FLORIDA AETI.SaLOOE LEAGUE.


prohibition amendment unpopular by
crlticIsing the Anti-saloon League. Our
good brother tells us that the League is
nothing but foreign corporation that
has designs on the control of Florida
politics. He lays special stress on the
act that thare are in Florida few repre-
sentstives Of the National Anti-Saloon
League and denOunCes these men as con-
scisncelcss emissaries. ETC., etc. 1t is true
that the National Anti-Ssloon League
has staff of organizers in Florida, but
there is not enough of them to hold all
the Offices and we do not believe the
large number of nigh standing citizens
who have joined in the organization
known as the Florida Anti-Saloon
League had any hidden motive for doing
so. We have before us q list Of the Off
GERS Of the organization and it contains
the names Of good men in all walks of
life. A great many Of them, if not all,
are gentlemen of such high standing in
their respective communities that it
would be altogether unnecessary for
them TO ADOPT any sort of subterfuge if
they wanted to hold Office. They could
go straight to the point with their
friends and neighbors and stand 9 rea-
sonable show, at least, of getting what
they wanted. Indeed, Brother Caldwell,
a scanning of the list reveals the names
Of several gentlemen who have already
been honored with political preferment
by their people. For your edification
and for the ediicstion of others the list
is hereto appended:
