that the fight was against this
evil institution licensed by tn,
State. There they concentrated
their forces and leyeled THEN
guns. And right at that point
they have been hammering the
ants without mercy. and they
have exposed the hollow preten-
sion of the enemy touching their
plea for local self-government.
Every dry county was invaded
and our pro sentiment stirred
until We have now gotten our
people aroused and in full swing.
We have one hundred and sixty
six of these dry counties and
fifty-eight Of the remaining coun-
ties dry except in one or two
places. The great bulk of the
population of Texas is in these
dry and partially dry counties.
In these we have done our most
systematic work, and we will get
the full strength of our senti.
ment But we have not neglec-
ted the south and southwest por.
tons Of the State. We have
gone into the stronghold Of the
enemy and opened a hot cam.
paign. and our friends down that
way say they will surprise the
ants with their dry votes.
Therefore, our side Of the cam.
palgn is most encouraging. We
make no claims, but the ind.
cations point TO victory. If We
take care Of our interests at the
polls We will win. The ants are
making no great boasts now.
They are frightened. The clouds
are hanging ominously above
them and they are alarmed.
They have lowered their figures
IN their columns, and they are
sounding notes Of distress.
Their speakers are not drawing
crowds. and their literature is
falling on waste places IN our
dry sections.
Therefore, let every worker on
our side redouble his energy and
put forth all reserved strength
IN the wind up Of the campaign.
We have not an hour. neither a
vote 10 lose. Let every energy
be taxed and let all resources be
brought into play. Let every
man who can touch his neighbor
get out into the field and do his
best See TO It that at each yot- .
Ing box We have two pro super
ylsors and a clerk 10 stay con-
stantly within the voting booth /

Fraud must be stopped and a
pure ballot must be- the order OF

CAMPAIGN NEARING CLOSE

The campaign for Statewide
prohibition is approaching its
close. In the beginning, some
two months ago, the ants seem,
ed to have the advantage in their
organization and in their ability
to mobolize their forces and set
up claims of success. They
boosted of their certain success
by a large majority. They had
been looking for the fight for
two years, and they were ready
for it just as soon as the Legis-
lature submitted the question to
a vote Of the people. Hence,
they had no trouble to collect a
great throng at their State meet
ing in Fort Worth and to sound
their note Of coming victory.
On the other hand, the prohi-
bitionists were slow to start and
slower TO organize. They feared
"a long-drawn-out campaign,
knowing that it would require
superhuman effort TO sustain in
terest throughout three or four
months. Not until the ants
made their big demonstration at
Fort Worth did our people buckle
on the harness and get down 10
business. From that event they
got busy and began to get their
forces in line. Each county be-
gan TO organize. and our splen-
did chairman, Col. Thos. II. Ball.
at once took steps TO get his hand
thoroughly on the situation.
The organization soon began 20
take on shape, and the workers
volunteered for service. They
did not have 10 be conscripted.
neither did they need the en-.
enlargement Of remuneration.
From motives of pure patriotism
and humanity they flung them
selves upon the altar from one
end of Texas 10 the other.
The effort of the ants was 10
shift the issue Of the battle from
the saloon 10 local self-goyern-
ment; and they relied on their
ability with this siren song 10
lull the prohibitionists in the
local option counties into sleep;
and at the same time they began
TO pat forth every effort 10 arouse
their own support in the dry and
the wet territory Of the State.
They hired their workers and put
them in the field for 80 much coin.
The pro forces at once attacked
the position Of the ants and
swung the issue back 10 the
saloon and pointed out the fact

of worship. He goes so for as
to call some Of the ministers by
name and to stigmatize them
with his vituperation and SIAN
der. He has put himself in the
attitude of a common scold, a
blatant ranter and an accuser Of
those who oppose his course.
He has, in fact, ceased to be the
| Governor Of all Texas, and be-
come the booster of the liquor
traffic and the friend and asso-
ciate Of the liquor environments.
He stands for all that associates
itself with the licensed saloon
business and does it openly,
boldly and with no sense Of
shame.
Texas has never faced such q
humiliating spectacle before,
and has never had such cause
for humbIing it head under the
blush of shame and mortifca-
ton. Why has he adopted this
course? For only four years
ago he expressed himself in
favor of Statewide prohibition,
but denounced local option. Why
this change? It can only be ac-
counted for on the ground of
low politics. He feels that he
has alienated the masses Of the
better element in Texas, and in
order TO hold his high position
he is forced to look to the crowd
that centers its influence and
power around the liquor business
and its predatory combination;
and for this reason he is going
his full length TO lead the
saloons out of the jaws of de-
feat. He feels that the success
Of saloons will make his political
success, and he has identified his
political fortunes with those Of
the licensed liquor traffic. He
has not hesitated 20 throw the
moral consideration Of the ques-
ton overheard, reverse his posi-
ton on the question Of prohi-
bitlon and trample the claims Of
his church under his feet. We
are sorrow for him, for the State
over which he temporarily pre-
sides and the thousands of
Methodists whom he misrepre-
sents and humiliates by his in
deienSlDle conduct.
We're he not a member of the
Methodist church the Advocate
would not take the trouble 10
call attention 10 his moral der
ilictions, but he is a part Of our
common religious household, and
hence the modification and pain
his course is producing. We are
grieved that the church is held
responsible for his moral and
religious attitude and that il
seems TO be utterly helpless TO
rid Itself Of such a responsibility.
But we assume 10 say that in
no single particular does Cover

odist church in his relation to the
saloon question. The church has
nothing in common with him on
that subject. His name is mere
ly on the church roll, but his
life, his conduct and his habits
are no part of the church life
of Texas. The Methodist church
and the saloons have nothing of
kindred interest, and Governor
Colquitt instead of representing
his church stands side by side
with the men who are devoting
their energy, their talent and
their time to the promotion of the
liquor interests. And the fact
that he brazenlv boasts Of his
membership in the church and
often declares that he is preach
ing better gospel than its
political ministers" and has
more religion than the most of
them, even dragging the name
of his pastor into his political
harangues, only adds to the
of his church. O

SERIOUS BLOW
 10 THE TRUSTS  Judge Carpenter Orders 10 Beef Packers to Trial
 In Chicago.
THEY ADMIT DEFEAT
No TechnicaLities Will Save Them Has No Bearing on Guilt Or
 Innocence.
Chicagoa H., May lo-Judge

Chicago, H., May lo.-Jthdge George A. Carpenter yesterday swept aside the technical defense of the ten indicted beef packers and ordered them to trail, charged with the crime of conspiring to control the price el fresh meat in violation of the Sher- man Anti-Trust Act. In everything demurrers, the court held that the indictments were definite and sut1i- cient and if sustained in trail would warrant conviction-prison sentences follow. The decision was a serious blow to the defense in every Trust cast in the United States Court and by the same token spells disaster for all combinations which through technicalities attempt to escape the letter of the Federal statutes.
 There was not syllable in the lengthy decision that offered conso- lation to the defense Attorneys for the packers admitted practical defeat and will prepare for trial. An effort will be made to bring the case into court before the summer vacation.
 The decision was based on the broad assumption that the Sherman Act is constitutional that violation of the spirit of the act is a violation in fact and that arguments as tc the punct,aticrs of indictments are technicalities; e thi case have nc hearing on the guilt CT innocence et tin, defendants
