THE OHIO PROHIBITIONIsTs.

The state convention of the Ohio
prohibitionists that assembled at
Springfield on the 11th was charsc-

MRsm. It was likewise character
lied by a departure from the ordi-
nary custom of political convention
in the election Of o woman as tempo
rsry chairman. The good sense and
manifest ability Of this woman are
undoubtedly responsible for much Of
the enthusiasm Of the conventions.
The following very brief statement
Of some Of the points made in her
opening address is found in the
press dispatches:
Miss Henrietta g. Moore, the temporary
chairman, set the convention wild in her
opening speech, the delegates standing on
their feet, waving handkerchiefs and con-
tinually shouting, She spoke barely an
hour stating that the mission Of the Prohi-
bition party iS 10 secure the offices and TO
overthrow the liquor tFAf1o, enfranohfse
women, secure government control of all
means Of communication and transportation,
