HoosIER PRoHIBITIoNIsTs

Indiana has just held the greatest
convention in her history. Chairman
Masters reported that 88 counties had
tickets in the field. Congressional
nominations. were made during the
convention for twelve of the thirteen
districts. A splendid ticket was nom
mated. Pledges amounting to $1,000
were made to the already large cam
paign fund. Great addresses were de-
livered by National Chairman Stewart
and DR.. w. H. Boles.
During his speech DR.. Boles said:
"Abolition blood flows through the veins
Of the Prohibitionists. My father voted
the only ticket for abolition in his precinct,
and the neighborhood jeered at him. But
he stood firm, and at the next election his
precinct was carried for Abe Lincoln. I am
prouder of such father than to be the
any question. At the call for troops my
father shouldered a musket and fell on the
field Of battle. l wonder how many old
soldiers or sons of veterans there are here
to-day?'
In response to this call over 100 men
stood up, amidst the widest enthusi-
asm.'
You see there are other people on earth
besides you Republicans" said the speaker
Don't you call us copperheads or anar
chists !" -..'..
A committee was appointed to secure
the National Prohibition convention
for Indianapolis, if possible.

Sketches Of Prohibition Nominees
for State Offices.
CHARLES SCANLON,
Nominee for Governor.

He was born in w. Va, in 1869 and
IS OF Irish descent Has attended
Shepherd College, Valparaiso College
and Chicago University. He has been
an instructor in Manchester College
and other institutions and is pastor
OF the House of Faith Presbyterian
church, Minneapolis. He became a.
Prohibitionist as soon as he knew
there was such party, which was be-
lore he became a voter. He was the
prohibition nominee for member of
congress from the Fourth District in
the last campaign. He is affable and
cultured, thrilling and convincing
speaker, and most effective cam
paigner. When called to the plat
form OF the state convention imme-
dlately after his nomination for Gov
ernor, which came as a surprise to
him, Prof. Scanlon said:
I do not accept your nomination. nor
snail ! make campaign as a preacher or
professor or an Irishman, but as a man.
neither are you who are assembled in this
splendid convention here as preachers or
laymen, as business men or professional

We stopped the press last monthto
announce the decision of the Supreme
Court that the candidates of the Pro-
hibition party in St. Paul were not
entitled to go upon the ballot by GER
tificate of nomination at their conven-
tion, as under the old law. The de-
cision was surprise, especially to
those who had heard the case argued.
The contention of the city clerk, rep
resented by Asst. Corporation Attor-
ney Griggs, was that the new primary
law virtually reclassified the political
parties, requiring the larger parties to
nominate at primary elections and
compelling those which poll less than
ten per cent of the vote to nominate
by petition The Prohibitionists con-
tended that the primary election law
did not affect the rights of parties
polling between one and ten per cent.
The next move upon the political
chess-board was for the Republican
machine to refuse to accept the nomi-
mating petition of Mr.. Fitz on the
ground that others than Prohibition
lists had signed it. A writ of man
damus was procured by our attorney,
Mr.. Daniel w. Doty, and after trial it
was made peremptory, the opposi-
ton being entirely overthrow, not
only on their main contention men
toned above, but also on two other
points. There then remained but two
days in which to procure the remain
der of the signatures to the petitions
of the candidates other than Mr.. Fitz.
There were twelve candidates to be
voted for over the entire city, each
being required to furnish 500 sworn
signatures, besides eight aldermanic
candidates who would need to aver
age about ESQ signatures each.
What a hustle the Prohibs of the
Sanity City made! We never saw the
like. AS soon as the Supreme Court
decision was rendered, six members
OF the city committee took out no.
tarlaI commissions and, with others,
they worked for signatures day and
night, in pleasant weather and in
pelting rain and at immense sacrifice
of their business interests And they
won on the entire general ticket and
on two of the aldermanic nominees,
securing a total of over 5000 sworn
signatures and getting the last alder
manic petition to the city clerk as
the city hall clock was sounding the
last minute Of opportunity.
Too much praise cannot be bestow-
ed upon Mr.. Doty for the mastery |

HOME RULE IS
TAKING A REST
The Executive Committee Does
Nothing But Wall Await
Events.

According to Senator kalauokalaa1
a period of rest from politics is advisa-
bic. and whether from this opinion
being the general one, or from the
fact that there was only small at
tendance upon the meeting of the ex-
ecutiye committee of the Home Rul-
ers last evening. there was nothing
done, according to the same authority.
The committee which has under con-
sideration the matter of a Platform
for the Fourth District special cam
paign, has considered many points. but
has not made any report, owing to
the fact that it is deemed advisable
to await the proclamation of the Gov
ernor The announcement that the
proclamation is about to issue, has
been made more than once, and the
result is that there is some skepticism
about it.
The next meeting of the committee
promises to be held early in next week,
and the chairman viii fix the day.
There will be another mail by that
time. and it is expected that there
will be letter from Wilcox which VIII
be of interest, as showing what is
proposed and likely to be done by Con
e-ress. as forecast by the delegate.

The promiscuous use of Beretania ave

TURKISH EFFECTS
IN BAND STAND
Oriental Scheme Of Decoration
and CoIoring at Hawaiian
Hotel.

The concert of the band at the Ha-
wafian Hotel last evening dedicated the
band stand there in its new dress.
Manager Lake has had carried out al
most to it's finality, his plan to make
the stand thoroughly Turkish in its
decorative effects. The roof has been
painted in converging bands of red and
yellow and blue, the standards in
green, faced with bright red, the seats
in yellow and deep green beneath.
The high shades are relieved by the
studding of alternate hued lamps, and
the color scheme eliminates in the cir
clet of bright red and blue lights which
encircle the top of the conical roofing.
When ali the lamps are aglow the pic
turesque effects are excellent and the
color scheme shows to its best The
work is that of a new decorator, and
there is nothing lacking in the secur-
ing of a brilliant spectacle.
There is yet another feature to be
added. however. which will eclipse any
thing in the oriental line ever attempt
ed here. The minaret is to be crowned
by a silver crescent, hanging from the
tip of which there is to be a pendant
silver star. j ne star 10 ~ pe Vi Sia9'
and within is to shine an electric lamp,
so that it will be typically twinkling
star when the attachments are COM
plete. To add to the effect there will
be fixed about the edge of the roof a
series of stars which will be iIluminat-
ed. as well.
The concert of last evening drew TO
the hotel lanais and grounds very
large crowd, there being represented
the men from the English cruiser as
well as the tourists now here and many
townspeople.

Boston Transcript:
Your issue of Jan. q contained an
article on "Hawaiis Political Broil,
which, while pa:nstaking and for the
most part accurate, shows a misconcep-
ton on the part of the writer OF the part
that Governor Dole himself has played.
Born in the Islands, and for many
years judge Mr. Dole was universally
respected by the natives and at the time
of the revolution was looked to as the
one man who could successfully lead the
forces of reform, and, more than any
other man, reconcile the Hawaiians to
the new regime. Doubtful at first OF the
immediate necessity of the revolutionary
movement, he finally became convinced
that it was his duty to accept the lead
ership.
The reform party was from the begin
n,ng actively antagonized by the Ensi5h
element, by the queen, and by many OF
her half-white and a few of her Hawaii
an friends. The Hawaiian people took
little part. AS annexation drew near
there gradually grew up, within the
ranks of the American or reform party
an opposition to Governor Dole and the
men in power, the missionaries, as thsY
We're called. The turbulent times, as IN
the Southern reconstruction era, attract
