 ED PRESIDENT.
Resolutions Condemn the Liquor Traffic, Endorse Woman's Suffrage and Call on the

Cincinnati. O., Nov. H.--The National Women's Christian Temperance Union to- day elected the following officers:
 President-Mrs. Lillian M. N. Stevens. Portland, Me.
 Corresponding Secretary-Mrs. Susan M. D. Frye, Evanston, Ill. Recording Secretary-Mrs. Clara c.
 Hoffman, Kansas City, Mo. Treasurer-Mrs. Helen Morton Baker, Evanston, Ill.
 Owing to quite a large vote cast for
 Mrs. Francis E. Beaucamp of Lexington. Ky, on the first ballot, d second ballot
 was taken for recording secretary. Mrs. Clara Parish wright, Paris, H., was elected branch secretary of the young women's bl anch, and Mrs. Helen G. Rice | of Roxbury, Mass, or the Loyal Tenn perance Legion.
 The President named Miss Anna E. Gordon of Evanston, H., as vice presi- dent at large. The recording secretary nominated Mrs. Francis E. Beaucamp as assistant recording secretary, and both nominations were confirmed. The discussion of resolutions took up the entire afternoon. The treatment of
 the St. Louis fair was modified from its first form which proposed to ask Presi-
 dent Francis Co demand of the Mayor and
 City Council of St. Louis that no immoral
 houses be permitted within one mile of the exposition grounds. Longer dscus- sion was given to the pofygamy clause and it's financial form was fixed after an Oklahoma delegate objected to the propo- sition that no more States be admitted
 unto the Union until an antl-po!ygamy
 amendment to the Constitution had been l adopted. The resolutions adopted were as follows:
 "Since our work is one of formation as
 well as reformation, we stand firmly for | total abstinence for the individual.
 Relieving that the liquor traffic is mor- ally wrong and therefore can never be | made legally right, we oppose all forms
 of regulation and again pledge ourselves | to endeavor to secure such legislation as
 shall result in complete prohibition. "We stand for an equal code of morals | for women and men and emphatically
 condemn every system for the regulation | of vice.
 Resolved, That we rejoice in the clos | tnE of the gates of the Worlds Fair on Sunday and in other efforts being made | to purify St. Louis ana further. we me- | moriaiize the Mayor and City Council to
 make special effort to enforce the laws
 of the city against houses used for i'm.
 moral purposes during the time of the
 fair.
 l we DelleVe that all the women or the
 United States should vote on equal terms
 with men. as in Wyoming, Colorado | Idaho and Utah.
 We believe that polygamy is both
 taught and practiced in the United States
 and that there 's abundant proof to sub-
 stantiate the claim that Utah has broken
 faith with the United States in this mat | ter. We ask Congress to provide for ar
 amendment to the Constitution of the Uni.
 ted States forever prohibiting polgamy
 We also believe that an apostle of the
 Mormon hierarchy cannot be a loyal citi.
 zen of this republic because of his VOWS
 to another organization. separate and dis
 tinct from the United States of America
 and not subordinate Co it but claiming
 superiority over it. We, therefore, ask | that Reed Shoot be excluded from the ] United States Senate on the ground that | his highest allegiance is given to a gov
 ernment other than that of the United | States.
 We believe this to be a civil question
 which should not be obscured by reIig-
 ious or ecclesiastc terms"
