They Elect Delegates to the State
Convention.

Convention.
Nearly one hundred Prohibitionists
met in w. c. T. u. hall yesterday aft
ernoon to elect thirty-tive delegates to
the state convention, and TO elect
county committee. j. w. Lansing
called the convention to order, and Il.
j. Cation was elected chairman, and
John Hughes secretary. The Prohibit
tioniStS dispensed with the usual COM
mittees on permanent organization and
on resolutions, but they showed up with
committee new to political gatherings
"a committee on the organ of the
party. They showed enough regard
for eonventionality to appoint n. j.
Bray, w. j. Dean, L. A. Lund-
berg, A. A. Clothier and j. w.
Whitney committee on creden tialS.
While this committee was going over
the list of delegates the usual Prohibit
ton order, speechmaking, was taken
up. Among the speakers were George
+. Wells, who came up from st. Paul to
help the Minneapolis ProhibItionistS
run their convention, and RevS. +. y.
Holman, j. +. Stout, George Hasley and
ID. 5. McCaSlin. These last mentioned
were about the only representatives of
the cloth i'll the gathering, with the eX-
ception of Rev. Smith Baker and Rev.
w. w. Satterlee. Rev. f. D. Holman
plainly told the ProhibitionSts that he
was tired OF so much talking from the
party. He also thought this to be
bad season for Prohibition in Minnesota.
George +. Wells spoke of the great
growth of the party in Minnesota,
claiming the biggest part or its task has
been accomplished The two great par
ties and even the new third party have
been forced TO recognize Prohibition rs
partisan question. The only thing to
do now is to keep ''pegging away"
The committee on credentials reported
no contests, and w. j. Dean, j. w.
Lansing, n. j. Bray. c. A. Lundberg,
G. Nj. Way, Rev. j. +. Stout and Prof.
ReinStead were sent to the rear of the
room to make up list of delegates to
the state convention. While they we're
celebrating. w. w. Satterlee, who. al
though not Il member of the convention.
had been appointed member of the COM
mittee OIL thePrOhibition paper, reported.
He found that the paper should have
80 more subscribers in Heunepin
county. and recommended that the con-
ventiOn be carefully canvasSed; that a
committee be appointed to boom the
paper, the committee to hold over until
the state convention; that the PrOhl-
hibitiOnist merchants be urged to use
the official paper as an advertising
medium. None of the recommendations
were needed except the first one. Mr..
Satterlee was chosen to stand up in
front near the president and perform
the functions of all auctioneer until
eighty new subscriptions for the paper
had been recorded, many of the dele
gates taking five copies. II. W. Knapp,
5. B. Williams and DR.. A. s. Whet-
stone were delegated to nominate a
county committee of eight members.
They reported for Z. 2. Baldwin, James
Pratt, G. }. Robinson, j. A. Sanborn,
W. w. Satterlee, Eric laden, j. d.
Ogden and j. j. SkordalSvold. The
county committee was empowered to
elect three additional members from
the country, if necessary, and a secre-
tary.
