written in technical terms, suitable for
such scholars.
The Anti-Saloon League of Amer
lea has added "The Voters Informa-
ton Bureau" to its educational work.
1t is the aim of this department to
furnish the latest scientific facts re-
garding alcohol in simple language,
suitable for those who left school in
the grades, and who do not attend
meetings or conventions where these
questions are discussed, or who do
not associate with those who have CIV
en- thought to this question.
A course of study on the following
topics has been prepared:
What is Alcohol?
Effect of Alcohol on the Brain.
Effect of Alcohol on Circulation.
Effect of Alcohol on the Nerves.
Effect of Alcohol on Character.
Effect of Alcohol on Citizenship.
Effect of Alcohol on Child-Life.
Effect of Alcohol on Heredity.
Effect of Alcohol on Disease.
Effect of Alcohol on Sex Life.
Effect of Alcohol on Government
Effect of Alcohol on Spiritual Life.
These lessons are short and easily
read and understood. Short leaflets
are prepared on each lesson. Each
maroon who e+,,d;ae +ba ,,,,o,o1e &C ax,
pected to select four voters to whom
he will talk each month and give one
of the short leaflets. A package con-
tanning ten manuals and short leaflets
to supply forty voters each month
sells for $I.oo. The sharp truths of
each lesson are put in large posters.
Three for each month, or thirty-six
posters, also sell for $I.oo.
These truths should be studied by
all who are opposed to the sale and
manufacture of alcoholic drinks. When
the truth is fully understood it should
be passed on to some voter who does
not have a chance to learn that which
would help him to do his duty against
the liquor traffic. The posters are
very valuable to put in factories,
barber shops and all places where
men gather.
A systematic study of the manuals,
distribution of the leaflets and careful
placing of the posters for one year
before an election is called, would
develop an intelligent understanding
of this grave question that the false
statements of "the trade" could not
change.

tributing to poverty, diverting wages

Come After State Convention

Newport, June 1.-The Republican
State Committee have selected as
temporary chairmen of the Republi-
can state convention, Hon. Frederick
G. Fleetwood of Morrisville and as
chairman of the committee on resolu-
tons, Hon Luther p. johnson of
Randolph The committee have ask
ed Mr. Johnson to prepare a tenta-
tive platform to be offered for publ
cation to all of the newspapers in the
state before the convention, in order
that there may be an opportunity for
suggestions, criticisms and discus
sions of the various matters proposed
and the committeel will ask the full
committee on resolutions, to be COM
posed of one member selected from
each county, to meet with Mr.. John
son the evening of June 10Th at Bur
lington, at which meeting all sugges-
tons made by members of the Repub-
lican party will be duly considered
and full and free discussion had OF
all matters which may be suggested
as proper to be considered by the
convention as the platform of the Re
publican party of Vermont.
The Republican state committee
very much desire that the various
county conventions should not be
held until after the Republican state
convention in order that the platform
adopted by the state convention may
be properly considered and acted up
on by the county conventions. Some
members of the past legislature have
claimed that they had no knowledge
of party pledges made by the Repub
lican state convention and did not
feel in duty bound to assist in carry
ing out those pledges. and the Repub
lican state committee desire to do all
possible to bring the matter OF party
principles and party platform to the
attention of the Republican voters be
fore the various conventions, so that
there may be no chance for misunder
standing in the coming campaign.
