One battler for statewide prohibi

hght 20 make the whole country
dry. He is 8. 9. Kresge. who was
the chairman OF the finance com
mittee In the campaign for the state
constitution amendment TO drive
out liquor. He has pledged $4,000
for a dry nation he announced Sun.
dry afternoon in the Woodward-avs.
Baptist church.
A stirring speech by Capt Rich
mond Pearson Hobson, the hero OF
the Merrimac. elected Mr.. Kresge's
declaration. Altho he predicted
that the Anti-Saloon league forces
he represents would call on the
sixty -nfth congress. converting next
week. TO abolish the liquor traffic as
a war measure. he urged his hear
ers to help supply the sinews for
a fveyear campaign.
Il have given $4,000 this year
for the national campaign OF the
ADti-Saloon league" said Mr. Kres.
&c. And have pledged $4,000 for
each OF the coming i've years. Peo-
pie ask me n the business or man
aging 1876 stores doesn't keep me
busy. My business also is TO see
that the devilish saloon and liquor
trafnc Is wiped out of the nation"
He declared that he had sent out
100000 letters last month for the
ADti-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 10
crush the liquor traffic as a war
measure II could accomplish this
thru the interstate commerce com
mission and its taxing powers. he
declared.

people is beneath US" he said. II
