PrOhibitionists Of Illinois Bare
~ Escaped mrs. Nation.

Peoria, Ill, July 3.-Water saved the
panic-stricken Prohibitionists from Car
RE A. Nation. A washout delayed the
arrival OF the Kansas joint-smasher two
hours. When she planted herself ~
the headquarters of the Prohibitionists
with the shout, Carrie is here" all but
the last struggle delegates had hiked
for their trains rather than face the
Ratchet wielder. The rout of the whole
convention was complete. Shortly be-
fore noon Chairman Tracy read q tele-
gram from the Kansan saying: Hold
the fort. for am coming" Instead the
delegates hurried through their work
dinnerless and with visible anxiety.
Then they spiked their guns and rush
ed from the fort as II their lives depend
ed upon getting away.
The convention was called to order an
hour ahead of time. Word had gone
out that Mrs. Nation was really on her
way here and the leading Prohibition
lists did not conceal their anxiety to nm
ish their work and get away before she
arrived. They were fearful that the
party would be put in the false light Of
approving the Kansas method.
Shortly after the delegates were in
start the song Good Morning, Carrie"
Then 1t was whispered around that a
washout had delayed the approach of
the unwelcome guest. A second bulle-
tin was received SAYING that Mrs. Ma
ton was still headed this way. and
Chairman Tracy got busy. Motions
were rushed through, speakers declared
out Of order. the usual vote by ballot
abandoned in favor OF the quicker
method Of votinng by standing, and all
discussion limited to three minutes.
When contributions for the campaign
fund were called for the delegates jabbed
their hands into their pockets and gave all
they had. A. dozen threw their rolls into
the fund, while those with silver hurled 1t
on the platform. They appeared willing to
give anything rather than delay the adj
Journment: As the hand OF the convention
clock pointed to 1 10 p. M, motion to adj
journ carried and in two minutes not a
delegate was in the hall.
Ten minutes later Mrs. Nation, dressed In
a suit of white duck hatless and breath
less, jumped from a carriage in front Of
the Hotel Fey. Without a word she rushed
into the corridor and up to the headquar-
tiers of the Prohibitionists. With shout
of triumph, she announced her presence
and demanded to know where they
were. Then she planted her valise and
rolled up her sleeves and made a char
acteristic speech to a few loungers who
were attracted to the hall by the sound OF
her voice.
