SUPT. HAMILTON
SURE OF VICTORY
DECLARES THAT TEMPERANCE
FORCES WILL ELECT A LAW
AND ORDER MAJORITY.

Superintendent Hamilton, of the
Tennessee Anti-Saloon League, was in
the city Friday in the interest of the
cause of temperance and law enforce
ment and to complete arrangements
for the coming of Mrs. Mary Harris
Armour to the city on Sunday. Mr..
Hamilton reports that the sentiment
for law enforcement is growing rap
idly all over the state and he ex-
pressed the greatest confidence in
electing a legislature that would not
take any backward step on the tenn
perance issue.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1910-03-11


appear that prohibition doesn't prohIb-
il. That Is their game I know Of
my own knowledge that in kansas
they hired men TO go into the state
and rent rooms and bring booze there.
Then they went out on the streets
and hunted up men and got them to
come in and take a drink. And when
these fellows went staggering out on
the street they had other men to point
them out and say, Just look there
how prohibition prohibits" They win
do the same thing in Tennessee.
Don't let them fool you"
But the feature Of Mrs Armor's adj
dress that attracted most attention
was the appeal that she made to vot-
ers Of Maury county to elect men to
the Legislature who are known prohi-
bitionists. The call of the Anti-Sa-
loon League says that you must elect
men who stand for prohibition. But
you must do more than that. You
must elect men whom you know you
can trust to the very last. If you
don't do this you will turn the State
back over to the saloon and the sa-
loon crowd and your vote will go to-
ward perpetuating the infamous liquor
traffic, with all of its debauchery.
At the conclusion of her address
Mrs. Armor asked for pledges. She
asked for subscriptions of $500 to be
paid in thirty days.
Put me down for $25.0O." said Esq.
Clayton Church, almost before Mrs.
Armor had concluded her appeal
Thank God it is beginning at the
church." said Mrs. Armor quickly.
Change R. C. Churchs subscrip-
ton from $500 to $780," said Esq.
Clayton Church moment or two later,
and Mrs. Armor said still more about
the Church" giving
Then came other responses of SIS,
and when Mrs. Armor dropped down
to $500 nearly three hundred dollars
had been subscribed.
There were number of $500 SUBJ
scriptions and a number of $1,000 sub
scriptions.
When subscriptions of $500 were
called for two or three gentlemen held
up their hands quickly. Then the
most touching incident of the day oc-
Cured Put down Ned Carmack for
$780," said voice that yet bore much
of its childish treble.
THE Baraccas did you say" said
Mrs. Armor, who had not caught the
words.
mo, Ned Carmack.' chimed in two
or three, as they directed Mrs. Ar
mor's attention to Ned, who was sit
ting to the extreme right of the build
ing, and but a few seats from the
front

ed.
When | heard that Senator Car
mack had fallen in the streets of

will go the same way. But If

lecturer then added The incident
was touching in the extreme Tears
iimmed many eyes, and more than one
storing man was seen to wipe away
tear Subscriptions poured in and
when Mrs. Armor announced that but
seven more were needed to make $500
here was no pause until the full
amount had been secured. Hats were
passed and $74.56 was taken up. An
additional $500 contribution was
hen made privately, leaving the total
amount subscribed 5000. Of this sum
goes to the local w. G. T. U.
to the State w. G. r. u. and
