Callen, editor of Our Standard, state organ of the liquor dealers, says that a thorough and systematic organization of the liquor forces of the state is now taking place with a view to influencing the selection of members of the state legislature and congressmen. “The plan is a new one," said he. It promises to be more effective than any one yet undertaken by the liquor men. The unit of the organization is the county. When all of the counties of a district are organized we call a mass meeting and consolidate the county organizations into one compact district organization.”
