THE SALOON.

FANATiCISM AND THE SALOON.
Rev. Father Cleary of Minneapolis,
one of the most eloquent and fear
less champions of temperance in the
Catholic church in a recent address
before 1000 Illinoisans made this ring
ing appeal
1.-THE cry of fanaticism is one of the
greatest obstacles we meet on the part or
our legislators. How about the fanati-
cism Of the saloon keeper? We commit
ourselves to a sane sobriety. We must
antagonize the saloon because 1t de-
bauches the people in the use Of liquor, In
their political relations and life and In
the dissipation of wages
1--WE have this contest ever with us be-
cause the saloons are constant laWbreak-
ers and are supported by the beer and
brewery trusts, the most dangerous IN
our country 1 am more afraid OF the
red light of the corner than the red light
of anarchy"
