the trip this way during the past
three months, are now coming this
way, and are loud in thteir praises OF
the new route.
The following article appeared in

The First Prohibition Congressman

For the first time in its history Con-
gress is to have a member who has been
elected as an avOwed Prohibitionist.
The person who is to enjoy this unique
distinction is Charles H. Randall, Con-
gressman-elect from the Ninth Cali
fornla district, who serves notice that
one of his first ACTS will be to introduce
a bill making it unlawful for liquor to
be imported, manufactured, sold or
given away.
Heretofore we have had members
classified as Republicans, Democrats,
Progressives, Independents, Free
Silverites, Greenbackers and what not,
but never as Prohibitionists. 1t ILL
ustrates what may be accomplished by
sticking at it everlasting. The Prohib-
Zionist, whatever one may think of
doctrines, have had the courag 3 of their
convictions. They have led forlorn
hopes year after year, but have never
lost courage, and now they have finally
sent a member to Congress. -Lnquier.
California defeated prohibition at the
last election, because of the large crop
of grapes grown which are turned in
to wine.
