The County Prohibition Cow
tinn Hold IN Odd EoIIoxuc, II

The County Prohibition COnven.
tion Held in Odd Fellows Hall.
The prohibitionists of the city and
county were represented yesterday by
the holding of the county convention in
Odd Fellows hall. There was large
attendance, and the greatest of enthu-
siasm was manifested throughout the
entire meeting. The apparent forlorn-
hope aspect which always prevails in
prohibition gatherings was absent. and
the delegates were all sanguine that the
great question would be more fully agi-
tated this fall than ever before. The
meeting opened with Prof. Cation as
temporary chairman, which honor was
afterwards made permanent. After the
committee on credentials had made its
report the committee Oh resolutions pre-
Sented the following set of resolutions,
and had the felicity of seeing them pass
unanimously:
The Prohibitionists of Hennepin county, in
convention assembled, do declare their ad-
herence TO the state and national platforms
OF the Prohibition party. We believe it our
duty ana privilege to place a full ticket in
the field, to stand as protest against the un-
righteous policy of the political parties who
bargain away the health and morals of the
people through vicious liquor license
system.
We especially protest against county taxa
ton on account of city crime, while the city
se1zes all the license money received from
the city Saloons where the crime originates.
for its own purposes. We propose to develop
public conscience by precep: upon precept
until we create q civilization which will not
license crime through the sale of poisoned
liquors. We believe in the initiative and ref
erendum plan of legislation for the purpose
of defeating vicious lobby and liquor
