GREAT CAMPAIGN
BEING PLANNED
MEN AND RELIGION TEAM MAY BE
SENT TO RICHMOND FOR
EIGHT DAYS STAY.
WORK DONE BY EXPERTS
"a PRACTICAL COMBINATION OF
THE CHRISTIAN MASCULINE
FORCES OF NORTH
AMERICA,
WORK DONE BY EXPERTS

A Men and Religion" campaign
will be held in Richmond some time
during the early part OF the coming
year II plans now being considered by
some OF the church workers OF Rich
mond are carried to successful con-
summation.
The matter will be brought to the
attention OF the Ministerial Union at
the meeting OF that body In January.
1t has come before the union once be-
fore. but the time was not regarded
as ripe for a movement Of such d.
mansions. Now, however, it Is be-
lieved that there Is no especial reason
why the association should not look
with favor on the undertaking. "A
practical combination Of the Christian
masculine forces Of North American"
IS a brief but comprehensive definition
OF the Men and Religion Forward
Movement.
The plan OF campaign is to send a
team OF experts to the city where it
has been decided to conduct a cam
paign. The men composing the team
are men chosen from different parts
of their ability in one particular line
OF work.
Little Rock has lately concluded a
campaign similar to the one that Is
proposed for Richmond and in an tn
terview recently given out by Mayor
Charles e. Taylor Of that city he says:
The close OF the eight-day cam
paign OF the Men and Religion For
ward Movement does not mark the
close of this work in Little Rock,
but rather the beginning. The eight
day meeting have served to inform
and awaken the citizens Of Little Rock
to the practical duties that surround
them. Men have been shown the
specific needs and possible remedies
The dignity OF practical work has been
added both to the church and the
civic relations.
This work win be carried on in
this growing city, where new and
larger community problems are con-
stantly arising awith the rapid de-
velopment OF our city.
1T Is my conviction that This cam
paiEn OF the Men and Religion For
ward Movement has done much to
place our civic standards ON a higher
plane, and from this wifi come bet
ter and nobler political destiny for
this city"
From Kalamazoo. Mich, comes AL
30 a message which shows what a
Men and Religion campaign can ac-
complish:
THE most helpful and significant
wave OF religion which has ever swept
this city has passed IN the Men and
Religion Forward Movement eight
day campaign Just ended"

says. based his appeal on the face
that he desired to go to Arizona and
that his people were able to send him
there. Believing that this would
help the man TO regain his health
the Governor made his parole condi-

James, editor Of the Danyille Regis

Governor Mann's friends declare
that he has been subjected to undue
criticism for granting the request.

LIQUOR SHIPMENTS
SHOW A DECLINE
OPENING OF MAID ORDER
HOUSES IN "NE.WIY WET
CITIES AFFECTS LOCAL
TRADE.

Wholesale liquor dealers and mail
order houses in Richmond are not
doing the business this year that
was done last Christmastime.
1t Is likely. from reports from many
Of the shippers. that their business
will be cut down many thousands
this year. The reduction is due to
large extent to the fact that since
las tyear several cities In Virginia
which were dry" formerly have
gone into the wet" ranks. and have
since the elections. which placed
business in their own netghborhoods.
thereby curtailing the business which
formerly came to Richmond.
There are shipping houses In Pc
tersburg, stanton. Bristol. Danville
ana Roanoke. For several years
Richmond had the trade now. to a
large extent. controlled BY several Of
the cities named.
While there 10 . noticeable de-
crease in the business here. 1t n not
confined to any one or two dealers.
but Il felt by all Of them AZ a re-
suit. while the business as a whole
is smaller than heretofore. the indt-
vidual dealers claim that there Is
little difference. although that dif-
ference Is against them.
a representative OF the Eirginian
talked with a number OF the shippers
yesterday. He found them all op-
timistic, although they felt that the
opposition now being experienced
through the development Of tho ship
ping business in other Virginia cities
tended to cut their business
Tho mail order houses arc the
greatest losers. The wholesalers and
dealers who do a large local jug ana
bottle business declare that their
business this year Is greater than II
was last year.
They attribute This to the fact that
there IL moro money In the city this
year than last. and they also feel
that the increase In population has
something tn do with II.
The large number OF men here
temporarily at work on the large
building in course OF construction
are one Of the causes for the great
er demand for liquids
The freight and express Offices do
not indicate as large shipments as
formerly The officials at these places
also attribute this dropping of to the
opening OF mail order houses in other
cities.
