sion at the Presbyterian Church ycster-
day. There was quite a large attendance
and the association went to work at on e.
There was little or no time wasted in pre-
liminaries. and the fest thing was the APP
pointment of committees, which WAS as
follows:
On Observation-Disclosures Tuttle,
Boyd, jenkins, McCandlish, Bristol, Da,
and Chapman.
On Finance-Mesdames McCandlish.
Crook, Hayford, Lusk. Meliord and
Graham.
On Observation-Disclosures Bristol.
Boyd, Tuttle, jenkins and Brown.
Aiter the committees had been selected
several reports were made and letters read
from Miss Willard and from Mrs. Grub,
superintendent Of work among foreigners,
in which they wished the women Of
Wyoming success in the work they had
undertaken.
The meeting then adjourned until
evening.
There was a good attendance in the
evening when the convention again met.
The representation from abroad were quite
numerous, among them being Ms.
Mulloy, Of Kansas; Mrs. North, Of
Leavenworth; Mrs. Burnett, Of Denver;
Mn. Judge Brown, Mrs. Boyd and Mrs.
DR.. Hayford, of Laramie.
After the usual ceremonies Mr.. Galen
Miller was introduced and addressed the
meeting. Mr.. Miller's addr,ss wss an
able effort, and, to interpretations here
from. would only mutilate a really meril-
orious production. 1t was listened to
with respect and attention.
Mira. Boyd then read a short address
thanking the citizens Of Cheyenne for
their kind welcome and urging the minis
tiers to continue their efforts in aid of the
cause.
Mrs. Brown, the President of the
Society, then read a very interesting and
entertaining address. She stated the
Society had been in existence but a year
and had reason to be proud OF that years
labor. The Society at that time had
only twenty members, and now it had
grown to 2OO.
1t had been stated that public m1rals
in Cheyenne had been laid by woman's
suffrage in Wyoming. She dill not be-
lieve this, but knew of no nobler field for
women who had the right to vote to labor
in than that of Temperance.
I'VE are not fighting men," said the
speaker, but whisky, either in the saloon
or in the parlor. Let us Danish it from
the parlor and confne it in the saloon.
We are not strong enough to legislatc.
but We will room be strong enough to con-
troll legislation.
At the conclusion of Mns. Browns ad-
dress, Mrs. Mulloy was introduced and
gave the audience avery pleasing oif-hand
speech. She began by assuring her au-
ditors that her remarks would be very
brief and that she would not detain
but a few minutes and straightway pro-
coed to speak for nearly an hour. How
ever, as the lady is a very entertaining
speaker. no one complained and none Of
the audience ran away. She stated that
she had wanted TO come to Wyoming for
a long time and see the place where wo.
men had a right to vote as well az To pay
taxes.
She then proceeded to relate the man
ner in which the woman in Iowa and
Kansas had obtained a prohibition law.
She had helped in the crusadee, and had
found that saloons could not be closed By
prayers, and knew that the only way to
control the traffic was prohibition. She
reviewed the effects Of prohibition in
Kansas and Iowa, and stated her political
predictions with as much recklessness as
the hartman Of a county committee.
After Mrs. Mulloy concluded her re-
marks the meeting adjourned until this
morning.
1t is announced that in the evening
Mrs. Mulloy will address the convention,
and a cordial invitation is extended to all.
Mrs. Mulloy will undoubtedly have a large
audience, as she is an interesting and
entertaining speaker. She has an mex
haustable fund Of stories and is inclined
to he humorous and witty. Besides. there
will be other exercises OFFS most interest
ing character.
