for a dry nation% he announced Sun
day afternoon In the Woodward-ave.

A stirring speech by Capt. Rich

the MerrimAc. elected Mr.. Kresge's
declaration. Altho he predicted
that the AntiSaloon league forces
he represents would call on the
slKty-ilfth congress, converting next
week. to abolish the liquor trafic as
war measure. he urged his hear
els TO help supply the sinews for
five-year campaign.
II have given $4,000 this year
for the national campaign of the
Apti-Saloon league" said Mr. Kres-
&C. And have pledged $4,000 for
each of the coming Ave years. Peo-
pie ask me II the business OF man
aging 1856 stores doesn't keep me
busy. My business also is TO see
that the deviiish saloon and liquor
trafflc IL wiped out OF the nation"
He declared that he had sent out
100000 letters last month for the
Anti-Saloon league. and during the
state dry campaign had given three
solid months OF his time.
Capt. Hobson said that pending
the ratification OF a constitutional
amendment by states which would
be voted for by congress. the pow
ers OF congress should be used TO
crush the liquor trafic as a war
measure. II could accomplish this
thru the interstate commerce com
