SMALL PARTY'S
OWN TROUBLES.
PROHIBITIONIsTS ARE EXERCISED
OVER WRONG USE OF FUNDS.
Oliver w. Stewart, Chairman Of. the Ma
tional Committee, Is Accused Of Hav-
ing Used the Funds Of the Party to
Build Up Rival Paper to the Voice.
Hartford Courant (Rep.).


Oliver W. Stewart is chairman OF the
prohibition national committee. He is a
positive person, fond Of his own, way,
and sometimes more remarkable for
brusqueness than fer suavity. John G:
Woolley edits the party's principal
TVS nominee for the presidency. He is
quite as positive and perhaps almost
as fond Of his own way as Chairman
Stewart is. Trouble has been brewing
between the two this long time past.
There was an open clash with language

cow ention this year. Then there was a
public making-up; but it was, Of a sort
that did not promise a settled peace.
When the convention met, Editor Wool
right away and taking the chances on
the generals acceptance. He was over
ruled, and he did not like it. Last week,
in one of his editorials he rebuked the
national chairman for sending out in the
campaign plate-matter what he Gale an
unwa rranted and impolitic criticism OF
the Ant1saloon league.
All that was mere PREDATORY tremor
and rumble; here comes the real lava,
and hot stuff it is. Oct. "a, this year,
the treasurer Of the prohibition nation
al committee, Samuel Dickie, wrote
r. Faris Of Missouri: After, binding
this brother over to absolute silence un-
til after election, the treasurer Informed
him that Chairman Stewart had secret
ly, without his knowledge, diverted
about $4,000 Of the party's campaign
fund to the benefit and booming Of the
Hartman (Tenn.) Citizen, a little paper
run by one Tate, whom Editor Woolley
had fred from the staff of his Chicago
paper. This 100000 was in addition to:
an appropriation of nearly $4,000 ap-
pearing on the books. Extracts from
Treasurer Dickie g no longer confden-s
tial letter follow:
We (the executive committee) were. sat
isaed that however scheduled Mr.. Stew
art might be, and however earnest and
sincere he may have persuaded himself
that his motives were, yet, nevertheless,
he blinded by his hatred Of the Voice
and Mr.. Woolley. and was really spending
this money to build up rival paper. and
crush his enemy rather than to serve the
cause Of the prohibition party. =
We have heretofore had our differences of
opinion on questions of platform and
party policy, but SO far as I know this is
the first instance In which the treasury
has ever been looted after this fashion.
Il You may be assured that, as
soon as election is over. there will be
something doing.
Election is over, and there is some
thing doing. An auditing committee
will soon be at work on Chairman Stew
art IS campaign expense accounts. If
it's findings bear out Treasurer Dickie' g
charges, it seems likely that the prohibi-
tion party will dispense with Stewart IS
services. That will not mean non-eln-
ployment and idleness for him, tho. He
is 4 member of the Illinois legislature.

be for good or for evil.
