TEMPERANCE ASSOCIATIONS OF

PREVENT BACKWARD STEP.
FOUR CAMPAIGNS TO
COMBAT BOOZE INTERESTS
First Will Ssek to Prevent e.enact-
rnsnt Of Mulet Law or Similar Meas
ure To Oppose Submission Of
Amendment at Special Election
Campaign Against 5ootlessins.

Des Moines, Nov. IA triple ALI
ance to fight liquor in Iowa has been
formed by the Business Mems Temper
ance Association, the Iowa Prohibition
Amendment League and the Iowa An
ti-Saloon League.
Plans for the amalgamation of the
three anti-liquor bodies have been
completed, and announcement of the
terms Of association will probably be
made this week.
The arrangements for the merger
have been in the hands of W. j. Pix
ington, president Of the Business Men 5
Temperance Association.
Four Campaigns Planned.
Four great campaigns are planned
by the organizers Of the new associa-
ton, which will probably be known as
the Consolidated Temperance Associa-
ton of Iowa They are:
To prevent the re-enactment of the
mulct law or any similar law by the
next legislature.
To prevent legislation providing for
a special election on the prohib;tory
amendment in case it is passed by the
legislature.
To combat bootlegging.
To insure the passage of the prohib-
tory amendment in two years at gen.
eral election.
The organization plans 10 operate on
the funds now being given to tine three
organizations. The Business Mems AS
ISOLATION, which has paid its way thru
sale Of stocks. will notify its members.

and the other two organizations will
notify their financial supporters to
give their support to the new organi-
zation- =
Say Critical Time Is Now.
''The association feels that now Is
the most critical time in the history Of
prohibition in Iowa." one Of the organ
izers said TT will fight any move
ment to re-enact the mulct law or any
similar law or the passage Of liquor
laws to go into effect in case Of the
rejectment of the prohibitory amend
ment."
The association also feels that provi-
sion for special election on the pro-
hibitory amendment would well nigh
insure It's defeat. The officers declare
that in case Of special election the wet
states near Jowa, Illinois. Missouri and
Minnesota, viii "colonize' the state
with voters previous to the election.
and these, together with the light vote
the single issue will bring out in some
of the dry" farming districts will
prove disastrous to the cause
The amalgamation also has the pur-
pose Of doing away with duplication in
the temperance work IN the state and
will lower the cost Of carrying on the
work, thus allowing a greater amount
TO be accomplished.
A secretary for the triple alliance
will be chosen in few days. IL is ex-
pected. He win have offices in Des
Moines.

Storm Hats Corn Picking.

Special to Times -Repuollcan.
Eldora, Nov. ia storm OF rain,
snow and sleet, unusual at this season
Of the year In this section, visited
Hardin county Saturday The storm
practically brought to standstill the
harvesting of corn. In many instances
farmers have from forty to sixty acres
Another bad feature Is the fact that
over part of the county corn is down
to a considerable extent, thus making
the cereal much more difficult to gather
now that the snow has fallen.
