which the club was formed
He stated the campaign had lust start

the laws were strictly enforced that
the law and order league was composed
of men, not boys; that the moral sup

county was behind it, and that they were
in earnest in unfolding the laws of the
state and the wishes of the majority of
the people. He called upon the authori-
ties to take such action as was necessary
to suppress any attempt at the violation
of the law, and that so far as was In his
