4 kotable Visit,
OF Distinguished People Who
are National Candidates. IS

on the Prohibition ticket, and Oliver
W. Stewart, Chairman of their National
COMMITTEES, accompanying were several
people who assist them and the cause.
They are travelling through the
country ina special train of two cars
which are fully equipped with all the
comforts of q modern home. z
An afternoon meeting was held at
the Presbyterian church there be-
ing abeut seven hundred present.
The meeting was addressed by Vol
ney B. Gushing and Samuel r. Dickey.
Both speakers are able men with high
intellect. They interested their au:
dience intently for nearly two hours
Mr.. Woollry was called for, but owing
the great strain on his vocal powers
by continues speaking he was excused
At the close E. F. Buchan read a few
extracts from various papers showing
the attitude of different men and
papers of early date and the present
time.
In the evening there were about
nine hundred people present, many
coming considerable distance. This
meeting was addressed by W. r..
Metcalf, Samuel r. Dickey and Oliver,
W. Stewart, for two hours and half.
Mr.. Metcalf being quite an OLD man
had rather a weak voice, but well
versed in his subject.
Monday morning owing to the rain
Mr.. Wooley spoke at the depot, therel
being about one hundred and fiflYl
present. 4
All of the speakers brought some
good lines of thought for oonsidera:
ton, the principal of which is that
christians and temperance people do
not vote as they preach, and they
should awaken to the fact that as long
as the U. S. government, or any gov
is in partnership with the /
business the present state of affair
will exist, and when men, that repre- [
sent the people ane men, that-Kill
snaet lsws 5shat will put into effect q
prehibitory law instead of permitting
license law, then then the saloon will
be abolished. The old parties, were
charged with catering to the saloon
vote for success, and when the tenn
perance vote is large enough they
will seek the prohibition vote.
There is no doubt that this VISIT of
distinguished people strengthened
the temperance cause in this vicinity.
The party left here about nine
O'Clock Monday morning destined
through Dakota.
J.P. Vail, Chas. Glatty and wives,
MRS. McKeever and brother, W. W.
Loveless and E F. Buehan accom-
panied them as far as Luverne.
At Rushmore there was a large
crowd at the depot and man in the !
crowd waved as high as possible
above his head and the crowd, twol
beer bottles.
A party Of reporters for various
daily papers joined the party here.
Died.
