The Chicago Tribune IL very much
disturbed because the Iowa State Pro
hibitiou convention recently declared
in favor of Woman Suffrage. The

franchise 90 woman would result in
the adoption Of most stringent prohib-
itory laws, and, as the Tribune Is OPP
posed 10 prohibition. IL At least has

would undoubtedly be the result Of
Equal Suffrage, and what j. Of far
more importance to sincere prohibit
tiouists, Equal Suffrage would secure

fractinus Of the law for fear that
severity upon his part might not meet
