CALDERWOOD GOES EAST
The State and National Secretary Boosts
the Campaign in Several States

Sec Calderwood is back from fly
ing trip to the East. He was ac-
companied by Rev. S. w. Squire,
soloist.
Their objective was the Connecticut
state convention for which they have
been under engagement several
months. Their first stop en- route was
at Lodi, Wis, where meetings were
held on the street and in the Opera
House. Sunday was spent at Madison,
where three meetings took place, the
last big union meeting in the M. E.
church. A helpful meeting at Kala-
mazoo, Mich, and then on!
Our party talked and sang at the
State Convention rally at West Haven,
Conn, and at the convention itself the
following day, Mr.. Calderwood giving
Nutmeg PrOhibs his views on Doing
| Politics."
Matthew E. OBrien, Republican
/ sheriff of Bridgeport for two terms,
was nominated for governor amid
great enthusiasm. He has been
Republican leader in his home city
for ten years After PrOhibitiOnists
began to discuss his name in connec-
tion with gubernatOrial hOnors, he was
unanimously chosen as delegate to
the Republican city convention but
declined the honor. 1t was Sheriff
O'Bnens experience in trying to en-
force the liquor law which opened his
eyes to the completely Of the Repnb-
lican machine with saloon anarchy and
made him a ProhibitiOnist. Mr.. Cal
derwood put Connecticut Prohibition
leaders next to the fact that, under
their system of representation in the
legislature by towns, the election OF
two representatives from given
district would give them as much
power as New Haven, for instance,
and that if no-license territory were to
concentrate on the legislature, it could
control that body and GUST the saloon
from the state.
Although Connecticut is only as
large as goodsized Minnesota
county, our secretary did not run
over" to Massachusetts to size up the
gallant fight our men are making
there He heard its echoes neverthe-
less Led by John B. Moran, Suffolk
countys fearless district attorney, the
most strenuous campaign OF the
party's history in the Bay state is
being waged. Grafters, bribers and
law-violating liquor-sellers are wonder
| ing WnaC Will COulo uoAL.
Now our duet are off for rally at
Philadelphia and two at UniontOwn
and Washington, Pa, with Homer
Castle in his big campaign for Gov
) ernor The old keystone state is
being rocked as rarely before. Every
daily newspaper in Pennsylvania
which supports the Republican gang
!, , or the Fusion-whiskey ticket is being
! forced by the public interest to pub
lish the news of the Castle canvass,
,, and to get even in attempting to drown
!, , his fearless voice for political honesty
and righteousness in an uproar OF
editorial vituperation and abuse.
Our travellers last stop was at
: Evanston, ILL.,, where they took in one
5 of Chairman Wilson's Prohibition
= Chautauquas and got in some work
of their own. And it isn't bad work
either.
