Field of Lone Star State

Dallas city Prohibitionists held an en-
thuslastic meeting in the Southland Ho-
tel Tuesday of last week and organized
the Central National Issue Club of
the city. The club is composed of
twenty-seven of the very best men in the
city, and at least as many more will
join within few weeks. The purpose
of this club is largely to aid in the for
nation of like clubs in all the wards in
the city. J. S. Hetherington is presi-
dent, w. H. Potts, vice-president, and
A. A. Cooke, secretary.
The state Prohibition committee is di-
viding the state by districts, and pro-
poses to organize number of National
Issue Clubs in every senatorial district
in Texas. The form of the national
committees pledge is being enlarged on
to meet the needs of Texas, the dual
purpose of the clubs being to work for
large national vote, and to thoroughly
organize every district for state Prohibi-
ton, to the end that legislators be elect
ed this year, committed to the submits
sion of a constitutional amendment in
1909.
State Secretary Paige spent part of
two days last week in Bowie. Mr.. A.
c. Schneider, leading merchant there,
is one of our best men. He is one that
is contributing $500 to the state work
this year. w. NJ Mckee, J. L. Rudy,
Elmer Alfred, R. C. Levister, Bob"
Meyers and many others are on the
firing line there. A National Issue Club
will be organized at an early date.
Mr.. George c. Ulmer spent several
days last week at Alvord. Over thirty
voters agreed to support the national
ticket, and some $50 was subscribed to
the state fund A National Issue Club
is to be organized there soon, and will
undoubtedly have a large membership.
the matter in charge. and declare that
they are going to see it pushed through.
At Sunset a strong party sentiment
exists, and undoubtedly large increase
will be made in the vote this year.
Mr.. Ulmer spent one day there last
week, and is to make a return visit
shortly.
o. w. Outland put in busy week
visiting Cresson, Tolar, Blufdale, Ste
phenvil1e, Dublin and Proctor. A good
number of vote pledges were secured,
and something over $1OO added to the
1908 fund. At Dublin, Bluffdale and
To1ar there are good prospects of good
clubs being organized.
The 1908 fund now amounts to about
$500, pledged by a little over 200
friends. It is hoped to run the amount
considerably over the $1,000 mark by
the first of February.
The Rev. J. B. DAILY is to thoroughly
organize the fifth senatorial district.
This district, composed of Collin and
Hunt counties, is one of the best in
the state There is no doubt that scores
of clubs can be organized and hundreds
of votes secured for the national ticket,

men to the legislature pledged to the

Gaping the climax of absurdity
the newspaper story quotes what
purports TO b. an extract from Colo

What Colonel Ingersol really said
