Prohibition Wins in American Falls,
Idaho-Women Voters Help.
(The Union Signal. Evanston, HID
The gerat tidal wave of temper
ance which is being felt all over
the world is sweeping on with power
in the great mountain regions of the
west, and the women voters of the
inter-mountain region are coming
forward splendidly in this great bat
tie with intemperance.
The recent contest at American
Falls, Idaho, on July Ia, shows the
power of consecrated womanhOod
and fearless mani ood-for the whis-
ky element was overthrown finally,
though not without a mighty strug-
gle.
Mrs. L. L. Shepard, state presi-
dent of Utah w. G. T.. u, who had
been lecturing through the state, was
called to this field of action to speak
two nights preceding the election.
Effort was made by the business men
to secure the opera house for these
lectures but the enemy was in con-
troll and the opera house was not
available.
On Sunday evening, Mrs. Shepard
spoke on "The Saloons Debt to the
Home" and on Monday night, on
'The Saloons Debt to Pauperized
Labor" but on Monday the enemy
secured the opera house and whisky
advocate to espouse their cause. The
town was covered with bills announc-
ing that Truxton Talbot would speak
on "The Saloon-A Moral Factor.
A committee waited upon him and
asked him to give Mrs. Shepard 80
minutes during the evening, but this
he would not grant; so the two meet
ings were held simultaneously. While
the liquor advocate did not touch his
subject at all, but mostly emphasized
that well-worn sentence, "Prohibi-i
ton does not prohibit" he certainly
added voters to the temperance
ranks.
A Christian temperance editor OF
idaho Falls made some extracts from
Mrs. Shepard's address, which We're
printed during Monday night, and
these bills were placed in the hands
of every voter early Tuesday morn
ing.
The women of our union worked
faithfully both at the polls and in
securing voters with their carriages
and in serving lemonade to all dur
ing the day. And when the ballots
were counted at night, victory was
ours, and the saloons will close on
October 81, 1908.
FLOWING is the text of the handful
with points from Mrs. Shepard's adj
dress, which helped win the day at
American Falls
