A SAMPLE ILLINOIS CONVENTION
How the Prairie State Is Being Shaken by the
Tanning Stanley Combination

TAYLoRvrLLE, ILLINOIS, January 24-(Special
correspondence -Christian county has had a
wonderful waking up by Tanning and Stanley
assisted Unexpectedly by State Chairman Alonzo
E. Wilson, who dropped in to see how things
were getting along. The county convention held
Saturday afternoon was the largest known in
this county for some years. Tanning and Stanley
missed connections but State Chairman Wilson
jumped into the breach and saved the day. S.
M. Sheldon of Sharpsburg elected chair
man, and there is no better man in the state
who is more devoted to the Prohibition cause
The usual business was transacted and then State
Chairman Wilson made plea for the Prohibi-
ton party that will long be remembered in this
town. A large number of old party voters were
present They gave the best of attention and seemed
deeply interested. That votes were made for
the party is the feeling of local leaders. Mr.
Wilson raised for the county committee county
fund of eighty-fve dollars

dist camp-meeting, got busy with a hot prelude
of thirty minutes and during all of that time,
the crowd was laughing, applauding or cheering.
Captain Stanley is regular dynamo and knows
how to get a crowd thoroughly stirred up. He
is unlike any other man in Prohibition work in
America. Mr.. Fanning's speech was a strong
presentation of Prohibition party doctrine and
was heartily approved. 1t was vote making
address Mr. Tanning is logical, eloquent and
credit to the Prohibition party. At the close of
the meeting, an offering of one hundred and FIVE
dollars was given for state work. 1t was stated
that the speakers would be in town over Sunday
and would be glad and willing to hold meetings.
Immediately, several pastors arranged for full
day.
Yesterday was surely big day. Captain STAN
ley held forth at the Christian church in the
morning before large audience. At the union
meeting in the afternoon at the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, large crowd assembled and Fan
ming and Stanley were received with great en-
thusiasm Contributions were taken for state
work. Among the subscribers was boy nine
years old, who pledged three dollars, all his own
money and after the meeting stated that he
wanted Prohibition paper. All points in speech
and song were heartily applauded Old Prohibi-
tionists were enthused and encouraged and votes

reused the other ants. For the first
few days they were willing to sun
themselves on the hill just outside
their door. AS soon as they had
re-entered their door they had the
guards close it with a bit of earth
or wood so that no one could find
the entrance.
But about two weeks later there
was great commotion in the camp.
The entire village was moving to
its summer home.
Red ants are slave owners. That
is, they have slaves to do all their
tunneling, while even the poor lit
tie fellows, who are smaller and
lighter in color than their wealthy
owners, have to feed these lazy
masters.
Chief Warrior had several slaves.
so when the moving began he had
many trips to make. For, you see,
every master has to roll each slave
into a ball and carry 1t to the sum-
mer home. The more slaves, the
more trips.
On one of these trips dog
scared Chief Warrior into drop
ping his slave and running away.
The savel. we would suppose. would
be glad of his freedom. But no! He
was so frightened he didn't know
where to go and was very glad
when his master came back and
after rolling him up carried him to
the new house.

"There's not an airship to be

shining in the moonlight, laced
with the wakes of boats. Far

to CLEAN something of his mood
