HOLLER FOR VICE-PRESIDENT
South Bend People Voice Esteem of Ener-
getic Saloon Fighter

SOUTH BEND, IND. March 2O-(Special CORE
spondence)-The South Bend Prohibition ALI
ance, in resolutions formally adopted, declare
for the nomination of Mr.. Chas F. Holler of this
city as Prohibition candidate for Vice-President
at the coming national convention. The ALI
ance takes its action because it believes that Mr..
Holler is qualified in ability loyalty and patriot
ism for the performance of the duties of this
office, and because it believes that his devotion
to the Prohibition cause has entitled him to the
honor.
Mr.. Holers recent activities against the liquor
traffic have brought upon him a series of petty
but exceedingly annoying prosecutions. dis
barred and discredited former attorney, who is
known to be hireling of the liquor interests,
has been responsible for the filing of complaints
against Mr.. Holer although he admits that he
does not believe them to be truthful. The re-
spectacle people of this city, however, have full
confidence in Mr.. Holler's honesty and integ
rity and the efforts of the liquor traffic and the
criminal classes to injure and annoy him only
add to his just popularity.

DEBATE IN MINNEAPOLIS
Calderwood Upholds Prohibition Before Great
Audience
Audience

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI. March 16-( Especial cor
respondence) THE big debate, Prohibition VS.
Regulation, scheduled for o'clock Sunday
afternoon at the Metropolitan Theater, Mime
apolis, in which Mr.. John Maddox purchasing
agent of the Pillsbury Mills, upheld the regu-
lation side, and Mr. w. G. Calderwood, of the
Prohibition state committee, defended the Pro
hbton side, was by all odds the greatest political
moral discussion not only of the liquor ques
ton but of any question, held in Minnesota in
recent years. Nearly an hour before the time
for beginning the theater was packed and still
the people came. When more than two thou
sand people had assembled the doors were closed
and a thousand others were turned away
Mayor J. C. Haynes of Minneapolis acted as
chairman and introduced the speakers. Mr..
Maddox started the discussion and occupied his
entire hour with an elaborate discussion of the
unconsttutionality of Prohibition He ably
maintained that government by the majority is
mob rule, holding that the constitution is su
preme. He received generous applause from
all sides of the house
Mr.. Calderwood's introduction called forth
great applause, and it several minutes be-
fore he was able to begin speaking. He at once
entered upon the constitutional phase of the
He brought statistics and records from Jail war
dens and judges and courts. He declared that
it was an affront to the people to hold that
majority rule is mob rule; that this is a govern
ment of the people, by the people, and for the
people," He showed how the principles upon
which constitutions rest are not in harmony with
the legalization of the liquor traffic; that the
constitution might be torn to pieces and burned,
and still the liberties of the people be conserved
AT the close of his hour even those who differed
from Mr.. Calderwood declared that his was
one of the ablest discussions ever presented be-
fore Minneapolis audience
The speeches have been reported and will
doubtless be published soon In the meantime
the state committee has challenged Mr.. Maddox
to repetition of the discussion in number of
Minnesota points.

SOUTH MANCHESTER, CONN, March 21-(Spe-
cial correspondence state executive com
mttee has secured another speaker for the
state convention Fred E. Britten of Boston Mr.
Brtten was formerly state chairman of Mich
gan and is known as forceful speaker.
Ernest A. Smith, who entered the employ OF
the state committee March H. is meeting with
good success. He began his work in Enfield and
will canvass the towns in the northern and east
ern sections of the state. Our friends urged
to secure him every opportunity possible to see
and interview hopeful men and women who
not yet affiliated with our party.
The correspondence received by the state com
mttee is very optimistic and hopeful and indi
Gates an awakening public conscience. That
liquor interests are aware of it is indicated by
the fact that they have just engaged Fred w
Orr of New Haven, who resigned his position
in the internal revenue Office in this district to
take this position as field secretary of the Con
necticut Breweries' Association. That the
papers recognize it as move to checkmate our
having Mr.. O'Brien at the state and national
capitals is indicated by their articles.
Although denied by the brewers, it is never
theless true that they mean to be on hand on
election day and in the legislature.
At the city elections to be held April in
Hanford and April IA in New Britain, vote
on the license question will be taken and commit
tees are actively at work. 1t is expected that
large vote against license will be polled and
some are optimistic enough to say that no-license

campaign.
Chairman Hohenthal requests that all town
chairmen call their local caucuses at for the
choice of delegates and town committees. This
is absolutely essential and must not be delayed.

 Can we whip that New Britain bunch tonight?
 Providence will be up against it in Pawtucket this evening.
 Springfield fans are hot for the game. Years ago it was a good polo town and they had a top notch team; Roberts and McPeck rushers, Gamma van center. Murray halfback and Lations goal. They were called the gentleman polo team.
 There is a plan on foot to supply the various polo referees with a reg ular league uniform. Just what kind of a flock of swaddling clothes the league directors will decide on is a matter of conjecture, but Red Rorty will certainly be a handsome oil painting if they select anything like pink kimonos.-New Haven Register.

THE RUBE COST NOTHING.

Pittsburg, Feb 15.-That "Rube'' Waddell did not cost the St Louis Am- erican league club q cent is the word conveyed to q sporting man of this city by a player on the Philadelphia team. The letter says Mack was su dlsglsted with Waddell that he deter- mined to get rid of him this year, even if he had to give him away.
 He asked waivers from every club in the league and promptly got them from all except St Louis. As the club refusing to waive claim must take the player at the waive price, $l,500, that on the face is what "Rube" cost the Browns, and all stories that he cost as high as SS,000 are being laugh ed by the knowing ones. But in his telegra telling McAleer that he was welcome to Waddell, Mack said; If you take him I will forfeit the waive claim"
 A number of circumstances led up to "Rube's" disposal by the Philadel- phia Athletics. The other players re- volted against him, and declared they would not play when he was pitching. Not that they had anything against him: they all admired the cratic, country boy, but they never knew when he was going to take trip in a flying machine and spoil all their good work. They had no confidence with him in the box. Consequently, for the good of the club, he was turn ed over to McAleer.
