said by the law recently enacted by our
Legislature a new party has 10 petition

in the field. There has been over 1000
names on the petition sent TO Charles

with the law and still more to follow.
The Ohio Valley Quartette was then
called on, and gave number OF prohi-
bitiOn songs, which were received with
applause, they being called back several
times,
Mr.. J. Howard Holt, candidate for
Attorney General on the Prohibition

very interesting talk along the Prohibi-

plauded as he proceeded in his talk.
Thus closed one Of the largest meet
ings the club has had. On next Thurs
day evening there will be a prominent
speaker from Ohio to address the club,
and it is expected the house will be full
on that occasion.
