 TO CITIZENS.

Little Rock, July BOA determn- led and systematic campaign is to be made for the adoption of the state wide prohibition bill at the Septem- Der election. This has just been de- clded upon at conference of repre- sentatives of temperance organiza- tions, at which a central state advis- tory committee was organized for the purpose of securing the cooperation of all the friends of temperance.
 Bishop Warren A. Chandler of At lanta, Ga, who is to hold the M. E. church, south, conferences in Arkan- sas this year, has rendered his ser vices to the campaign committee for one week, and announcement will be made of his itinerary later. The fol- lowing address has been issued by the committee:
 To All Friends of Temperance in Ar kansas:
 In view of the fact that the forces of temperance within this state shall have the opportunity of expressing their will for statewide prohibition at the forthcoming election, it is import ant that a campaign of information and stimulation be vigorously enter ed upon at once. To this end num- Der of conferences have been held by the friends of such a movement and the entire situation in the state has been carefully considered. The ulti- mate result of these conferences is a plan for practical cooperation of all the temperance forces within the state so that our line of battle against our common foe-the organ i i2ed liquor power, which is buttress- ed by avarice, selfshness and greed within our fair commonweath-sh be encouragingly prophetic of the victory deserved. Out of this plan of cooperation a representative advis- ory committee has been selected for the purpose of securing the best re- suits in the campaign.
 In the line of our duty in the prem ises, we call upon all those within the state who believe in the guilt of the organized traffic in liquor and who desire to register their will against | it's iniquities to enter into this cam paign in every way which will insure victory for the moral forces of Ar ! kansas. Permit nothing to over shadow your interest in this cause. Plan to have the most aggressive part in the work, as well as the larg- est joy of our certain victory.
 In view of the brief time left for the campaign, "get busy" at once with your county and organize it aft CT the most sensible fashion so as to secure the best results. The advisory committee has no purpose to dictate the plan you shall use, but it is anx- ious that you work any plan which will line up your people for the de- thronement of the liquor power. The various temperance forces within the state will not be hampered in any way in carrying out their plans. The largest liberty will be accorded each one under this plan of cooperation and hot campaign must be put on. Speakers will be furnished by these various societies, and these W i'll be utilized to the best advantage
 We therefore call upon every one who can and will give time to the work of agitation and organization to let it be known to any member of this advisory committee as to when and where you can most conveniently give that time, and how long the commit tee can count on you. There are many capable persons in every part of the state who will need to be used in the pushing of the work, also all communities wanting speakers are re- quested to send their applications to this committee. There must be no shirking of duty. The enemy is alert and has a splendid organization, and it behooves us to match him at every point In a fair field with no favor, Arkansas is overwhelmingly for state wide prohibition It stands us in need to see the voter and to see that he understands how to vote on these questions. Can We count on you to do your full duty?
 The state needs to be sowed down with the best information at hand. We therefore call upon every paper in the state, secular or religious, that ] will onen its columns to the scatter
