This wagon toad went front town to town, Tbe novelty of the thing served aa a tntficient advertisement, and in every hamlet where the tent wat pitched it was filled with a curious people.

Part of the work of the scheme consisted in forming Prohibition clubs. The leaders of the parly were very well pletsed with tb success of the project. The plan and its success wa advertised. and Uie ieadejs. of -the movement her went soon applied to from Prohibi tion centers all over the country for particulars of the cost of aa.
