My dear Brother:- I am advised that the Littlefield Interstate Commerce Bill relating to interstate shipments of intoxicating liquors into dry territory, is being heard before the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives at Washington this week, and will come before the House for consideration about the middle of next week. The Littlefield Bill as you know, is one of great importance to the temperance people, and we just must secure its passage at this session of Congress if there is any possible chance to do so. And it is believed by these in position to know, that if the proper influence is brought to bear upon the members of each House by their constituents at home, it has splendid chances to pass. But if its passage is secured, there must be concert of action, and that immediately upon the part of our people. I am writing this to ask if you will not cooperate in this movement by writing at once to each one of our Representatives and Senators from Florida, telling them that it is your desire, and the wish of the people of our State, that they vote favorably on the bill, and that without any amendments whatsoever. Now, I know this will mean some trouble and expense to you, but I feel sure that you are enough interested in the great cause of temperance to make some sacrifices in order to obtain this much needed legislation. Also, it will mean much, if we can get our representatives to realize that it is the will of the people of Florida that this bill pass. The time is short, and whatever is done must be done new. Only a line or two to each members [will] be all that will be necessary, and it may mean a great deal just at this time. If you can telegraph to them at Washington, it would be better. You know they like to feel that we mean business. May we not depend upon you to give us your cooperation as above suggested? Thanking you in advance for granting the request made in this letter, and that you will look after the matter at once, I am, with very best wishes, Yours for the Cause, W. R. Lambert. Supt. Fla. Anti-Saloon League.
