Raleigh, N. C., May 25.—Another
state may be added to the totally "dry"
area on the temperance map as a re
sult of the special election to be
held in North Carolina tomorrow.
While the "wets" have made a desper
ate battle, it is considered almost cer
tain that the prohibitionists will wfn
sweeping victory and that all of the
aloons in the Old North State will be
forced to close their doors on January
- 1 next, when the new law will become
1 effective.

So far as a considerable portion of
the state is concerned, the passage of
a prohibition measure will involve
little change from present conditions.
Liquid refreshments of and alcoholic
nature are now legally obtainable in
but a score of the seventy counties of
North Carolina. This result has been
accomplished by the local option law.
under which all the important cities of
the state, except Wilmington, Salis
bury and Winston-Salem, have abolish
ed saloons. Seventeen counties now
have dispensaries, but those will be
put out of business by prohibition.
While public sentiment against the
liquor traffic is such that the measure
would probably have secured a ma
jorlty without any campaign whatever,
the "dryB" have carried on an exten
sive crusade and have utilized every
possible method of turning public sent
iment against the saloons. Governor
Glenn has been a leader in temperance
movement and has covered a consid
erable portion.of the state, stumping
for Prohibition, during the campaign.
Prominent jurists, clergymen, lawyers,
legislators and other public men have
also taken part in the crusade against
the rum demon, with the end of mak
ing the assurance of prohibition doubly
sure. United States Judge Peter C.
Pritchard has delivered several ad
dresses and three ex-goveraors, nearly
all the North Carolina congressmen
and speakers from other states have
assisted in the movement. Ex-Gov
ernor Jarvis has been one of the lead
ers of the crusade.
In tomorrow's election only register
ed and qualified voters, who paid their
poll tax prior to May 1, will be allowed
to participate. This will largely elimi
nate the blacks and the "poor white
trash" of the cities and backswoods
districts, who would likely favor a
"wet" regime. Two ballots will be
used, one reading "For the Manufac
ture and Sale of Intoxicating Liquors,"
and the other "Against" that propo
sition. >
The campaign s North Carolina has
been marked by, the religious, ethical
and emotional appeals that have been
effective in other states and cities
of the South. Meetings have been
hid in every school house and church,
the speakers demanding in an impas
sioned manner ' the saving of the
children and the home." Women a jut
children, praying and singing, have
held meetings on the streets and ban
and posters bearing prohibition

ners
sentiments rave appeared everywhere.
Temperance literature has been spread
broadcast through the state.
The prohibition campaign in North
Carolina had Its inception immediately
following the disfranchisement of
negro voters' eight years ago.

Hattiesburg, Mias., May 23, 1908.
Denver Very Busy.
Colorado'* Capital la Making
Ready For the Coming of the
Democratic Delegatea In July.
The Convention Hall. Jo
ENVER is making big prepara
tions for the coming of the
Democrats of the nation on
July 7 to nominate a candidate
for the presidency. For some months
the city has been busy with the plans
for the entertainment of the expected
visitors, and Denver and the whole
state of Colorado are looking forward
to the event with enthusiasm. Citizens
of Denver contributed f100.000 toward
the expenses of the convention and
will spend more than that before they
get through probably In giving their
gueg^s the time of their Uvea. The City
Auditorium, which is now nearing com
pletion, will afford an ideal meeting
place for the assemblage, and It will be
posslble for more persons to witness
the proceedings and hear the speeches
than has been possible at former con
ventions. The seating arrangements In
the hall are completed already. There
are to be 11.521 chairs in it In regular
rows, and Uy placing additional chairs
Vi the aisles and In space left for
standing room It will be possible to
seat ,14.000 people. This Is a greater
seating capacity than that of the Chi
cago Coliseum, the Madison Square
Garden. New York, or the Mofmon
temple in Salt I.nke City.
Hie work of getting ready fjjr the
convention in July is under the direc
tion of the committee of arrangements
of the Democratic national committee
mid of local committees. The former
committee Is headed* by ex-Governor
Jphn E. Osborne of Wyoming. The lo
cal committees are giving special atten
tion to the arrangements for accom
modating all who muy come. Names of
those who are expected are secured, so
far as possible, It) advance, and proper
quarters are provided for them. Den
ver has 150 hotels, mostly modern
'structures of brick and stone and In
general as well equipped as any hotels
in the United States. In addition there
are numerous apartment and rooming
houses, and mnny private families ex
pect to open their homes to visitors on
the occasion of the convention. A big

attendance Is looked for in part be
cause a great many people will doubt
less take occasion to visit Deuver at
the time of the convention and Inci
dentally see the sights of that part of
the country. Many side trips can be
made easily from the capital of Colo
rado to points famous for their sceulc
charms or tor their human interest,
such ns Pike's peak, the Royal gorge
gnd the gold fields of the Cripple Creek
district. One of the excursions which
are popular is that offered by a railroad
giving a trip of sixty miles in both di
rections. affording passengers the op
portunity to.stop at various points and
gather the magnificent mountain wild
flowers which nbound.
There is no such thing as Democrat
or Republican In Denver when it comes
to civic pride and work for the general
good of the city. Republicans are work
ing with Democrats in the movement
to give every person who visits Denver
a good time. Under the inspiration of
the example of the mayor, R. W. Speer,
who Is untiring in labors for the mu
nlcipallty. the citizens generally Are
preparing to do their full duty in the
matter of hospitality. There has been
a remarkably united effort to Increase |
the beautiful appearance of the city.
Twenty thousand shade trees were
planted under the direction of the mu
nicipal authorities this spring, and a
contest has been arranged by virtue of
which a prize will be awarded for the
lawn which is kept best during the
coming summer. Ornamental gates and
columns have been planned as-perma- |
nent features in the beautification of
the city, and special arches and col
umns bare been erected by way of wel
come to the guests of July. Denver has
long outgrown the characteristics of a
mining camp. It Is • city with slxty
flve graded schools. Including (our high
schools; 180 churches, a public library
of 100,000 volumes and a manufactur
ing output estimated last year at near
ly $200,000,000.
