Turner, d. D.. formerly member OF the Indi-
ana Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, but now pastor of the NJ l.. Church at
Red Wing, Mimi, addressed an enthusiastic audi
snee IN our new hail last night. He said there
were three questions especially demanding at
tentIon in this campaign-ths tariff. q free bal
10. and fair count, and prohibition. Passing the
two former, he discussed the last from a nom
partisan point of view, plainly showing that the
aim OF the third party is to defeat the Republic
on party and continue the administration
of the government in the hands of
the confederate Democracy. The ques-
ton is not whether prohibition is q good thing

By non-partisan effor.l This subject is being
discussed as never before In ali classes of news
