Evidence of Criminal Relations with the Beer
Maker as the Go-Between

Editor of THE NATIONAL PRoHIBITIoNIsT =
About five months ago a good friend of mine,
with whom I have been acquainted for about
twenty years, and myself met the president of
the McAvoy Brewing company, Mr.. Adam Of
seifen, in the City Hall, Chicago We urged him
not to sell the product of his brewery to illegal
saloonkeepers in Hyde Park (what we call blind
pig keepers). I showed him about $500 worth
of bills from his own brewery, nearly every dollar
of which was for beer sold to blind pig keeper
in Hyde Park He said in substance, "We are
manufacturers and we sell to anybody
Mr. Otseifen lives in one of the Hyde Park
Prohibition districts and, according to the city
directory of Chicago of 1906, there are thirteen
brewers living in the Hyde Park Prohibition
districts
Regarding the photograph of the bills of the
Gottfried Brewing Company, I desire to say that

WORKERS NOTES


Your suggestions might be valuable in this
column. Try it,!
Prohibition workers should preach the Doc
trine of Can" and practice it as we'll as preach
Prohibition workers should continually empha-
size the fact that the Prohibition party opposes
the manufacture of Intoxicating liquors as we'll
as their retail sale.
The Prohibition party can win for the cause it
represents only by getting votes. How to get
to vote the Prohibition ticket, and how to
keep them is vitay important
Do you know what polling precinct town or
ward, assembly, senatorial and Congressional dis
trict you live in? Is your upon the proper
poll list duly qualified voter? These are
things that you ought to know.
Do your precinct town ward or county COM
mltteemen have your name correctly enrolled upon
their lists of voters? 1t would help very materi-
ally if you would volunteer to send your name
to the different committees, that they could
have your correctly entered.
Every Prohibition worker should know the
boundaries of his district and the name and ad-
dress of every Prohibitionist within it's limits
He should also know the and party afilia-
tons of the old party voters in the district, so
that he may know how to approach them to win
their support.
1t is we'll to remember that he who carries his
voting precinct for the Prohibition party is
greater than he who makes many speeches but
fails to register and vote at election. The man
who carries his precinct for the Prohibition party
is the most important man in the Prohibition
machine
In using money for Prohibition work. whether
from your private funds from the funds of
committee keep firmly in mind the object the
making of Prohibition votes in the cheapest hon
orable way. Just now the placing of live
Prohibition newspaper like The National Pyoli-
bitl0nist, in the hands of readers is probably
the most effective line of work to make Prohibi-
ton votes.
The man who expects to carry his precinct must
keep everlastngly at it. He should remember that
his object is to win by all honorable means the
votes of the men of his neighborhood for the
Prohibition party the highest basis on which
they can be secured He should also remember
his personal sef-respect by over-criticism of his
former political party and its license policy
When you interview Republican or Demo
cratic voter, remember that the important thing
is not to convict him of political sin but to 7Vin
him to political righteousness. We can win more
men successfully by magnifying the present sent-

ineffectiveness of this sentiment because good
citizens are divided among separate parties, and
by showing their tremendous power if united for
Prohibition and pure politics. than by calling
down anathemas upon their heads.

so the following advice from an ex-

helpful:
The FIRST need is a table or stand
for the object. Most ordinary tables
are too low and also troublesome to

room. After various experiments l
have arrived at a very simple and
practical arrangement. which any one
can make at a trialng cost and trou-

idea OF the size OF the stand. From

teen inches wide and six inches deep.
Three broomsticks were bought and
all cut to exactly the same length
viz, three feet nine inches. Inside the
two front corners OF the box topen side
downward) are fixed two Of the broom
sticks. The third hroomstick leg Is
fixed to the inside Of the middle Of the
opposite long edge Of the box. Nails
may be used, but screws are stronger
and safer. Lastly, | bought three
window blind laths. These are about
an inch wide and one-quarter inch
thick. Two Of them are cut to two
feet nine inches 10 length. The third
may conveniently be two feet long
The two lower laths are used as back
ground supports and are fixed to the
outside OF the table top near the right
and left hand ends. The third Is Fixed
to the middle Of one end Of the box.
For fixing these three laths use one
short, stout screw for each. This en-.
