/ Close of the COnrentiOn-NO High License
State Organi<erS--i Closing Bold Break.
The state convention of prohibitionsts be-
gan its second days work under very I'M
favorable auspices. The delegates and visit
ors dropped in slowly, and BY the hour set
for the meeting the hall was not half full,
indicating either lack of interest.or that
many of the delegates had gone home by the
night trains. Among those who assembled
early, before the convention was called to
order, the temperance editorial in the Pho
neer Press was read and it was found the
new convert had
PROVED A BACKSLIDER
and was not prohibitionist, after all. It
was too late to recall the doxology voiced on
Tuesday morning, but the subject was sadly
dropped and the convention came to order.
Prayer by Rev. Mr.. Pickett was offered to
the Throne of Grace. 1t was then discoy-
cred that among the absentees was Mr..
Olney, the secretary, who had gone home.
Rev. o. Lathrop was appointed in his stead.
Mr.. Satterlee presented the following dOcu-
ment, which was unanimously adopted:
40 HIGH LICENSE IN THEIRS.
WHEREA 5, Certain daily newspapers have as
serted tina high license is demanded by the peo-
pie of the state of Minnesota, we hereby declare
that the assertion is made without evidence to
sustain the fact =
! Observation-Disclosures discard it as wicked and
/ inefficient, compromise which they will not
accept.
Second-Every state temperance organization
has declared against it, except the Father Mat
thew society.
Thlrd-The conferences and conventions of
the various churches have resolved against it.
| Fourth-The majority of the Legislature from
! year TO year are opposed to it.
! FiftE-Politica parties in their annual con-
ventions do not declare for it.
Sixth-A very meager showing of petitions
| have been sent to the legislature in its favor.
Seventh-It is also opposed by the united
liquor dealers and all their friends who de IN and
what they call a reasonable license.
| Eighth-Therefore, we do affirm our sincere
belief that q large majority of the people of this
state are for various reasons opposed to this
/ measur e..
| THE TEMPERANCE ORGAN.
! Mr.. Clark was called to the stage to talk fur
ther of the proposed daily temperance paper.
| He thought such paper could be put on a
paying basis within year, and that $1,000
per month or $4,000 or s12, 900 during the
year would be sufficient to give it the boom
that would enable it to stand alone. A morn
| ing daily, except Sunday, would be his idea,
aud penny the popular price. Telegraphic
! news could be obtained through the United
/ Press. At the conclusion of his statement
/ the following committee was appointed to
cooperate with the central committee in re-
| ation to the paper: c. E. Holt, a. B. Chase,
John T. Blaisdel, S. Meeker, William Pear
son, w. w. Parker and 9. L. Smith.

your minds. Next year the state elections
will be held, and want to say that We pro-
pose to elect a successor to Gov. L. L. Hub
bard, and don't allow the fact to elude your
