the finest Prohibition meetings held in this
part of Rock Island county off in the
Methodist church, which was crowded with peo-
pie to hear former Representative Aonzo E.

righteousness. The meeting was in the midst of
revival meetings and it is thought it will help
the revival. Delegates were present from Reyn-
Odds and Edgington. The meeting was held
der the auspices of the w. C. T. U. There is an
awakened interest and converts being made
to Prohibition.
Rock ISLAND ILLINOIS, December Estate
Chairman Alonzo E. Wilson spent the day in this
city to strengthen the county organization and
to push matters for vote on Prohibition next
spring. He not only conferred with the church
people and pastors but had conferences with
some of the politicians who needed in order
to win the fight. He is much pleased with the
outlook of petitions being circulated and was
sured that Rock Island would go dry, if all ee-
ments-Cathocs and Protestants and non-church
goers got together There are ninety-three sa-
looms in this city. Not single is owned by
an individual saloonkeeper. They all owned
by breweries. There is a revulsion of feeling on
the part of drinking men who are anxious to hit
the saloon because of the wholesale way in which
they have been robbed by these lawbreakers.
Rock Island is likely to go dry next spring
