THE NATIONAL PRoHIB1T1oN1sr
Part Played by Prohibition Paper in Holding
the Empire State

OsWEGo, New York, November 6-(Special
correspondence Ut is conceded by everyone here
that the splendid success of the Prohibition party
in meeting the Hughes stampede and saving the
partys place upon the official ballot and even
making handsome gain in the face of what looks
hike conspiracy of the liquor interests and the
so-called reform forces to wipe the party out of
existence is in very large part due to The No
tional Pyohibitionist
The regular subscription list of the paper in
this state is large. In addition to this an enor-
nous number of short-term subscribers was Sc
cured so that practically every Prohibitionist in
the state, whose name and address is known, re-
ceived the paper at least during the closing month
of the campaign. Scores of letters have come to
headquarters, telling that the writers had been
persuaded to vote for Hughes and perhaps even
to vote the whole Republican ticket but that after
receiving two or three numbers of The National
ProfabitioniSt they back to their allegiance
and voted the Prohibition ticket
While there is honor enough to go all around,
the workers accord very large share of credit for
the victory to The National PYohibitioniSt.

London RUNWAY service, says that
Londoners now desire to be strap
hangers. The English law forbids cars
or buses to carry more passengers
than there are seats for, so the Eng

full bus after full bus goes by, loses
many valuable minutes.
