Mr.. j. n. Ellis,
Beralair, Miss,
Dear Sir:
We are herewith enclosing you
three separate petitions which
we know you will be as much in
terested in as ourselves. This
means to you that you can secure
more than one quart of Whiskey
at any time you may desire
same, also means that if you are
fond of fishing or hunting you
can do so without being modest
ed, also gives the AZ newspapers
in the State of Mississippi, the
privilege of taking whiskey adds.
If not asking too much of you
we will ask you to get as many,
good white farmers or merchants
to sign the petitions as possible.
Same would have to be legal
voters. The extra slip which is
called an affidavit after having
the page filled up you can take
this to a Notary Public and have
same sworn to by yourself, or
whoever gets up these names as
being registered voters of Mis-
sissippi.
If there is any expense at
tached to the same we will glad
ly reimburse you. We only have
to secure six thousand names to
be presented, but we want as
many as possible, and are posi-
tive the way we are working we
will get between fifty and sixty
thousand. The sooner we can
get these names up the quicker
we can get action; in other
words, the day we present this
to the Attorney General of Jack
son, Miss, the next day we will
be in position to ship as we have
heretofore.
Thanking you for promptness
in this matter, we are,

Letter From Anti-Saloon League
Jackson, Miss. ,
Oct. 10, 1916.

Oct. 10, 1916.
Rev. E. H. Rock,
Vardaman, Miss,
Dear Brother:
By order of the Headquarters
Committee of the Mississippi
Anti-Saloon League, | am ad-
dressing you this communication.
This morning the Supreme Court
handed down a decision which
requires our anti-liquor and anti
advertising laws to be submitted
to a vote of the people in the
general election in November.
The situation is grave. 1t calls
for the best thought and action
on the part of our citizens. The
time is short, and quick action is
imperative. The committee feel
that the preachers in the State
can save the day by proper lead
ership; but that indifference will
surely lose it. The committee
earnestly crave two things at the
hands of the ministry: First, to
keep things red-hot on this sub
iect from now till the election,
both in and out of the pulpit.
Second, that every pastor in the
State raise some money from his
people and send at once to the
undersigned at Jackson, Missis-
sippi, making the contribution as
large as possible.
Your committee feel that, if
you will heed their call, we can
save the day. So we, as your
servants and and watchmen on
the walls, put the matter square
ly up to you.
Please let us hear from you at
the earliest possible moment.
Delay at this juncture is danger
Gus; it might be fatal. The Lea
que is bound to have money to
meet this emergency, or it can
not meet it. We await the
action of the pastors of our
State.
Please read this letter to your
congregation and get your town
or county paper to print the
same.
The time in which we have to
work is so short that this office,
with no money at its command,
cannot have a letter typewriter
to each preacher and prominent
prohibitionist, and beg that you
give this printed letter the same
consideration you would one
written in my own hand.
Truly,
T. J. Bailey,
Superintendent.
