CHICAGO'S LOCAL ELECTION

in Chicago over the local spring election which
will take place before this paper reaches its read
ers The Prohibtionists have candidates for
aldermen in every ward of the city and two of
these, Mr.. E. L. Kletzing and Mr. Edward J.
Hunt, nominated in the twenty seventh and
eighteenth wards, have been endorsed by the
Chicago Daily NeaVs, the recognized organ of
the independent vote. An energetic fight is being
made for the election of Mr.. Kletzing and as
these lines are written his election seems wholly
possible.
Throughout the state of Illinois the principal
interest of the spring elections centers in the
saloon question, and it is universally conceded
that the "dry" territory of the state will be i'm
mensely increased.

CAMPAIGN IN MINNESOTA
Editor of National Prohibitionist" Makes
Speaking Raid in North Star State.
Makes

has been conducted during the past week under
the auspices of the Prohibition state committee
Mr.. VIM. P. F. Ferguson of Chicago has been
the chief speaker. The campaign began with a
banquet which the Prohibitionists of Hennepn
county held in this city on Tuesday evening. The
attendance at the banquet was surprisingly large
and the crowd was very enthusiastic and appre
ciative, cheering the speakers and giving every
token of approval to the expressions of progress
and victory that uttered. At the conclu
sion of Mr. Fergusons address appeal
made for funds to be used specially for the work
in Hennepin county and the banqueters re-
sponded with cash and subscriptions to the
amount of $375 This was little less than
markable in view of the fact that nearly every
one present had already made pledges for the
state work.
The program of the banquet speeches was as
follows:

The supper was served by Dorsett-a state
ment that is sufficient to guarantee the quality
of that part of the entertainment.
On Wednesday evening Mr.. Ferguson spoke
at Zumbrota in Goodhue county. A terrific
wind storm, together with sudden and severe
fall of temperature made it almost impossible
for people to come from any distance, but
good audience in attendance. On Thurs
day Mr. Ferguson with Mr.. John A. Shields, the
assistant secretary of the state committee, at
tended the Dodge county convention at Dodge
Center and addressed fine audience in the
opera house in that place on the evening
On Friday the Prohbitionists of Olmstead
county held their county convention at Roch
ester and Mr. Ferguson and Mr.. Shields were
in attendance. The convention was an exceed
ingly interesting occasion in view of an attempt
made by the Republican politicians in the name
of temperance reform, to capture the convention
and secure the nomination of legislative candi
dates who could be depended upon to "lie down"
and let the Republicans carry the election. The
scheme failed and the Republicans of Olmstead
county are in an exceedingly 11o1v frame Of mind

Already over twenty meetings have been
ranged for.
DR.. Tiffany is still meeting with splendid
cess in his campaign in Schoharie Fulton, Her
kimer and other counties. He is raising more
than his salary and expenses in cash. as we'll as
securing generous pledges for state work. Chair
man Hill of Herkimer states that they have had
every national speaker of prominence in our ranks
in his county, that they expected something of Tiff
fany he was SO greatly advertised, and that he
greatly surprised that the doctors speeches
so far beyond what he had dreamed posi-
ble that he feels under much debt to the state
committee for sending him to Herkmer county
From nearly every county the doctor has visited
requests to send him back.
Seneca county has held its reorganization
meeting, reelected Chairman F. D. Ward and
elected its one delegate and alternate to the
national convention. Delegate, Chas. Mcknight,

Many New York state Prohibitonists will
learn with deep regret Of the death of Mr.. F. A.
Ellis of Elmira. Mr. Ellis has for many years
been Woodworking and enthusiastic Prohib
ZIONIST. He was for time connected with
Prohibition paper published in Chautauqua coun-
ty. New York. and later was the manager of the
Facts Printing Company, which published The
Facts and then The Defender in Emira. Those
who knew Mr.. Ellis personally will always re-
member him as courteous gentleman, warm
friend, an honest business man and Prohibition
enthusiast Those who were associated with him
in the publication of The Facts and The De-
fender know that he gave to his duties in con-
nection with those papers the most unstinting
service.
Threats continue to be made against State
Chairman Pitts of New York state for his &C
tivity against the political corruptionists of
Oswego county, in which Mr.. Pitts lives. At
tempts to find some of bringing legal
prosecutions against him have been made by the
Oswego Liquor Dealers Association but no
avenue of attack can be found. Resort has &C
cordingy been had to "blackhand" notices and
obscure communications prophesying evil Mr.
Pitts has filed legal application with the mayor
