To the Editor of the Press:
There were several inaccuracies in your

tion yesterday, one Of which affects me per-
sonally. 1 beg space to say that since join

urged the impossibility of building up par

Woman Suffrage The opposing view hav-
ing prevailed in the party councils. have at
length come to feel that so long as the Pro-
hibitionists are thus committed, the detail
work of bringing the party to victory on that
basis should fall upon those who think It
can be done. This was my only reason in
withdrawing from the county committee and
taking place in the ranks. / entertain no
doubt that the Prohibitionists will continue
to Increase and multiply as rapidly in this
and future as in past elections, and will play
n highly useful and honorable part
in breaking down that unfortunate sectional
line between the North and the South which
now divides the public spirited citizens of
