Tonk Mills brought in a large
herd of his famous white. faced cat
tie from the prairie wheat lands
last week. 1t is needless to say that
Mr.. Mills not only has the white
face" but he has the better grade of
them for which there::is always. a;
special demand.
A man was in the city recently
inquiring for job. This is the
first instance of the kind that we
personally know of since coming
to this part of the west; for the past
two or three years farmers of this
locality have been pleading, almost
praying for help but it seems like
they are well stocked for the pres
ent.

Jim Smith, who received injurie:

1t is reported that O. H. Dunbar
has gone back to his old home

housekeeper and when he returns he
has promised that he will make
that restaurant 50 per cent better
which looks to us as being hard to
do.
After some twenty odd years oi
constant correspondence to the In
dex from this place it has become
generally known who does the writ
ing, hence it is not necessary for us
to sign our name to our letters anc
whenever it is thought necessary
for us to write to any other paper
you will always find our communi
cations signed by w. c. Afford
We make this statement for the
reason that some, in fact severa
persons, have stated that we are the
party who wrote the communica-
tion to the Kiowa News Review
and signed it Citizen. We are no
writing under that name, but arr
perfectly willing to father our writ
ings whether good or bad, so we
plead not guilty in this case and
while we might be willing to sec
ond the motion of the writer who
signs his name as Citizen we ar
not willing to hide behind any as
sumed name but are and alway
have been willing to face the musi
and take our medicine no matte
how much abuse it might cause, St
don't worry over this little matter
for when we have anything to say
about anyone you will certainly
know who to go after.

The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-03-19
Official Call for Party Gathering in June at
South Manchester

South Manchester Conn, March T. 1905
To THE CITIZENS AND VOTERS OF THE STATE OF
CONNECTICUT In announcing the date of the
Connecticut Prohibition state convention. we en-
brace the opportunity to congratulate the citizens
of Our state upon the increasing indications of
purpose to abolish the liquor traffic by the enact
ment of prohibitory laws, both by state and ma
tional legislatures
The effectiveness of prohibtory laws, when
honestly enforced is demonstrated by the aggres-
sve opposition to them by the liquor interests
The constantly growing sentiment against the sa-
loon in state, town and hamlet must be crystal
lied into ballots and law until by their irresist-
IDLE force, this abominabe and law-defying traf-
ic shall be forever prohibited by state and ma
tional constitutions.
The year 1907 will be memorable because of
the passage of prohibitory laws by the common
Wealths of Oklahoma, Georgia and Alabama The
year 1908 bids fair to make as enviab1e a record
The sovereign state of Mississippi has already
passed similar law and the indications are that
other states will follow.
Quoting in part the language of the call for
the national Prohibition convention we invite
the Prohibitionists of the several towns of our
state, without regard to past political affiliations
and all citizens who believe with us that the man
ufacture, importation, expectation, transportation
and sale OF alcoholic liquors for beverage purposes
is a question of tranScendent Importance and
that it should be settled at the ballot box at the
earliest date, to unite in the selection of delegates
to the state convention of the Prohibition party
which is hereby called to meet in Odd Fellows
Hall IN South Manchester, Conn, beginning at
p m Tuesday, June 30; and continuing on Thurs
day, June "A, 1905 to nominate candidates for
governor, secretary, treasurer, comptroller and
congressman at-large, and for the transaction of
any business that may come before said conven-
ton
We are thoroughly convinced that if every
American voter of our beloved commonwealth
who believes that the liquor traffic should be out
laWed will contribute the strength of his inf1,1-
ence, position and means in the coming campaign
for righteous government, we shall witness a ire
mendous advance toward the prohibition of the
liquor traffic
The basis of representation has been fixed by
the state committee as follows
First-Each town is entitled to one delegate at
large.
Second-Each town is entitled to an additional
delegate for every ten votes cast for Matthew E.
O'Brien for governor in 1906.
Third-Each town is entitled to as many alter
mates as its number of delegates.
The time and manner in which these delegates
and alternates shall be chosen will be determined
by the Prohibitionsts of the various towns under
the following restrictions:
Wherever the party has recognized town COM
mittee, the delegates and aernates must be chosen
