New Jersey a Battleground New Jersey Is apt to be the scene of the ttrst big fight, for the matter will be brought before the legisla ture Immediately after It assembles. The battle will be forced in New York, also. There is to be held in New York in the middle of January a big rally on temperance, in which at least three societies will join. The place is a Protestant church, in Fifth Avenue, and one of the speakers i to be Father J. J. Curran, of Wilkes- Barre. Catholic and Protestant tem perance societies are working In harmony. Episcopal, Presbyterian, Methodist. Disciples and Congrega tional societies are taking foremost parts. Since the passage of the measure by the House the temperance socie ties of several of the religious bodies have been swamped by application* from ministers who want to give up their churches and enter the fields in the doubtful states. The Episcopal society reports that the unusual proportion of 98 per cent, of ministers conferred with, pledged immediate activity in their own churches and cities. The weapon to be employed by virtually all of the societies is the cartoon. There will be addresses In great numbers, hut the colored pic ture is to be exploited by millions of copies. New magazines are to be established to carry these cartoons, and vestibules of churches are to be lined with enlarged and artistic pos ters. This method of attack has been used during the past year and a half and is held to have exerted far more force than speeches and mass meet ings. Some of the best cartoonists in the country have been retained, and some of their work is already in press. Societies that have known empty treasuries now report money In sight in such sums as may be needed.
