OSWEGO COUNTY
News From the Empire States Champion
Field of Effort

OswEGo. N. Y, January 3-(Special core
spondence) AT the reorganization meeting Of
the Oswego county Prohibitionists, held in Os
wego on Tuesday, G. d. Harger unanimously
reelected county chairman, and Geo. r. Blount,
vice-chairman. The following men elected to
constitute, with Messrs. Harger and Blount, the
county executive committee: F. E. Passmore,
w. G. Chaffee, c. E. Pitts, F. H. Cyrenius, Geo
W. Rogers, Judson Stevenson and Will Fuller.
The report of the county chairman showed that
a large part of the work of the past year had
been concentrated into six of the most hopeful
towns of the county. OF these one Hannibal,
was carried in spite of barrels of money used
by leaders of both the old parties, who were de
termined that the Prohibitionists should not keep.
control of this town, which they carried two
years ago.
In another town, Sandy Creek, we came so
winning that a change of % votes would
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-01-16

have carried the town for Our party. Several of
the leading Prohibitionists of the town declared
that If they had known they were coming
near to victory they would have put forth the
necessary extra effort to have won. This en-
phasizes the necessity and Importance of fighting
to 70n every time. In two other towns were
defeated by small margin that the defeat
had almost the effect of victory. In the county
at large fine gain over the vote of last year
was made.
Coley Chadwick worked several months for the
committee and did very efficient work, both in
getting signatures to the Venango pledge, secur-
ing subscriptions to the county fund and to the
local paper, the Observer, as we'll as personal
work. He also greatly added to the efficiency of
many public meetings in his service of songs,
which he accompanied on his guitar
The report of the treasurer showed that, in
spite of the fact that the committee had received
$4,000 less than last year from sources outside
the county, there were now outstanding enough
pledges to meet all expenses of the strenuous
campaign that had been conducted under many
difficulties. However, $500 is needed at once
to pay all bills and begin the new year without
embarrassment Every one owing a pledge
made the committee is urged to remit the balance
due at once.
In order to give the new campaign vigorous
start, all friends of the Oswego county work who
appreciate the inspiration that has gone strong
and to many fields from the successes of this
country are requested to write Chairman G. d.
Harger, Oswego, N. Y, at once the amount they
willing to contribute for the work in the
county this year, SO that he may have something
substantial on which to make plans Send along
as large remittance with the letter as possible
