nois an unusual opportunity to elect members
of the legislature 1t is proposed that the state
committee shall exercise close supervision OF
legislative work in the state for the purpose OF
securing the nomination of the strongest possible
candidates, of forming the most perfect organi-
ton and raising additional campaign funds for
the legislative fights An organizer and field
worker is to be placed in each county in the
state, 1O2 in ALL who will organize the counties
by precincts, enroll the supporters of our legis-
lative candidates, irrespective of party allat1on
and raise funds for legislative work in the dis
trict By means of these organizers and the pre-
cinct legislative committees which they will FORM
thorough canvass of the state will be made
and Prohibition party representatives will shake
hands with more than two-thirds of the voters in
the state.
At least five, and probably more, additional
Prohibition members of the legislature would
have been elected in 1906 had the party been prop
erly organized and had the state committee had
sufficient funds. This year by the plan just
adopted every precinct in every district will be
fully organized by the middle of September and
the organization thus effected will be capable of
carrying on a campaign the like of which has
never been seen in Prohibition politics.
Not content with measures for exertng the
full strength of the party, the committee also
authorized the raising of special legislative
fund of $1O,OOO to be used exclusively in those
districts where the conditions are most favorable
for the election of the Prohibition candidates.
More than forty of the one hundred and two
field workers have already been found The re-
naming number will be engaged as soon as pos
sible This large body of workers is to be thor
oughly trained for the work, largely by means
of a correspondence course in practical politics,
conducted by Mr.. Blake
Stated in few words, the object of the cam
paign will be to develop and call into play the
full strength of the Prohibitionists of illinois,
The idea is that the way to win is to believe we
can win. People will respond to large plans
more readily than the small ones. It is fair to
assume that the way to win is to put up better,
bigger and effective campaign than the
other fellows. Thus the committee expects to
beat the old party politicians at their own game

A. E. WILSON,
State Chairman.

Recognizing that this is prohibition year" in
Illinois the state executive committee at is re-
cent session adopted plans for aggressive,
systematic canvass of the state in the interest
of the Prohibition candidates for the legislature.
The scheme is to elect enough Prohibitionists
to change the political complexion of the gen
eral assembly and assure to the citizens of Hi
nois some measure of real government by the
people
The plans for this work. broad and practical,
were laid before the committee by Edward E.
Blake, former editor of The Home Defender.
After their adoption Mr. Blake was unanimously
selected to take charge of the legislative work
of the state committee.
AS practical political organizer Mr.. Blake
has few equals. He is strong in detail work,
thoroughly business-like and leve-headed. He
is young man of tremendous force, strong char
acter and knows how to do politics. Mr. Blake
has spent most of his life in Chicago, has been
a Prohibitionist for many years and at one time
business manager of the New Voice Com
pany and later secretary of the Cook county COM
mittee Mr.. Blake is an active member of the
Baptist church and his grandfather, the Rev.
Archibald Kenyon, was one of the pioneer work
ers in Illinois. He will be very able assistant
under State Chairman Wilson, who has his hands
more than full with the many duties of his office
The plan of campaign is based on the fact
that the cumulative system for members of the
legislature and the present favorable state of
public sentiment give the Prohibitionists of ILL

Manager Cook Wins Thrilling Seven
Inning Contest with Two-Bagger Z
After Two Are Down.

Two squads of Islanders faced each
other on the field of battle yesterday
afternoon and while not the largest
crowd on record was there enough
noise was made to make one think
that the baseball season is surely on
hand. Manager Cook had hard time
picking the two teams and it was not
until the last minute that it was def
|Gitely settled and then several changes
were made during the game. 1t was
just a little too chilly for the players
10 get thoroughly warmed up to their
work and the playing was bit rough
on the edges but not any more than
should be expected at this time OF
the year.
The pitchers were the chief COM
planners as they had the most work
to do. They were all little wild.
Cain said the plate looked to be about
the size of a peanut and Powers
|agreed that it was not much bigger
than that. The hitting was so light
that it was impossible to get any kind
of line on the outfielders, but the
irfielders were kept fairly busy and
Mcbride and Detwiler showed up well
on the third corner of the diamond.
Vogel on first was a little off color
and did not show up as well as was
expected of him. Gilmore looks pretty
good behind the bat and it is very
probable that he will be kept.
Frank Murphy and Christy Wilson
showed up in uniform and took part
| in the game. Howard was also ON
hand but he was given the indicator
job, in which capacity he served very
lacceptably.
Manager Cook Shows EN- How.
Cook divided his bunch into two
teams and the managers side took
| the field first. The first inning ended
with no runs for either side, but in
the second Manager Cooks bunch
gathered in four of the needful by
means of a two Dagger off the boss
| bat and several wide throws. The
others came back strong, however, and
at the end of the next inning the
score was to 3. In the fourth Cook s
team added another run following
which their opponents tied the score
with two TALES in the sixth. In the
seventh inning with two gone, Cook
| lined out another two Dagger and won
| the game for his team.
All the pitchers were used and all
did well, only eight hits being made
| in all. The tabulated score was as
| follows:

Royal Kronoberg Band.-The roper
toire of the Royal Kronoberg Regiment
band, which will appear in grand con-
cert at the Moline theater April "a, is
exceptionally large, varied and cosmo-
politan. 1t embraces, of course, a
large number of the military marches
of Scandinavia, Germany and America,
of which the old Swedish marches are
of particular interest. Among the lat
ter are found the Biorneborgian march,
Finnish Cavalry march from the Thir-
ty Years war, and several other regi-
mental marches of the most glorious
antiquity and history. Among the
more recent marches are Soederman's
famous Swedish Wedding march and
Prince Wilhelm march, not to forget
the Parade march of the Royal Krono-
bergians themselves. The repertoire
embraces all of Sousa's marches.
Among operate selections are found
the overture to William Tell, by Ros-
SIM; fantasia from Norma by Bel
lini, and of Wagner numbers, selec-
tons from Lohengrin, and the En-
trance of the Gods into Walhalla from
Rheingeld.
Naturally the nature and temryera-
ment of Sweden are mirrored in the
music of the Kronobergians. 4 Thus
they play an admirable medley of
Swedish folk songs by Sjoeberg. tunes
from the Swedish Archipelago (Skar.
gardslater), arranged BY Director
Hoegberg. medley OF RslIman's songs
from the 18th century, national dances
by Soederman, and Swedish quartets
arranged for military band. Every
concert will be- opened with "Hear Us,
Svea,' and CLOSED with the Swedish
army Tapto. The other countries of
the north will also be nobly repre-.
sented. Thus there are among the
finest selections, Finlandis, by Sibe.

the north Europe. and of Grieg com.
positions, Thanksgiving, arranged for

the Peer Gynt suite. Of waltzes are
found large number of the very lat

Honeymoon TraiI."-In Honey
moon Trail" Frank Adams, Will
Hough and Joseph Howard seem to
have combined the best of their eff

full of all the successful musical COM
edies produced by the La Sale theater
management. The piece has just been
presented on the La Sale boards and
has created a thrill among those who
maintained that there was nothing new
in musical comedy. Honeymoon
Trail appears as the most original
and unique Offering yet staged at the
La Sale, which is synonymous with
saying that it is beyond question the

the advent of baked bean drummer

tive mind and the inventions of his
imagination disturb the tranquility of
The rest cure, while his pursuit of the
land of the daughter of rival bean
nagnate breaks up the even tenor OF

handled, and makes of the piece a
'arcical satire of the divorce evil.
