NEWLIN SHAKES ILLINOIS TOWN
Hoosier Quaker Invades Prairie State Oil
Field in War Against Liquor Traffic

ROBINSON, ILLINOIS, December 2s-(Specal
correspondence &C. E. NEwLIN, of Indianapolis,
Ind, gave this growing oil town a shaking up
last night that it will not soon forget This has
been a difficult point to secure good audiences,
and it freely predicted late last evening that
there would not be a dozen people out to hear
Mr.. NEwL1N. But when the meeting was called
to order by WILLIAM WILSON, of Trmble, the
court room we'll nigh filled with the best
citizens of Robinson. Circuit Judge E. E. New
LIN, who last night learned that he is distant
relative of the speaker, was first introduced, and
assured the audience that from his ten years
experience the bench he could state positively
that Prohibition is great success in saving
money for the county and relieving it of crime
and that no such miscarriage of justice as the
"ToM CHAMALEs' trial in Chicago could occur
in Crawford county. Judge NEwLIN then intro
dnced the speaker, who held the closest attention
of the large audience for nearly an hour and
half.
1t is predicted on the street this morning that
of Mr.. NEWLIN returns to Robinson to
speak, room in the city can hold the crowd
who will want to hear him.
PARIS, ILL, December 3o-(Special CORE
spondence) .-Yesterday was a red letter day
for Paris. 1t marked the opening battle for
Prohibition in this city, which it is confidently
predicted will result in victory in the local
option election on April z. C. E. NEwL1N of
day. At 10 80 he spoke in the United Brethren
church; at 100 p. m. he lectured before SPLEEN
did audience in the opera house; at 80 he ad-
dressed union meeting of all the Young
Peoples societies of the city and at night he
spoke to fine audience in the Christian church.
Pastors and many others declared that no
more helpful addresses were ever given in Paris.

ATLANTA'S CHRISTMAS

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, December 27.-(Special cor
respondence )-One of the remarkable features
of the Christmas just past was the absence of
drunkenness. 1t was anticipated that drunken
ness would be more marked than usual in view of
the fact that the prohibitory law is about to go
into effect, but the contrary was the case. At
lanta never saw so sober and orderly Christ
mas. 1t is believed here that the moral effect of
the passage of the Prohibition law is largely the
cause of this

This arrangement gives every county at least

Prohibitionists available for delegates in case it
has none of its own, and provides for final hlng

delegates more than usual.

of voters, such as the farmer, laborer church

Messrs. PITTS, HARGER and HARTMAN were
directed to engage some person as an assistant,
to make speciality of raising funds throughout
the state, both for the county and state commit
