The Edison ti

Wednesday evening, at Odd Fellows Hall, a meeting was held by the peo- ple of Dwight and Dwight township who were interested in the cause of temperance and the making a dry town of Dwight.

This meeting was very largely at- teikded, the hall and outer rooms be- ing filled with many women and men interested in this vital question.

The speaker of the evening was Mr. Ward, of Chicago, state organizer of the Anti-Saloon League, and he was introduced to the audience by Rev. Farrington.

Mt. Ward stated that it was a great pleasure to him to be hereon such a mission and see so many interested in this great movement — especially the women He said, "a new day is dawning—I see its evidence all over the state. It is surprising to see what a change has come over our state within the last few years and what will come within the next few years. I have been in the Anti-Saloon work two years and during that time a great change has taken place all over the nation. I see so many women and men who are just commencing to sit up and take notice."

He spoke of the Kenyon-Webb bill which had been passed at Washington, despite the efforts of the liquor men with their millions to have it defeat- ed. He stated that 72 per cent of the United States is dry territory, and that there are 200 congressional dis- tricts in the United States that are

y dry. Two hundred votes were cast y at Washington for the Kenyon-Webb X bill and there were about seventy-five

t. men who were "sick" and unable to A be present—in other words they didn't A have the sand to go there and vote y Ar o.

•• He went on to state that local op-

•

tion is simply an educator—a means toward an end. By bringing condi- tions before the people, it is waking

•t them up to take a stand and fight the• y evil of intemperance. Seven-tenths of tie• our state, he said, is dry territory, by

spring it will be nine-tenths. Over thirty counties are dry at the present time.

He said he was glad the fight was on at Dwight, and was glad to see so many women interested, as of course their vote will count greatly this spring, and said we must get together and organize and make arrangements so that our efforts will be crowned with success.

The people then proceeded to form an organization.

Mr. T. E. Barry was elected tem- porary chairman, and made a few re- marks about the conditions in Dwight and said it looked as though we meant business and that there was going to be a change in our city. He said many Dwight people believe in saloons, and think the revenue from same is nec- essary for the town's growth; some also think it is just as well, or better, to have legal saloons than unlegal "blind pigs," but he thought the ma- jority of the people were coming to the idea that saloons are a menace to our community, and if they are ousted this spring, to let all understand that the unlawful part of liquor dealing will not be tolerated by our citizens.

The following officers were then elected:

President, T. E. Barry. Vice President, Rev. McClung. Secretary, Rev. Farrington. Treasurer, Bessie Baker. A liberal amount of money was

pledged by a number of those present, to assist in carrying on this work.

It was next voted that the officers elected be deemed an executive com- mittee with full power to act, in cir- culating petitions and other work connected with this movement.

The organization will be known as the Anti-Saloon Campaign Association.

A lively little city like ours offers to the investor larger re- turns for his money than he can make in any other way, If you doubt our word, call and look over the bargains we have to offer. There's not a piece of property listed with us that will not pay well.

For the home-seeker we have list of lots, cottages and

homes ranging in price from $600 to $6,000.

Win G Broughton, son of the late Dr. Broughton, of Rockford, formerly of Dwight, has recently been rewarded for faithful services to Uncle Sam. He has been employed in the treas- urers' department at Washington for quite a number of years. The follow- ing appeared in a Chicago paper:

"William G. Broughton, of Illinois, has been appointed chief of the divi- sion of loans and currency of the de- partment of the treasury to succeed Andrew T. Huntington, who resigned on account of advanced age and im- paired health."

The many friends of Mr. Broughton will be pleased to learn of his good fortune.
