In the statement. which accompa-
MED the report, Chairman Haw says:
Thousands have been led into
Christian experience and embraced
higher ideals of citizenship. A major
ity of the voters have said the saloon
must go. 1t is now up to the people
who love law, order and decency to
stand together and work together for
a clean city. free from the degrading
influence of the saloon. Let every
man stand by the Law and Order
league and help work out a condition
In our city in which all our people will
rejoice The saloon has no place in
a civilized community. 1t takes from
Ottumwa, out of the pockets of the
poor and weak, more money every
month for beer and whisky and sends
It TO Milwaukee and elsewhere than
the entire expense of the Sunday
meetings. The saloon never saved a
soul: never made a happy home: new
er gave to young man a good name
or character. 1t is a destructive pes
thence from beginning to end. Why
do men engage in it, If the saloon men
OF Ottumwa would turn their capital
ard ability into legitimate lines OF
trade and business, the change for
them and our city would be marvel
Gus and satisfactory; they would be
glad TO ride on the water agon.
Gentlemen, We invite you to come with
Us on one condition. that you cease
forever to sell drink to our boys and
neighbors, for the good people OF
ottumwa and Iowa are opposed to the
saloon and will fight it to finish with.
