HARD AT WORK ON
 TW0-CENT RATE
But Morris M. Cohn Thinks They Will In The Trial
 At St. Paul, Aug. 31.

"The work of preparing the States side of the application for an injunction to knock out the two cent rate and the freight tariff, :" said Morris M Cohn, lead ing attorney for the state yester- day evening, ''is very slow and
 tedious work, and We are having to work day and night to make a good showing. The railroads took the very last minute of the time given them by Judge Van Davent to file their affidavits. They were filed Saturday, which
 kept us from getting at them un- til Monday. It took us two days more to get through reading them. and now we are doing our very best to answer them. Our rate expert, Guy M. Swain, of the Railroad Commission, has de- voted some time to preparing all answer to these affidavits, and l think his answer is d very com plete and able one. We are ser iously handicapped in getting the evidence we would like to have as we cannot get any rail- road men to assist us. They have the testimony We would like to have, and are keeping 1t. Occasionally we find man who is willing to tell Us something, but they are not as numerous as the leaves on the trees. We are having to depend on other sources for information and l think we will do very well in St.
 Paul when the case comes up for trial the last Gay of the month. "

biCtlS isdSh, htSs l'. 'uf ID. Tucker, national committeeman. has returned from his tourt over Southern Arkansas, soliciting funds for the Bryan campaign. He reports a remarkable success Tn that portion of the state to the other sections and boost the fund along.
 It is the rate of 5000 a year, the voters of Arkansas are in- creasing. This has been the rate of increase for the past ten years and Auditor Moore contem- plates no greater increase fer 1909. For this reason when placing an order for the printing of the poll tax blanks to be used in the state next year, 260, GOO were ordered when only 225. 900 were secured last year for use in 1908. The receipts will be print ed by the Wilson Printing Co. of this city: and will be delivered Dec. 1, when they will be sent out over the state.

TO IOWA PRoHIBITIoNIsTs
State Chairman Calls Attention to Highly I'm
portant Facts That Demand Notice

To Iowa PRoHIBITIoNISTS The new primary
law will be tried for the first time in Iowa
the second day Of June. Let Prohibitionists take
advantage of its provisions and prepare for the
greatest state convention the party has seen.
To have a state convention we must have
county conventions, at which delegates ap
pointed for the state convention No delegate
can be seated at the state convention who has
not been appointed by the county convention,
provided for by the primary law, and the date
set for holding it at II a. m. on Saturday, June
90
No county convention be held, unless there
are some delegates elected in some of the pre-
cincts in the county, and a majority of such dele
gates are in attendance. This makes the neces-
sity clear for us to attend the primary election
and write the name of some member of our
party in the primary ballot for delegate to the
county convention
Every county in the state should be able to
hold county convention, at which they should
elect county chairman, secretary and treasurer
and delegates to the state convention. 1t is the
duty of each Prohbitionist to see that his pre-
cinct is represented at the county convention, if
to do so he must vote for himself
The Iowa Prohibitionists at the state conven-
ton called for June 90 and "a should again step
out into the lmelight and take their place at the
head of the great Prohibition movement.

SEATTLE, WASH, May 24-(Special correspond

hibition committee, and the great mass meetings
that are being addressed all over the state by

Spokane last week, local option plank was
adopted, and in the Democratic state convention
which succeeded it in the same city, state Pro-
hibition amendment plank was adopted, after the
hottest fight in the history of Democratic politics
in this state. The plank was put into the ma
jority report of the platform committee, and the
minority motion to strike it out was beaten by
$50 to 1863
The Hon. w. H. Pemberton of Beingham,
delegate from Whatcomb county and one of the
delegates at large to- the national Democratic
convention, who introduced the Prohibition plank
makes the public statement that the representa-
tives of the Brewers Association who were on
the ground at the state convention offered to put
$5OO,OoO into the campaign fund of the Demo
cratic party if the plank was eliminated from the
platform While the Democratic plank says
Spurious liquors." its trainers declare it was in
tended to cover everything sold by the saloon,
and was adopted in good faith, as the result of
the overwhelming number of young in the
convention. 1t is evident that the people of
Washington will be satisfied with nothing short
of simon pure Prohibition.
At Everett last night Towards third meeting
packed the opera house, and added $14s to the
state campaign in addition to the over $500 CON
tributed in the two meetings on Sunday. Big
meetings were held at Bellingham and Blaine
Monday and Tuesday nights, with $500 receipts.
At the twenty meetings which Mr.. Howard
has addressed up to the present time, more than
$4,000 has been subscribed for the Prohibition
state committee.
