TICKETS WE'RE TAMPERED WITH.

Prohibition Orgnn.i

such Is the Charge Made by the Editor Of q
Prohibition Organ.i
rFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
PHILADELPHIA, June 19.-While Mr..
McManes posed for prohibition, many of
his henchmen took money to work against
it. McManes' workers, who were predict
ing prohibition victories in their wards and
divisions two weeks ago, were boasting just
previous to yesterday and jubilant to-day
over the change of sentiment.
There is strained feeling in the Consti-
tutional amendment camp because of
charges made in the prohibition organ,
The Quill, that prohibition tickets
were tampered with at the prohibi-
tion headquarters. Many tickets marked
''For the Amendment" were altered in
pencil by the prefix of the word "Not," or
by writing in Against" instead of ''For."
The editor says he saw some of the tickets,
and was told of them by people who had
found some of them among those they got at
the headquarters. Three of the young
ladies who were employed as ticket folders
by Chairman Geiger had been similarly en-
ployed by the Liquor Dealers Association.
Chairman. Geiger denounced Editor
Cougleton's story as lie, but the charge
was nevertheless verified by young man
employed at the headquarters. He did not
think the doctoring was done by any of the
young ladies, but he could not say who
did it.

lied late in the campaign just closed-too late
for much practical service-will be great
power in the campaign now to open. The en-
rollment of voters will fall little, if any, short
of SC, 1000 and that number will be largely in
creased. More than. half now vote with The
Republican party-the party in power in Penn
sylvania. The remainder are
Nearly Equally Divided
between Democrats and third party Prohibi-
tionists. The league does not propose to inter-
fere with the political affiliations of any of Its
members but with the motto: This one thing
do" will stand firmly for existing restric-
tions, making them more string ent as occasion
shall require, and pushing forward for prohibi-
ton, statutory and finally constitutional. until
from Pennsylvania, as from Maine, Kansas and
Iowa, the saloon shall disappear. What this
may involve for present political organizations
is question on which it is now too early to
prophesy, but it is safe TO say that no party's
political interests will be allowed to stand in
the way Of this great movement.
The next effort, then, will be to secure stat
utory prohibitionT'
eyes, and will be the next part of the
fight, and we have good chance for vic
tory. The lawyers can't go back on their
position in favor of statutory prohibition.
and that will be point in our favor. We
can succeed, of course. only by the election
of Legislatures pledged for prohibition.

The LouisvilIes Land MT NIcKeesport and

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
McKEEsPoRT, Pa, June l9.-The McKees-
port Baseball Club met with the first defeat of
the season on the home grounds this afternoon
and the game was witnessed by 1000 persons.
The game was with the Louisville team and the
score was to in favor of the professional
team. but would have been less had some of the
old players of the home team who were recently
signed by other clubs been on hand. McKees-
port did not play its usually strong game, but
this, of course, is no apology as the visitors are
too slick at batting and base running for the
home team. Bad throwing and poor base run
ming, besides errors. helped the score along.
Pete Browning, the famous batter of the WIS.,
itors, made home run and did the effective
hitting, while Provins of the home team,
learned the one score with difficulty. Gilliland,
the left-handed pitcher of McKeesport, was
fairly slugged, but Ehret was not hit to any
extent. The features were the beautiful and
difficult fly catch of Hartman in left field and
the hard catch while in the box of Gilliland,
who nabbed a terrific liner with one hand.
Quinn made fine stop at first by nabbing the
ball single handed. The home team and the
Oakland club will play league game here

SHEEPSHEAD BAY, RACE TRACK, n. Y,
June 19.-The attendance to-day was not more
than a tithe of what it was yesterday, but that
was to be expected. The weather was all that
could be asked, for the track was so dry that it
had to be sprinkled on the quarter stretch be-
fore the sport began to prevent the dust OBJ
scuring the view.
The notable feature of to-day's racing was
the establishment of a new five and half fur
long record by Hanover. He was not pressed
at any stage of the race after taking the lead,
and there is little doubt that he could have
clipped off another second from the record had
he been pushed.

WISGONSIN'S FIGHT.
cessful Struggle For Members of the
Legislature-Their Convention
In Session. Continuous
Prayer Meetin1.

Prayer Meeting.
OSHKOSH, June 19.-The annual conven-
tion of the Wisconsin Prohibition As
sociation began at Oshkosh yesterday. The
notable feature was the report of the Re-
cording Secretary. In this report the Sec
retary, Andrew F. Greulich, of Milwaukee,
reviewed the campaign work OF last fall,
saying that the party lines were ignored
and candidates supported or opposed solely
on the ground of their standing on the anti
prohibition or personal liberty question.
Questions were submitted to every candidate
for the Legislature, and if he did not reply
he was treated as an enemy. How success
fully our organization labored for the inter-
est intrusted to it is best shown to us by our
opponents.
Such members of past Legislatures as had
dared to introduce or advocate temperance
or prohibition bills, and were again seeking
a seat in the law-making body of our State,
received our especial attention. If we did
not succeed from shutting out from re-elec-
tion each and everyone of these candidates,
the leading prohibition paper of our State,
the Madison Prohibitionist, was compelled
to admit with lamentation that, if Prohi-
bitionists were elected, it is neverthe-
less fact that all candidates for reelection
who ever advocated the adoption of temper
ance or prohibition measures in the Legis-
lature have been defeated. This admission
from our opponents shows that we came out
of the battle with visible success.
The temperance people of Oshkosh are
holding prayer meetings and will keep
them up as long as the convention remains
in session.
