 arrive in time to close the afternoon session. If not he willt speak at the
 evening meeting at 7:3o. Hon. J. Frank Hanley,- born in a log cabin in Illinois, is chairman of the executive committee of the Flying Squadron and his legislative experience as well long fight against liquor makes him a most able. speaker.

The east seems to be walk ing up. however ,and it is our hope to see east and west with Joined hands battling for a common and glorious cause. the defeat of the liquor traffic and all it represents.
 Tt took 75 years to free the slaves and they never would have been, freed If the federal constitution had not been amended. For years the sepa- rate states fought lotteries until every state in the Union had abolished them except Louisiana.
