crs who will appear at the various scs-
sions. 1t will be noted that practically
all are experts in some particular
phase OF the prohibition and enforce
ment problem. There will be the
minimum of thcorizing relative to
what should be done and maximum
OF definite information as to how ac-
tual results may be secured.
The first day, which has been des-
ignated as legislative day, will bring
to the convention members of the
state legislature and others who un-
derstand and can explain problems in
connection with the nomination and
election OF legislative officials in sym
pathy with law enforcement.
On the second day which will be
law enforcement day, officials daily
and actively engaged in the work OF
enforcing prohibition will tell of their
methods and will explain how all
forces can cooperate actively in sup
port OF the Eighteenth Amendment.
Pinchot Tickets Going Fast
Advance calls for tickets to the
Pinchot mass meeting on February s
make it safe to predict that the entire
supply will be exhausted before the
convention opens. Every day public
interest in the fighting governor OF
Pennsylvania is becoming more KEEN
Pinchot's work in his own state as
well as his clear-ringing utterances in
support OF enforcement have made
friends OF prohibition look forward to
the great address he is expected to de
liver at Orchestra Hall. Governor
Pinchot's standing as statesman and
his reputation as an orator has been
recognized by one OF the great radio
stations in Chicago Arrangements
are being perfected with KYW to
broadcast Governor Pinchot's address
direct from Orchestra Hall.

Saloon League have been invited TO
the twenty-ffth anniversary banquet
on the first night OF the convention.
The big feature OF the anniversary
celebration will be the address OF DIR.

Anti-Saloon League thirty years ago.
At the recent convention al Washing
ton Dir. Russell was ono of the most
interesting and forccfu OF all the
great leaders who appeared on the
program. Illinois delegates will be
gratihed to know that the toastmastcr

traordinary ability, has been engaged

Auditorium and the Pinchot mass
meeting at Orchestra Hall.

All churches. Sunday schools, Young
Peoples Societies, Temperance and
law enforcement organizations arc
urged to send names OF delegates who
will represent them at the state con
vention. Address Convention Depart
ment, Anti Saloon League OF Illinois,

churches and all organizations inter

be wonderful meeting from the
standpoint OF genuine pleasure and en-
tertainment. But its great value will
be in the influence it will have on pro-
hibition enforcement in Chicago and
Illinois. The call to come to the con-
vention is the greatest call TO Chris
