CulcAoo, Nov. 1l.-At the afternoon
session OF the ". c. T. L. convention on
Saturday delegate rose and asked per-
mission TO read q new paperfsrtlcle-an
item OF news. She read a short telegram
from Terre Haute, which stated the
Liquor Dealers Association Of that
town had elected Nice-President Nor
ton an honorary member. This
brought on the excitement OF
the day. Miss Willard, the chairman,
said, rather sarcasically. that undoubt-
edlY the article was read for information.
She said il was plain enough that there
was good reason FOR everything that had
been said about the enforcement Of the
liquor power Mrs. J. Ellen Foster OF
Iowa, rose 20 aquestion OF privilege. She
ASKED and received consent 10 read the
following telegram from Washington:
Mrs. J. Ellen FOSTER. w c. 7. L. BAT
TERY d CONvENTIOS-Miss Wulard's accusa-
tion against the Vice President is without
shadow Of foundation. Mt Morton personally
denounced the canard through the newspapers
last week. A. r. NETTLEToS.'
Mrs. Foster asked 10 place the tele-
gram on record as contradicting that
from Judge Moulton. Miss Willard
was disposed to permit the cOmmunica-
tion TO go on record, and said that it was
a just course 10 pursue, since both the
gentlemen from whom kilograms had
come were very honorable and truth
telling men. 4 short discussion fol-
lowed, and the matter came to an end
by the adoption of a motion to lay the
telegram on the table.
After a brief time of peace, during
which the convention listened to Mrs.
Salhe +. Chaplin, of South Carolina, the
Presidential saloon matter came up
again. Some one said Ex-Governor John
p. ST. John was present and could throw
some light on the point. He was granted
five minutes, and said:
Il am told there is somcthinFo OF controversy
as 10 whether Miss Frances Willard has or has
not made false accusation against Vice Presi-
dent Morton. II seems to me the ce-President
requires some defense 1 am here 10 defend
him not 10 defend Miss Willard. She needs no
defense. IGreat applause 1t has been
charged that Vice President Morton Is saloon
keeper. That is not true. 1t has been
charged that he took out liquor dealers IL

charged that he signed petition for a license
for somebody else. That Is not true. Vice
President Morton has built fashionable hotel
