For example, there is Sam Teagar.

Then there is Rev. Joseph Pope and
other dry leaders. They would like to
have the demon rum chased out of the
state right away.
There are the Equity men wanting
the state to appropriate large sums
to buy wheat and build terminal ele-

every topic under consideration.
Probably, too. there will be plenty

doorkeepers and cloak room attendants
