was empowered 10 fiIi vacancies.
The treasurer read his report and an
auditing committee was appointed TO ex-
anime II.
discussion was had on the tendency
of some members of the Prohibition party
to support Populistic ideas.
]. w. Range. the candidate for senator
in the Twenty-eighth senatorial district,
stated that he was both a Popuiist and d
Prohibitionist.
J. ID. Mcintyre declared that he would
be PopuIist If that party would only
adopt prohibition plank. That was al
that stood in his way.
H. f. kelsay declared himself to be more
favorable to Republican than to Populistic
financial doctrines, but he favored the
nomination OF Judge Range because he
had been selected by the Prohibition NOM
mating committee before the Popuiists
selected him. He believed a man could
stand on both platforms.
G. S. Dudley thought II would be just as
consistent for the Prohibitionists to nom
mate other Populists as TO nominate Mr..
Range.
Rev. Clark Davis thought that Mr..
Range had made mistake in accepting a
nomination from the PopuiIsts, a party
which dared no; ALLEVIATE The liquor men
by adopting a moral issue. He favored
keeping in the middle of the road.
Rev. A. W. Steers also advocated a
stringent middle-of-the-road policy and
aroused considerable enthusiasm.
Arrangements were made for the eircu-
lation OF from loo TO 1900 copies of q
campaign paper and for mass meetings 10
be held in Fremont next Friday evening
and in Queen City hall on the following
Tuesday evening.
