Collegiate Prohibitionists Urged
on by the Cold Water War
Horses.
The audience which made up the con-
vention of the intercollegiate Prohibi-
ton association of Minnesota, held yes
terday in the Plummer Post hall, was
about as small as the name of the affair
was big. F. r. Glow, of Mortified,
presided, and presented his report which
was to the effect that there were eight
clubs at the University of Minnesota,
Augsburg Seminary, Minneapolis, Ham
line, Manchester, st. Olaf, Carleton col
lege, Mortified. Winona and the Red
Wing Scandinavian seminary. Since
then the Owatonna academy, Mankato
Normal, and Alexandria High schools
have joined.
The financial condition as read by the
treasurer was not marked by any start
ling feature and may be easily summed
up in the following statement: Re-
ceipts $50. Expenditures s1637. Bal
ance OH hand Sl3.63. Committees were
appointed as follows:
Nominations-Chares Thompson, state
university; E. P. Horbs, Augsburg seminary;

When this part of the programme was
finished an adjournment was made TILL
the afternoon.
The second session was also presided
over by President Glow, of Mortified.
The association unanimously pledged
themselves to the prohibition party. but
recommended the removal OF the
woman suffrage plank from the plat
form.
The committee on nominations
submitted its report, which was adopted
as follows: President, F. r. Glow,
Carleton college; vice president, }. b.
Touburg, st. Olaf's school: secretary,
f. C. Waite, state university; treasurer,
Martin Hovdahl. When this routine
business was concluded, some pretty,
FUNNY KIND OF MUSIC
was given by the FiSke quartette when
took immensely, and this was followed
by lavish doses of prohibition soothing
syrup from the old war horses present,
to the calloW youths, ambitious OF pollt-
ical life and its rewards, who made up

James p. Pinkham, that little gem of
man, waxed eloquent on the cold water
theory and its growing influence on the
state and the country at large, and his
words were cordially echoed by George
Wells, the well known secretary of the
state central prohibition committee.
The speech of the occasion was made by
Mr.. Richmond, from Madison, Wis, and
prominent among prohibitionists in the
neighboring state. When he arose every
body instinctively looked for white
horse-but let that pass. Although his
appearance belied him, he turned out
fluent speaker. Among other things ne
said was: ''The Republican party will
not give prohibition, it cannot, it never
will. 1t has outlived its usefulness. Its
death knell will sound, and that soon.
The Democratic party is never ready to
die. for its schemes are never done. The
only hope of prohibition lies in the union
of the elements of both parties: Ah,my
friends, good will yet arise from the
Democratic Nazareth" He gave some
what the impression of Scandinavian
teaching the Yankees how to run this
country, and in that feature was very
offensive, otherwise he gave fair and
impartial view of the Prohibition party.
