From Illinois Headquarters Bullet,

From Illinois Headquarters Bulletin
Mr. Edward E Blake, legislative superinten-
dent, is spending a week so out of the office
classes for those who to be in legislative
work during the campaign His schedule is as
follows:
May 80, Upland, Ind; June 1, Eureka, ILL.,;
June 2, Monmouth, ILL.,; June 8, Upper Alton,
ILL.,; June 4, Greenville ILL.,; June 5, Ewing, ILL.,;
June g. Westfe1d ILL.,
The main object of this visit is, of course, to
train the college who going out into the
campaign but in addition to these many other
workers are coming to these college towns to
meet Mr.. Blake for conference.
The organizers who already in the field
are doing we'll, and the prospects look brighter
every day. Several conferences being held
each week by the Hon. Clay F. Gaumer and
the Hon. John R. Golden, but as yet sufficient
reports have not been received for publication.
Mr.. Blake expects to return to the office when
his schedule is completed and then the fight is
on in earnest.
Many organizers will take the field in
a very few days now, colleges are beginning
to close for this year. Every Prohlbitlonst
should take hold of the work and help In his
own district, as far as he is able, cooperate with
Mr.. Blake and the local organizers.
If we all work hard for success, the outcome
tons.
An error was made in the announcement of
legislative conferences last week. The confer
ence of Freeport is to be held on June 10 and
that at Rockford on June H.

HARTMAN STOOD FIRM
Prohibition Candidate Under Pressure Refuses
to Be Fooled by Old Party Frauds

LocKPoRr, N. Y.-May 25-(Special CORE
spondence)- 1.-The special election recently held in
this district for state senator was decidedly
interesting affair
The Prohibitionists nominated DR.. J. A. Hart
man, the treasurer of the state committee and
in their platform pledged him to support Gov
ernor Hughes in his fight against the race track
gamblers. The Republican camp was divided
hopelessly divided-and after much jockeying the
Republican leaders agreed to endorse Hartman
for the sake of securing the support of the
state senate which the governor needs for his
anti gambling projects. Then the Democrats
played clever trick by announcing that they
would not put any candidate in the field This
fooled the Republicans, as it was intended to,
and they deserted Hartman and made their

New York STATE PROHIBITION HEADQUARTERS
OswEGo, N. Y, June State Chairman Pitts
arrived home on Saturday. after a two weeks
trip to western New York and left this morn
ing for Poughkeepsie where he is attending
the Duchess county convention During his trip
of thirteen days he delivered twenty-three adj
dresses, attended six county conventions, held
many conferences, and personally answered by
hand over 200 letters and dictated to stenogra
piers over $50 more. Mr. Pitts only averaged
four hours sleep per night but says he was never
in better health, and enjoys it.
He delivered address at the theater in
Franklinville last week Saturday night, delivered
five addresses the next day, went to Salamanca
and assisted in the Cattaraugus county conven-
ton, again speaking in the evening
Starting at 80 the next morning. he went
on to Perry and spoke at night. The next
day he attended the Wyoming county conven-
ton at Warsaw and delivered an address that
evening at Wyoming
Thursday he went to Batavia and drove to
Elba and spoke in the evening. Friday he spoke
twice in the court house at Batavia and assisted
in the county convention
During the trip Mr., Pitts secured about $500
in cash and close to 5000 additional in pledges
and received an ovation from the Prohibitionists
wherever he went
Upon his arrival home he found $50 more
letters to be answered.
The county conventions of Cattaraugus Wvo-
ming and Genesee counties were extremely cheer
ing. At the Cattaraugus convention at Sala-
manca more than three times the usual number
of delegates present, $11O was raised and
divided between state and county work and every
person present, not a subscriber for The Ma
tional Prohibitonist gave his subscription to
Chairman Pitts. Mr.. G.. S. Palmer was elected
county chairman to succeed Chairman p A.
Markham, who has done magnificent work
The Wyoming convention at Warsaw was
larger than usual, in large part owing to the
good work of Chairman Wayman, who was re-
elected At the Genesee convention at Batavia
MIR. Lucius Atwater, one of the most prom-
nent citizens, elected county chairman and
will have the enthusiastic support of the whole
county. The Genesee county committee pledged
$50 to the state committee

nomination; and at the last moment the Demo
Gratis nominated man hostile to Hughes and
anti gambling.
The Republicans thereupon began to beseech
Hartman to withdraw from the contest, and
brought to bear upon him all kinds of pressure,
threatening social and business boycott if
he should not accede to their demands. Even

far enough to get a full view of the situation,
united in urging Dr. Hartman to withdraw.
This he refused to do and stood fast for the
principles of his party and let the two corrupt
old parties fight it out.
DR.. Hartman's frmness in the face of the pres
that was brought to bear upon him is highly
deserving of praise.

THE PARTY'S ACCOMPLISHMENT

Indiana Convention
We are sometimes tainted with the question,
''What have you ever done to put down the sa-
loon?" We are pioneers and glad to see new
settlers coming in to fill up. We color bear
ers who have mounted the bulwarks of the enc
my and planted the Stars and Stripes there for
ever. 1t is the flag of the free unfurled and we
beckon the army to come forward. We cannot
be called back by any blare of trumpets or loud
bayng the cold trail. We have seen all local
option-squatter sovereignty subterfuges tried
out to a finish a long time ago, including
the "half loaf better than no bread" schemes
which had not even enough crumbs to feed the
geese. Thank you all, good neighbors we have
had our breakfast of all the schemes which were
designed more to the party in partnership
than to us from the plague of rum The
old dodge of license is exactly old the state

be the best which has ever been held in Equality.
There were many things to contend against
the opposition of old party officials, and the fact
that the mines have been shut down for several
weeks tended to work against successful assem-
bly, In spite Of this, however, the crowds which
turned out to the Chautauqua entertainments
were very large The talent took we'll from the

of work for some time and money was scarce,
