The Prohibitionists of Logan and Warren counties plan conventions. Logan at Russellsville on Monday July 1 and Warren at Bowling Green on Monday August 8. State Organizer Wm Likens will attend both events. Rev Eugene B Kuntz leads Logan, W C Curd heads Warren. Both leaders are active speakers urging large attendance.
Prohibitionists warn that the country may face a great task in years ahead. A speaker asked fifteen bright young men if they knew John G Wooley. none recalled him. Some Prohibitionists have not joined the state convention yet and fear a flood of literature will overwhelm the public. The committee pledges to do its part to enlighten the people.
A rough, fragmentary line praises shared effort and the state cause, singling out Goo Buffain and the idea of balancing pleasure with duty while benefiting both individuals and the greater good.
At a recent state organizer meeting a concerted effort by the old parties to cut down his crowd was noted. The two old parties know their life depends on keeping the public ignorant on political lines.
A strong push urges sending a robust delegation to Buffalo to avoid labeling this year as a missed opportunity. Officials stress the need for capable representatives to capitalize on potential outcomes and showcase leadership.
Notes from Likens recount a Prohibition convention in Barr en county on June 17 and a week of political speaking across Simpson county. C.T. Morrison was nominated and praised. Franklin hosts Brevard as a dedicated Prohibitionist with wife and children. Meetings spread to Sulphur Springs, Logan, Warren, Hardin and ends with plans to attend Buffalo fair and National Conference. Brevard and wife contribute with lectures and singing at country churches as funds rise toward a $1,000 state goal.
Chas. Brevard of Simpson County has accepted an invitation to address a Fourth of July Prohibition rally in Allen County.
A terse statement argues that repealing the anti-canteen law would dominate the political agenda, urging that if such action would wake people up, let it proceed. The remark reflects heated sentiment toward party policy and civil restrictions.
