CITIZENS OF NKHUASKA : These tow last words of warning and encouragement arc ad dressed to every patriotic home builder and bread winner in our beloved state. The Amend ment campaign culminates in the final battle on the 4th day of November. That one day will practically settle for years , so far as our state is concerned , whether the drink truffle shall be outlawed , or whether it shall he given the sanction of our citizens , who have witness ed its awful career of crime in state and na tion. BRIEFLY REVIEWED. The agents of the brewers , distillers and saloonkeepers oon-keepers have conducted a campaign re plete with audacious falsehood and malignant slander. Such disreputable methods to deceive the people were never before employed In the h istory of Nebraska. Claiming to represent the business interests and moral welfare of the state , the desperate tools of the consolidated liquor power have boycotted , bulldozed and corrupted every man weak enough to be influenced by their bravado or deluded by their lyiuir sophistry. ONE GREAT FACT. Lot this onegreat fact be made plain to every citizen of Nebraska. The National Liquor League , the wealthy brewers of Milwaukee , the millionaire distillers of Peoria and every whiskey corporation in Nebraska with every saloon-keeper and that saloon's letinuo of thieves , thugs and moral lepers , all these are united in a struggle for life , with those repre senting the higher intelligence , the nobler manhood , the social , moral and political wel fare of our grandercivilization. HOW TO DEFEAT THESE FOES OF OUR STATE. Organize an Amendment Committee in every voting precinct. Pledge from five to fifty workers to give the entire day , November4tb , to this all important work. Abandon the work of your farms , offices , stores and shops for this one day. in the interests of the homes of Neb raska. See that plenty of tickets are sent to every precinct in good time for use , and keep close watch for fraudulent and defective ballots which will be circulated by the enemy. Spot every hired poll worker of the saloon side and detail shrewd men to head off their tricks and break down their influence. Bo on your guard against all manner of fraud , de ception and illegal voting and STAY TO WITNESS THE COUNT. The law provides that the canvass of ballots shall be public. Have at least two witnesses o the canvass of ballots at every polling place and report the result to headquarters at Lin coln as soon as it is known. REUEUBER THIS. Do not get tired on the afternoon of election day. fight every inch , every hour , every minute till the last vote is cast. It requires a majority of all votes cast to carry the Amend ment. That majority is in sight ; but negli gence or over-confidence will bring defeat. It was Napoleon's maxim never to despise or umler-estimnte the strength of the enemy. Remember that a ballot cast blank operates the same as though cast against the Amendment. TO VOTE FOR THE PROHIBITORY AMENDMENT see that your ballots contain either written or printed , or partly written and partly print ed , these words : "For proposed Amendment to the Constitu tion , prohibiting the manulacturc , sale and keeping for sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage. " See also tnat these words appear on your ballot as avote : AGAINST THE LICENSE AMENDMENT. Be sure and cast this also : "Against said proposed Amendment to the Constitution that the manufacture , sale and keeping for sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage shall be licensed and regulated by law. " Only a few days remain in which to do all that can be done to insure a victory over the saloon. Believing that you will vigorously and successfully press the battle to its close. we remain Yours for the home , A. ROBERTS , C. E. BENTLEY , Secretary. Chairman. STATE CONVENTION OF Y. M. C. A.
