Illinois W. c. T. T. Headquarters
Chicago, Nov 2G, 1909: Dear Com
rades In view Of the fact that that
the horrible assault and murder Of
Miss Anna Pelly Of Cairo, was due pri-
marily to the saloon and to the spirit
of lawIessness which is fostered by
the saloon element, and as she was
a member of the w c. T. L. and a
contest speaker at our state conven-
ton at Murphysboro, and because of
the heroic effort she made in defense
of her honor, we urge that a memo
rial service be held for Miss Pelly in
every union of our state with appro-
pirate program giving due emphasis
to the need of statewide prohibition
and better law enforcement for the
protection of our girls and women
aginst such atrocious crimes. Study
the laws regarding the slave traffic
among women and girls.
