Prohibition and Popuiist County Con-
ventons-News Notes.
SANTA ANA, May ga great many
people were on the streets today attend
ing the two conventions-People's party
in G. A. r. hall, and opposite on the
other side of the etreet the Prohibition
lets were assembled. A notable feature
OF the Prohibitionists was the fact that
so many precincts were not represented.
Eleven precincts were not represented
at all, Orange and Anaheim among
them.
The Prohibition convention met in the
Free Methodist hall this morning at 10
O'Clock. Meeting called to order by Rev.
j. S. Bond OF Ell Modeua.
After prayer the business OF the con-
vention was taken mp. The committee
on permanent organization reported the
following: j. q. Quick. chairman; @.
A. Martin, secretary, and George He'll,
assistant secretary.
On calling the roll the following pre-
cincts we're not represented at all: Ana
helm, Buens Park, FL Toro, I'll Modena,
New Hope, Newport, Olive, Orange, San
Juan, Silverado and West Orange.
The object OF the convention was the
selection OF 16 delegates to attend the
state Prohibition convention to be held
at Oakland, May 10Th.
On motion, committee OF three WAS
appointed on resolutions. The chair
appointed L. E. Keech, I. Nicholson
and A. Barter.
The convention was somewhat stirred
up by Mr.. He'll making a motion to dis
cuss the question of disorganizng; to
put no ticket in the field, and raise the
question OF the supervisors putting on
the tickets this fall "for" and against"
prohibition.
The prevailing sentiment WAS to stay
with the county and state ticket and go
the whole hog or none" A letter from
Rev. w. G. Cowan was read ON this
matter, and the convention finally de-
cided that Mr.. Cowan was O good man,
but his idea of prohibition organization
WAS wrong.

on the question OF disorganization. The

Martin, j. M. Clark and j. He'll.
The committee on resolutions reported
the following:
We. the Prohibitionists of Orange
county, in convention assembled, APP
prove the state and national platform of
cessity and policy of it's existence.
Resolved, That the insolent rebellion
OF the liquor traffic against the reasona-
ble regulation lately made by the board
OF supervisors of this county, placing it
upon the came basis as any other bust
ness, should satisfy our citizens that the
traffic is essentially vicious; and con-
fessedly conscious that it can prosper
only under conditions favorable to
crime and vice, and that instead Of
being permitted to debauch and pollute
society it should be sternly and COM
pletely suppressed.
Resolved, That we congratulate the
ministers who took part in the late
movement for county prohibition, on
the courage and vigor with which they
asserted their citizenship.
