 THE DOMINION PLEBISCITE. 
 
 " We carried prohibition in Maine by sowing the land knee-deep 
 with literature."— ^eai Dow. . .^ . .. ,. , . 
 
 ^^ Dominion Alliance Office. 1898. 
 
 The Plebiscite Campaign will be of more importance 
 than any contest that prohibitionists have yet engaged in. The 
 liquor traffickers will fight as they never fought before. We 
 shall need every aid and agency that can be secused. 
 
 Our most effective weapon will be our literature circulation. 
 This is the method of campaigning that tells with the intelligent 
 electors to-day. We can secure their support only by laying 
 before them in calm, judicious, forcible form, the facts of our caae 
 as they really are. It will be a campaign of education. 
 
 After careful stud} the Dominion Alliance has adopted a 
 plan for helping our fri ^nda in every part of the Dominion in 
 this important matter. We are publishing a series of Leaflets of 
 the very best and highest character, exactly suited bo the occa- 
 sion, and we propose to furnish tthem for distribution at prices 
 far below the cost of production. The balance of the cost we 
 shall pay from funds raised some ofclier way. We believe that it 
 is better to sell them at a nominal price than to give them free. 
 They will be more valued and more certain to be used to beat 
 advantage. Notwithstanding the cheapness of these documents, 
 they are gotten up in fine form, well printed on good quality paper, 
 and made in every way attractive. Some of them will be illus- 
 trated. Everything in them is reliable. They are the best that 
 oan be made. 
 
2 THE GREAT CAMPAIGN. 
 
 The CAMi'AKm Fdinteus are new, printed on extra lieavy, 
 good paper, post card size. Most of them are illustrated. 
 Several of them show how a Plebiscite ballot should be marked. 
 They make a very fine series. 
 
 To save our friends all trouble this literature will be sent 
 
 by mail or express, all charges prepaid. The prices quoted are 
 
 for the j;oods delivered carriage free in any part of the Dominion 
 
 of Canada. 
 
 l^arties ordering will please not forget that the money must 
 
 accompany all orders. At prices quoted we cannot keep accounts. 
 
 Post office orders or express orders should be made payable to 
 
 F. S. Spence. The prices are :

 THE LITERATURE CAMPAIGN, HOW TO CARRY IT ON. 
 
 < «< ' 
 
 • 4 In every city, town, village township or other territorial 
 division of Canada there should be formed a Literature Commit- 
 tee. It may be in connection with the reg^ilar plebiscite cam- 
 paign organization, or independent of it, as is found beat. It should 
 be made up largely of persons willing to make some sacrifice of 
 time and energy for our cause. Old and young, men and women, 
 girls and boys, all may take part. 
 
 The ground to be covered in the work should be carefully 
 mapped out and divided among careful distributors, who will 
 regularly and unfailingly visit every house in their appointed 
 districts, leaving at each visit a copy of one of the Prohibition 
 Leaflets. If there are many persons living in a house, it will be 
 well to leave more than one copy. It is better to leave too many 
 than too few. 
 
 Some days later, according to the plan decided upon, another 
 series of visits should be paid and another Leaflet diidtributed. 
 
THE GREAT CAMPAIGN, 8 
 
 To prevent over-lappiiijr the different churches and societies 
 of a locality may form a joint committee to appoint the dis- 
 tributors, or the territory to be covered may be divided among 
 the different bodies. Special care should be taken to see that 
 no homes are missed. 
 
 It is better to distribute at one time copies of only one 
 Leaflet, say No. 1, and at another time distribute say No. 2, so as 
 to have every house get every Leaflet by some .systematic plan. 
 A record should be kept of what Leaflets have been used in every 
 place. 
 
 There should always be ordered sufficient Leaflets of one 
 kind to cover all the ground. If there are homes enough to take 
 500 Leaflets, there ought to be 500 copies of No. 1, then 500 copies 
 of No. 2. and so on. They may be ordered as tliey are required, 
 but not less than 1,000 at a time, although it is cheaper to send 
 at once for large quantities. 
 
 The 2-page Leaflets arc, of course, the cheapest. Tl\ey are 
 pointed and very good. The 4-page ones are more comprehensive. 
 They contain more food for thought, and more fully discuss very 
 important questions. Both kinds should be used. All are so 
 different that no one will take the place of another. 
 
 The money for this work may be raised by subscription, 
 collections at public meetings, or on any plan deemed best. In 
 nearly every place will be found friends of our cause who will 
 cheerfully contribute the money to do so much work at so little 
 cost. 
 
 Let no time be lost. The education should b« groins: on. 
 We are ready to help NOW.
