1t was my privilege to attend
some of the sessions of the State
Prohibition convention which met
in the Y, M. G. A. building,
Minneapolis, March 25th and 26th
I was surprised to see the spirit
manifested. You could easily
imagine yourself in large, we'll
bred family where all the children
seemed anxious that their brother
should have first place rather than
to try to gain best place for them
selves. Hon. B. B. Haugan, the
nominee for governor at the last
convention proved himself helpful
in many ways. He sang and re-
ponded in his usual bright way to
remarks made by several members
of the convention, and acted on
the resolution committee. Mr..
Stewart, national chairman, said
Mr.. Haugan was fair sample of
a prohibitionist, for he would not
be baked in an undertaking.
They had missed their train to
Hillsboro, N. D., through the care
lessness Of a sleepy hotel clerk,
and was told that the only posi-
BILE way for them to reach Hills
boro, n. D., or Halsted, MIMI,
was to charter a special. Mr..
Haugan called up head quarters
and was told a special would cost
$4,000 and to Mr.. Stewards sur
prise Mr.. Haugan told them to
hitch up. The results of these
meetings are quoted we'll worth
the amount, and yet ''the half has
not been told.''
.s.*.s.
Mr.. Stewart is a speaker of re-
markable force. He says all he
has to say in a straight forward
way and yet does not antagonize
his hearers. His arguments are
forceful and to the point. All his
utterances are clear and direct.
He abuses no one, but presents the
work and aims of the Prohibition
party so concisely that a politician
could not fail to be interested and
enlightened should he be present,
and could listen to his earnest
prayer at the close of his address
with conviction that politics and
religion do blend.
Mr.. Way, a prominent.bus
man of Minneapolis, was first
nominated for governor, and like
the real brother he is, he preferred
Rev. Scanlon whom the Princeton
people had an opportunity to hear
March Oath, the night before he
received the nomination. His
speech of acceptance was one long
to be remembered and I predict the
year will be one that will not soon
be forgotten. Mr.. Scanlon is
prominent Presbyterian minister
in Minneapolis and if he succeeds
in arousing all ministers to a sense
Of their duty in regard to Pro-
hibitlon his greatest mission will
be fulfilled. He has an associate,
Rev. Stanley Roberts, pastor of
the leading Baptist churches in
Minneapolis, who is notoriously
awake on the subject.

Several lady delegates attended
the convention, Mrs. Bessie L.
Scovell among them. She took
part on the programme, spoke
from the floor and acted on COM
mittees. The delegates from all
over the State showed her great
respect.
The Calderwood, Higgins and
Wells trio made music, each on
his especial harp and took their
parts to perfection. Their music
has the virtue of sounding sweet
in sinners ears and the Prohibition
party is not looking for better har-
mony but more of it. Who will
join the band? Gold and silver
instruments are much in demand,
yet you are welcome if you are in
earnest if you can afford no better
than a nickle instrument. The
selection you are asked to help
render is 1.-The Clean Gospel of
Prohibition"
