split in the ranks, the members of the
farmers alliance Withdrawing.
Rev. E. E. Saunders, chairman of the
executive committee, presided. Aprayer
was offered by Rev. O. A. McNamara.
After the reading of the call the chair
man announced that owing to the lack
of organization throughout the state
the convention had been called as mass
convention, and that the credentials en-
titlipg delegates to seats would consist
in signing the declaration of principles,
declaring for the prohibition of the man
nfacture, import and sale of in.
toxicating liquors the paramount
issue before the American peo-
pls, and pledgipg their support
10 the national prohibition party and
use their influence for an extension of
its principles. This declaration all al.
lance men refused to sign. After fight
ing an hour in vain endeavor to show
what they were there for, the alliance
independent men withdrew. A com
mittee was then appointed which, after
adjournment. reported the following
delegates to the national convention:

The alliance held q secret session four
hours but will divulge nothing of the
proceeding except the statement that
the business pertained to discussion OF
plans for political campaign and the
preparation for call for an independ.
ent alliance state convention.
The result of the alliance bolt from

be that the third party prohibitionists
