ploy a number of ~accomplices, among them
Henry Holland, who becomes the son-in-law

Nothing is accomplished by the young

The Prohibitionists closed their cam
paign with a meeting of the Prohibition
League in their hall last night. Quincy Lee
Morrow, of this city, now doing work for
the national committee, was the speaker of
the evening. After his address the meeting

long string Of five-minute testimonials.
The closing speeches were made by the
candidates for city offices.
The Prohibitionists nave arranged to have
watchers in all of the precincts when the
votes are counted. 1t is their belief that

selves. After the meeting the precincts
that had not been supplied with watchers
were filled. The Prohibitionists also held
a meeting in West Indianapolis, and rem

was the first year since he had been con-

after the election. The orders are all signed
by Judge Daily. and the jail officials cannot
refuse to honor them.
The most recent case is that of Ralph

record, who was given sixty days on FRI
day and released on the order Of Judge
DAILY on Saturday for no other reason than
that he would vote the DemOcratic ticket.
