so that we can wage a fair fight against
the reactionaries. The more votes east
by the liberals at the coming election
the harder it will be for the prohi-
bitionists to find sufficient names the
next time to allow the possibility to
make Chicago dry. Therefore we appeal
to all our voters to vote, also in those
wards where no election fight is on and
where no recommendations have been
made by US. Vote under all eircum-
stances.

DR.. CLARK SPEAKS AT POWDER
PLANT.

About three thousand workmen out
at the Governments powder plant
got O message from a real gospel
minister last Sunday night. The ser
vices were held under the auspices
of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation and Rev. DIR. Clark was in
vited to speak by Prof. Gilbert, one
of the Secretaries of the Y. M. G. A.
The services were held in the even
ing and at the opening not more than
three hundred were in attendance,
but when the speaker began to deliv-
er the message and to depict the suf-
ferings of the Cross of Calvary and
then enlarged upon the beauty there
was in. the religion of the Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ, it got the ear of
the hundreds men in and about
the camp and before the speaker was
twenty minutes in the progress of
his address the hut was crowded to
overflow and they were standing on
the outside and a conservative esti-
mate is that fully three thousand
were benefited by his remarks. Rev.
DR.. Clark has been looked upon as
the leading minister Of Nashville,
pastoring the largest Baptist Church
in the city. He has been an ardent
supporter of the Y. M. G. A. work
and was one of the big subscribers
when the campaign was on for the
purchase of the property.
