State Marshal Clubs Meet.
As serving means of moral influ.
ence on members of the legislature,
before whom they are to appear ask.
ing radical reforms in the laws regard.
ing state enforcement of the mulct
law. and also the resubmissiou to the
voters of Iowa of the prohibitory
amendment to the state constitution,
two notable conventions began SEES.
sions in Dc.s Moines Yesterday and Will
continue until Wednesday evening of
this week.
The first of these conventions In i'm.
pcrtance, because 1t is the one which
la most likely to accomplish some.
thing with the lawmaking body, is
that of the State Marshal clubs At
the meeting of the members held last
night, notable addresses were delivered
on law enforcement by H. w. Bell,
state vice president OF the marshal
clubs; A. G. Rankin, the father Of the
movement and others. II was announ.
ced that the legislative committee >of
the organization would press before
the legislature its bill for the creation
OF a state constabulary TO enforce the
LIQUOR laws. The basis of the bill to
he presented will bel the measure
drawn nv Senator George w. Durham
of Manchester. which came near being
enacted into law two wears ago. The
convention ofsicers insist that the time
has come when, BY creation OF q state
marshal force, the commonwealth
shall provide the means for enforce.
ment of laws against illegal sale of
LIQUORS and not leave the burden to
rest ON the shoulders u private citi.
zens. The feature of the organization
is that though lis membership is made
nm of the most jealous temperance
workers in the state. It does not seek
10 create-new and more stringent laws
in regard to the LIQUOR franc; and does
not ask for prohibition Of the trafflc
1t only asks that proper means be
created for the enforcement of laws
