Pew. Willtsie Martin Of Boise, who
took for his subject Lincoln and

has a thorough knowledge of the
character and life of Lincoln, thru
extensive research and study, and is
also able to present this knowledge
in an attractive way to an audience,
He said Lincoln, after the civil war
was actually declared. was anything
but pacificist, and the union was
saved to us by the energetic and
aggressive work of such statesmen
as Lincoln, and in spite of the cow
ardly policy Of the near-copperheads
who. during the war, would have al
lowed a compromise and would have
thus permitted several stars to have
been taken from our flag. Lincoln
also brought to his support the besi
men in the nation, irrespective oi
party, and in this has furnished q
worthy and splendid eXamrle to oul
President to-day.

Chicago to Vote on Dry Issue
at Specia! Election April

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 28-Anti-
saloon workers worked flercely today
preparing for the grand climax which
will come Tuesday. They are urging
with parades. public meetings. fam
ing signs and personal work that Chi
cago be given dry cleaning April 2.
A score of dry" orators have
poured forth their arguments and
their pleas that Chicago point the way
for the nation. Down near the lake
shore Billy Sunday has been at work
the better part Of a month fighting,
denouncing and delivering all his
phillipics--verbal and acrobatic-
against booze. ~
There are 100000 voters in Chi
over 100000 would be- at the polls
Tuesday. Philip Yarrow. superinten-
dent of the Chicago Dry federation.
claimed today that $4,000 votes
would win the election and make Chi
cago dry at the end Of thirty days.
The Chicago federation has had
the assistance of the National Anti
saloon league which brought in its
trained workers from over the state,
fitted them into the organization of
the city federation in the effort to
get out the vote. The dry Campaign
has been vigorous. House to house
polling to get out the vote, circulars,
posters with striking phrases and
above all oratory have been put to
use. The 100000 students of the city
were appealed to personally; young
peoples workers arranged meetings
and organized working societies.
Children responded to appeals with
parades on different dates in various
sections Of the city Every artifice
known to skilled workers has been
employed.
The other side has not campaigned
SO openly. Yet the first registration
report showed that the percentage
OF wtes registering was greater than
that of the drys. The first poll book
examined showed eighteen out 6f
thirty-two known drys had registered.
In the same book fifteen out of six
teen known vets had attended to this
preliminary to voting. The wet side
has used little publicity but it is ac-
customed to the fight and among the
leaders there Is little worry apparent.

in the neighborhood of $1,000, which
more than paid the balance due on
