A federation of temperance and prohibitory groups unites churches, youth societies, and law enforcement with state bodies to push re submission of a prohibitory amendment to the state constitution and to curb interstate shipment of intoxicants. The Des Moines convention of January 29 1907 adopted federation articles and elected a five member at large committee led by D A Lee Centerville.
