Non. Partisan Temperance Conference.
In response to printed call sent out
by the Women's Christian Temperance
Unions, of Cleveland, South Cleveland.
Bedford, Burton, Youngstown, and
Mansfield, to independent and non.par-
tisan unions, delegates from the unions
signing the call, also from Marysville,
Oberlin, Pittsfeld, and Elyria, assem-
bled in the headquarters of the Cleve-
land Union, Thursday, June 18th, at 10
o'clock a. m.
After half hour spent in devotional
exercises the conference was organized
by the appointment Of Mrs. E. ]. Phin-
ney, President, and Mrs. P. w. Parma
lee, of Burton, Secretary. By request,
Miss F. Jennie Duty stated the occasion
and object of the conference, as follows
Within the past year several unions
have separated themselves from the
State and National Unions because the
latter had given their support to polit-
ical party. The Withdrawing unions
are neither willing to be forced into
partisan strife nor to count their con-
stituents among the temperance men of
any one party. Miss Duty further said
1--WE do not wish to be understood as
opposing the Prohibition party nor en-
dorsing any other political party. We
are non.partisan both from principle and
from policy. From principle because we
believe entering upon the strife Of party
politics inconsistent with our sacred
calling to do gospel work; from policy
because we are convinced that by ally
ing ourselves with the Prohibition party
we should unnecessarily antagonize tenn.
perance men in the Republican and
Democratic parties and make it impossi-
BILE for numbers of earnest temperance
women to work with VS., thus hindering
the growth OF public sentiment for tenn.
perance and the cause of prohibition.
We are met to discuss the question,
whether it is expedient to form an al.
lance OF the Non-Partisan Unions, and
if the women decide in the affirmative
to form such a Union.
Mrs. F. A. Gilbert, OF Mansfield, read
a paper on the advisability of forming
an alliance of non-partisan unions, fol.
lowed by one by Mrs. Phinney, on The
Advantages of an Alliance of Nom -Parti-
san Unions.
At the conclusion Of Mrs. Phinney's
paper, a motion that an alliance of the
non.partisan and independem Wome','s
Christian Temperance Unions be formed,
was brought before the conference.
A discussion followed, occupying the
closing hour Of the morning and the
opening hour OF the afternoon session,
after which the resolution was unani.
mously adopted.
A Committee on Organization and
Constitution, consisting of Mrs. E. j.
Phinney, of Cleveland, Mrs. p. A. Doc.
little, of Elyris, and Mrs. F. A. Gilbert,
of Mansfield, was appointed and re.
ported in an hour the following consti.
tuition, which was adopted: ~ sa2
