THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATIVE
CAMPAIGN OE 1906.

until recently PrOh1bltlOniStS have
not been accustomed to go into a cam
paign in hope of winning at a very
early day. They have nominated their
candidates as an entity about which
to rally and vote their principles"
They have labored on in the hope of
such steady increase of their vote
as would after while put the party in
power or make it an efficient factor
in some new party which would make
prohibition part of it's policy. They
have looked to see the vote for our
candidates for the various offices,
high and low, grow side by SIDE
Latterly, however, the idea has
gained credence that the party should
be builded from the bottom upward,
that local offices should be filled with
Prohibitionists first and that as a re-
suit of their wise administration and
of the growth of the party organiza-
ton we would be able later to capture
the more important offices.
1t seemed good to Minnesota Pro-
hibitionists to begin with the legis-
lature. This appeared to them to be
the logical as well as the hopeful
point of attack, since we need first a
new law. Out-to-win fights were made
in nine legislative districts two years
ago with resulting increase of lib
per cent over our legislative vote of
the preceding campaign. If our ticket
had received the same rate of increase
over the entire state, we would have
polled $4,000 votes. A change of from
16 to 165 votes from the winner to
our candidate would have sent our
man to the legislature from five dis
tricts.
About 40 candidates for the legisla-
ture were nominated at the primary
election last month. Pains have been
taken to name strong men and it is
conservative to say that in most cases
our candidates are fully as we'll equip
ped for service in the legislature as
their rivals in the other parties.
Some OF our men are head and Shout
ders above them.
The campaign which is being waged
this year is much more effective and
far-reaching than that of 1904. House.
toulouse canvasses are being made, in
many cases greatly exceeding those of
the other parties in thoroughness.
Entire districts are being covered with
posters, cards and other literature.
The weekly press is being enlisted
and splendid meetings are being held
indoors and Out-Of-doors. Nothing ap-
preaching it has ever been known
among us.
And October is yet before us.

FOR NEW MEMBERS.
Method of Procedure Outlined by
State Master Hill of Pennsylvania.


Applications for membership in
subordinate grange should be presented
at regular meeting. The fee should
in each instance accompany the appli-
cation and be placed in the hands of the
secretary, who at the close Of the meet
ing is expected to turn it, along with
the other receipts of the evening, over
to the treasurer, taking his receipt for
the full amount. When an application
Is presented, Endorsed on the back by
two members OF the grange and accom-
panied by the fee, Il becomes the duty
Of the master to appoint an investigat-
ing committee. 1t is expected by the
grange that this committee will, in the
interval between then and the next reg
ular meeting of the grange, if the appli-
cant be not personally and well known
TO them, make diligent inquiry con
corning his character, general habits,
etc. reporting at the next meeting
either favorable or unfavOrable, the
nature of their report having been de-
termined by their knowledge or per
sOnal findings in regard to the appli-
cant Should the report be presented
as being unfavorable it is to be re-
garded as an expression of the views Of
the committee upon the ACCESSIBILITY of

the grange receiving him, but does not
in any way affect a necessity for taking
the ballot. Unless the application is
withdrawn by friends the ballot must
be taken just the same when the report
is unfavorable as though 1t were favor
able. 1t is not legal for Il subordinate
grange to ballot upon an application
until after it has been presented to the
grange and laid over until the next reg
ular meeting. At this second regular
meeting, however, the ballot may be
taken and the first two degrees con
ferred If desired. it is of course well
understood that not more than two de
grees are to be conferred upon a candi-
date at the same regular meeting

The foregoing outline, from Ameri-
can Agriculturist. of the process of
manufacturing alcohol, especially the
mention of much and complicated APP
paratus, indicates that for farmer to
make alcohol from the refuse of his
farm is not so simple matter as may
at first be thought. AS good authority
as DR.. Wiley, chief chemist of the de-
partment of agriculture, has found it
advisable to warn farmers that it
would hardly prove profitable TO un.
dertake the manufacture of alcohol in
small way on the farm. His idea is
that, as central factories are necessary
III the beet sugar industry, so will cen
trail distilleries be in making alcohol.

enthusiastic grange worker, and much
of the success of the Order in Maine
may be attributed to his earnest labors.
Speaking of the grange work in the
Pine Tree State, the Rural New York

conditions in Maine are very favor
able for grange work. There are few
large towns and cities, so that country
people are thrown largely upon their
