MILWAUKEE. wis, Oct. 2s-Ur.
gent recommendation that the Ma
tional Woman's Christian Temperance
Union cooperate with other woma1's
organizations for laws for national
! prohibition were made by Lillian NJ
N. stevens, national president at the
thirty seventh annual convention
here, today.
! other Recommendations by Miss
Stevens were:
That VIC continue with renewed
energy to appeal to Congress for law
that will furnish provision for the
protection of prohibition territory
from the notification q it's Laws
through interstate shipment OF liz
uor.
That we ask for legislation to pre-
vent the use of the United States
mails for the purpose of advertising
alcoholic beverages.
That we continue to oppose efforts
for the restoration of the sale Of
liquor in the army canteen or in any
place from which 1T has been BAN
ished.
That we work for a law that Will
forbid issuing tax receipts for liz
uor sold within five miles of any
army post or naval station
That we use our utmost influence
to secure laws for the suppression Of
the white slave traffic.
That we continue our efforts to Sc
cure an amendment to the United
States constitution forever prohibits
ing polygauly.
The speech OF the president was
review OF all the accomplishments
during the year. After commencing
the German emperor for his temper
ance address to the naval cadets,
praising Prot. Wiley for his pure fotSs
campaign and condemning Secretary
wilson for addressing the Interna-
tional Brewers, the speaker told ip
detail the fight by the union to retain
the prohfbitory law in Maine.
..From the beginning, she said, I'VE
realized that one of he chief danger2
Law in the fact that the people Of
Maine did not know the dangers Of
the licensed saloon. They had no
conception of what a saloon really
- and they underestimate the powe-
Of the liquor forces in the land. The
success Of prohibition in Maine had
caused many people to fall into
state of Indifference with little real
izat!on of DE benefits they were en-
ioying.
Il trust this convention will endorse
the proposition contained in the proc
lamation of September 10 and will
work for it's leading provision-Na-
tional Constitutional Prohibition.
Upon the converting of Congress
CONGRESSMAN Hobson will introduce
n bill for submitting an amendmen:
for national constitutional prohibition

hearty active support. l trust this
measure will receive the cooperation
OF the Men and Religion Forward
Movement and that they will pro-
claim national prohibition funda-
mental remedy for the political, In
dustrial and social unrest of the day
