Calling to the South.
1.-THE Prohibition forces are calling
now to the South to finish the Jop.
Here, where Prohibition was Graded,
is the place to set the pace and blaze
the way for the balance Of the nation
and the world.

see that they are not disappointed
They see what we have accomplished
here and they are looking to us to-
show them the way.
ITO successfully combat the efforts
of the liquor interest at home, to heed
the call for help from China and the

paign for funds, with it's purposes
clearly understood and the pressing
necessity for its success obvious, will
receive the active support of large
percentage Of the people of the South.

man from whose employees the temp

moved, and it also vitality concerns
the mothers of this country, whose
sons, now growing to manhood, will
never know the debasing influence of
the saloon"
