ANTI SALOON LEAGUE TO HAVE
MEETING At INDIANAPOLIS SOON

worked out by the brewers. and it is
said that they are doing a nice bust
ness among the clubs, in spite of the
local option law. Thus, dry counties are
not dry If they contain any number of
clubs. Each member pays an initia
tion fee of one dollar and dues of fifty
cents a month, who go to pay the ex
pense of maintaining the club. This
is the plan that has baffled the anti
sa loon league officers and attorneys
They admit that it cannot be stopped
under the present law They do eN-
pect however that before long these
clubs viii begin violating the law by
selling drinks to their members, and
the minute they do this they will be
come law violators and the league will
pounce upon them and put them out Of
business. The league officials say the
liquor business is always reckless and
that it becomes careless. This is what
they expect it to do in this case 1t is
pointed out. too that if the league
should withdraw a number of its best
workers from the field out in the state
and brign them to Indianapolis it
would leave those sections unguarded.
and the blind tiger business would Ger
tainly thrive. Moreover. it would give
the clubs chance to sell liquor they
probably would not do if they knew
they We're under close surveillance. So
il was believed to be best TO keep the
workers out in the field. and let the
state headquarters run along about as
they have been running
While the anti-saloon league is look
ing after the blind tiger business ii is
also paying attention to the plan TO
bring about statewide prohibition. One
of the officials made the statement yes
terday that the league is seeking to
strengthen itself throughout the state
$50 as to be able at the next election
elect a majority Of the members 81
tile legislature. He says the league
WIN favor and support only those mon
who stand for statewide prohibition
and he expects the league to be able
to elect a sufficient number to carry
through a statewide prohibition IaW
In the meantime however THE rIineI-
pal attention Of the league viii be de-
voted to the battle with tie blind tiger
and the social club.

TINES REAU
AZ TIE STATE CAPITAL.

n
indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 19.-Some
time ago there was under consideration
by the state officials of the Anti
Saloon Leage a plan TO bring TO Indi
annapolis number of the best workers
in the cause from the various parts of
the state, in order to add to the
strength of the state organization at
the headquarters. 1t was believed that
by concentrating the forces in such a
manner better results could be obtain
ed than by the present method Of main
tanning separate workers in all parts
of the state, 1t was believed that the
workers would thus become assistants
to each other. and that there would
be a multiplicity of counsel that would
be of great value.
Just who among the workers it was
proposed to bring to indianapolis has
never been stated. but it is said that
quite a list was made. But the plan
has been dropped and the work will
go right ahead just as it has been
going in the past. each district and
each county working for itself. all,
however. under the central jurisdiction
and supervision of the state organiza-
ton.
The Anti-Saloon League has much on
its hands just now. The fact that so
many Of the counties of the state have
become dry by remonstrance or local
option eelction has not caused the
league to let UP on its crusade for
moment. True. the hot summer wealth
er has caused let down in the strenu-
Gus effort that was being made some
