Will Work in Harmsny.
Des Moines, Dec. "a. Fl. Campbell
chairman Of the state committee Of the
prohibition party of Iowa, and vice
president Of the Iowa Anti-Saloor
League, has become reconciled to II. II
Abrams, the former superintendent OF
the league. They have not met formal
ly and agreed to let bygones be by
cones, but there is tacit understanding
that all will be well in the future. Mr.
Compbell has decided not to fight Mr.
Abrams any more, and Mr.. Abrams will
be good If Mr.. Campbell will let him. In
stead of pulling against each other they
are going to pull together, and Mr.
Abrams, in spite of his animosity to-
ward third party men" will, 1t is
thought, have no objection to being
yoked up with as good puller as Mr.
Campbell. 1t is related that when the
two gentlemen met on the street the
other day, instead of both of them going
by on the other side, they spoke to each
other Those who remember the last
Anti-Saloon League convention will
hardly believe this but their friends
confidently predict that they will shake
hands the next time they meet.
The fact of the matter is that Mr..
Abrams stole march on Mr. Campbell
He was elected member Of the legisla-
tive committee of the league at meet
Ing of the executive committee, which
Mr.. Campbell did not attend. He did not
learn of the occurrence until some days
afterward, but he accepted the situation
gracefully, and announced that he was
willing to work with Mr.. Abrams and
assist him in any way possible. The up
shot Of the whole matter is that Mr.
Abrams is going to begin work in the
legislature with the whole strength OF
the league behind him, and he expects
to accomplish more than ever before.
Mr. Abrams has already commenced
work, and has conferred with the speak
err and the lieutenant governor regard
ing his plans. Nothing specific is known
regarding the result of these interviews,
but it is stated that he received encour-
agement from both. The measure which
he expects to push this year is one for
tee establishment of an inebriate hospi-
tai. He will also work against any leg
islation proposed by the liquor interests,
such as a manufacturing law.
