should be relieved of their duties,
said Mr.. Wilson.
/ Mr.. Wilson declared that the best
evidence that liquor is opposed is
the fact that either party, whether
wet or dry, are for temperance and
against the saloon. The speaker be-
came a little hoarse and called for
a glass of water, emphasizing the
fact that it must be water. The best
moonshine is the color of water, but
most of the liquor secured nowadays
is of a cloudy nature, declared Mr..
Wilson. The plan is to organize
fact finding and law supporting
committee who are to secure bOni-
fide evidence of existing conditions
in a section. The same conditions
exist in all liquor dives, as a gen
eral thing they are filthy; the liquor
sellers are crooks and in many
cases evidence is secured from a
patron who has been victimiZed.
The price of liquor is now two or
three times higher then before pro-
hibition and only eighty out of 1000
cases by actual test in the Pitts
burgh area were genuine and on this
same basis about one liquor joint
out of every hundred in Delaware
dispenses liquor. There are hun
dreds of men as dry as myself and
one of the chief reasons is the fact
they have a fear of becoming blind
by partaking of the bootleg liquor.
The committee has three duties to
perform: Ascertain the facts, ac-
quaint the people with conditions
and throw the spotlight of moral
suasion on officers not doing their
jobs.
Mr.. Wilson then read a resolu-
ton. H. j. Ramsdell moved that the !
resolution be adopted and J. c.
Messner seconded the motion. Rev.
E. H. Collins selected a nominating
committee as follows: H. ]. Rams
dell, Mrs. A. V. Satterfeld, Mrs. Ell !

Senator Wilbur l.. Jacobs, Repre-
sentative J. Harry Raughley, Mag
istrate w. y. Cahall and Mayor N.
c. Adams were among some of the
State and town officials present at
the meeting. Rev. j. e. Parker, pas
tor of the FELTON, NJ. f. Church, made
the closing prayer and Rev. Reese, u
retired NJ. L. minister, of Frederica,
the benedictiOn.
AT the close of the mass meeting |.
the nominating committee assemb-
led at the front of the building and
proceeded to organize. Mrs. Ella D.
Cordrey was selected for chairman,
with Mrs. Joseph Bringhurst as sec
retary. 1t is planned to secure a
of fifty who will sub
scribe to the resolution as adopted.
As soon as this list can be gotten
together another meeting will be
3alled when Mr.. Wilson will explain
he plans further.
