bition. “I imagine this nonsense will
bring a smile of amused pity to the
business men of Brownwood, Abilene,
Amarillo, Stamford, and a hundred
of other prosperous prohibition towns.
But there is a small tribe of money-
mad business misfits at Temple that

This letter and a deluge of others like it have been coming to the Anti-Saloon League since, through the Home &
State, we have invited those persons to send for literature who are willing to pass it out where it would do the most good.
The letters came in so thick and fast that our shelves were emptied before half the orders were filled. There are hundreds
of people who have time and are disposed to place our temperance literature in the hands of men who need it. Such a sow-
ing of good seed would bring a sure harvest of votes in 1911. —
What a wonderful opportunity this is for men and women who have money to help us renew our supply of literature
so that we can fill the thousands of orders that are coming in to us. . Our Temperance Tracts are as follows:
Ex-Governor Joseph W. Folk, in a
recent address on “Ideals of Civic
Righteousness,” at Boulder, Colo., de-
clared “In all the large cities there is
a boss or set of bosses—usually men
of strong mentality, but feeble moral-
ity. They generally have behind them
the public service corporations and
the saloon. They are the connecting
links between the criminal rich and
the criminal poor.”
“Hell’s Half Acre” is the harvest.
“The saloon is doomed.”
Prohibition carried in Aransas Coun-
ty and we have three white counties
bathed by the waters of the Gulf of
Mexico, Matagorda, Brazoria and
Aransas. There are but five wet coun-
ties that touch our northern border
from Arkansas to Colorado. There
are now 157 dry counties.
and loud-mouthed rantings to work
up a considerable following. They
have been keeping up a strong or-
ganization for months, and have paid
the poll taxes for all the sorry ne-
groes and thriftless, worthless white
trash in the county and will poll a
strong vote. The fight of the pros is
to get out a full vote. If a vote of
6500 is polled, the pros will win; if a
smaller vote, the antis may win. The
election is tomorrow (Saturday). You
will know the results possibly by
the time you are reading this.

time to the campaign.

George R. Stuart’s Roundup and Stump Digger are well worth a dollar, and the Anti-Saloon League Year Book, 258
pages, bristling with facts, is worth $5.00 to anybody who wants to be thoroughly informed upon the present movement
against the Saloon. Wet and dry maps of all the States are given therein and statistical facts that would take years of
reading nd research to gain. One of each of the above 20 books and pamphlets will cost us nearly $1.00, yet as soon as they
are reprinted, we are going to send all the 20—one of each—to every person who shall send us any amount from $1.00 to
$100.00 for the purpose of reprinting the above literature.
Dear Friend:
In the name of our good cause and our good Father in Heaven, send us at once as large a gift in money, money or-
der or check, as you can afford. Mark it, “For Literature’’, so that the amount will go direct to that fund. Don't wait. Do
it by return mail. The need is great. Our Father in Heaven will reward you. The people of Texas will bless you.
Yours for State-wide Prohibition in 1911.

“When the righteousness of a cause
is clear and when the virtuous peo-
ple of a community are united, all the
powers of darkness are van in re-
sistance. The saloons in “Hell’s Half
Acre’’ might as well prepare to va-

Bell County.—As the presses pound
out this issue of Home and State, the
big contest in Bell County is drawing
to a lurid and exciting close. Sixty-
one saloons are at issue. About a half
million dollars annually pass over the
bar into the tills of Bell County’s
drunkard factories. No wonder the
gang is lined up for a terrific resist-
ance. The big business concerns, and
nearly all the first-class business men
of Temple and Belton, are pros, but
the two-by-fours who haven’t ability
to conduct a business and sell a man
goods unless he is pretty well tanked
up, are making a great howl about
“killing the town.” Then there is a
job lot of past grard office-holders, ex-
honorables, and shelf-worn politicians
who have for years drawn a regular
stipend from the Brewers’ Association
for retainers’ fees, actual services, or
future favors, that have busied them-
selves in saving the dives.
Their trump card is to “Save Tem-

You state you can furnish me with what literature I can judiciously
distribute.
I have studied the art of advertising and will waste nothing that you
send me. I can place one hundred of "Mr. Tricket's speeches," and one
hundred of "Arguments against the saloon," in the hands of men who need
them and will read them. Send them and I will pay the expressage and will
