LARGE AUDIENCE TO
EX-GOVERNOR GLENN

~ large crowd assembled on Sunday
night i'll the M. f. Church to hear ex-
Governor Glenn of North Carolina
plead the Temperance cause.
Governor Glenn made strong al.
peal to every voter to fight for the
right on the coming election day.
He vividly pictured life in his own
State before and after prohibition, cit
ing instances from his own broad ex-
perience-of scenes with which he
came in touch, as Governor OF his
State
In the course of his address he read
figures from the State of Kansas, given
over the name Of the governor Of that
State. which were mighty arguments
IN behalf OF the cause to which Mr..
Glenn has dedicated himself, and which
entirely silenced the argument of fnan-
c'al loss to any community.
The speaker believed that the child
has been born who will see the liduor
traffic driven from the land. The West
is uprising, the South is in the fight
certain States in the East are arrang-
ing themselves on the battle-line. That
means a Congress with a majority on
the side OF driving the traffic from the
la'lu In such measures lie the hope
OF redemption Of the States such as
New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania
Mr.G lem is carrying challenge all

that occurred when he delivered that
III New Jersey short time ago. In
the halls of legislature the forces were
before f1im-on one side the women,
representatives from the churches OF
the land, pleading for the referendum
and lair chance; on the other side
the brewers, distillers, saloon-l,eepers,
prepared to uphold their claim. The
speaker turned to the latter and said:
VIII one of you come, place your hand
on this book, allow the clerk to ad-
the oath, and saw that the sale
OF liquor in our land makes it better
purer and more filed with the love of
God! Is any one among you who will
put his hand on this book and saw it

the county possessed one church. no
good schools, three little cotton factor

men. Today the county has many
churches whose spires point heaven

setts IN the manufacture of cotton cloth.
In answer to the argument that pro-
hibltory laws harm business, Mr.. Glenn
asked why the people making that
claim do not employ drinking men to
run their business. Why does not the
railroad employ drinking men for fire.

and at the same time to the till of the
merchant as he buys clothing for his
child?
A certain letter from wholesale
lquor dealer, was quoted, asking a
TREND for recommendation Of Young
man tor certain position, but insist
ing on one point--he must not touch
a drop.
Governor Glenn is typical orator
OF the old South, imbued with the en-
of the new regime.
Backed by well-arranged array of
hgures, imbued with a personal mag
netism characteristic of those living
south of the Mason and Dixon line. he
made an ilnpassoned appeal to all vot-
ers to go to the polls on election day
after solemn deliberation of the
question
WHICH is RIGHT?
