venti0n of the prohihition party met in
the First regiment armory. Sixteenth

delegates who were entitled to seats In
the national convention more than three
fourths were in attendance when Chair
man Oliver w. Stewart ot the national
executive committee called the eonyen-
ton TO order.
Three avowed candidates for the presi
dental nomination are in the field--John
&. Woolley of Chicago. editor Of The
New Voice and prominent platform ad
vocate of the cause of prohibitions Hale
johnson Of Newton, Ills, and Rev. Silas
c. Swallow Of Harrisburg.
Expressions of various state delegations
rather indicate the nomination of Wool
ley for president and III. Ii. Metcaf of
Rhode Island for vice president The
voting strength of the third prominent
candidate for the presidential nomination
Hale johnson of Illinois-apparently
decreased rapidly during the day to the
gain of Mr. Woolley. aud 1t appears prob
able that the contest today will be mar.
rowed down to Mr.. Woolley and Rev.
Swallow. The latter's friends, however,
confidently assert that his nomination is
assured and a brisk contest may take
place before the question of leadership is
settled.
Chairman Stewart announced Temporal
ry officers as follows: Chairman, Samuel
Dickie of Michigan: secretary, a. Il. VII.
son of Chicago; assistants, Colonel Jellis
of Tennessee and +. b. Sutton Of Idaho.
Chairman Dickie made brief speech,
outlining the work to be done by the CON
vention.
The evening session of the convention
was called to order at 7:45 p. m. but the
committee on platform was still debating
over unsettled points, and it was not IN
til after . o'clock that Chairman Chailir
appeared upon the platform.
The most Interesting plank in the plat.
form was that condemning President Me
kinley for allowing the army canteen tc
exist and for drinking wine himself.
