When the resolution endorsing the

forth considerable di. cussiOn, and s'V-

character, or to amend the original res
Oluti0n by sOftening 1t down and max
ing it sort of nOn-commlttal affair,
which would not antagopize mon par
tisans." But all these attempts were
fiat failures, as the sentiment of the
convention was almost wholly deci-
dedly in favor of total prohibitions; 90
after looping off long winded pream-
BILE, the original resolution was unani-
mously adopted amid loud applause
The resolution is as follows:
RESOLVED, That we even more heart
lily than Heretofore TeiteTate our pleGgs
tO"lend our inf IenCe to the national DO
litical organization, which declares in
its platform for National Prohibition
and home protection.

will endeaVOr TO meet argument with
argument. misjudgment with patience,
denunciatiOn with kindness, and all
our difficulties and dangers with
prayer"
