congress as there was yesterday.

prohibition bill, with only two senators
tHamner and Spraggins) voting against
it. The cheers of .he crowd of women
and men and school children who had
crowded into every available space could
be heard in every part of the capitol.
So great was the cheering and applause
that the house, across the hall, had to ad-
journ, as no business could be transacted.
Every train brought in delegation OF
women who were in favor of the bill
Mobile was the only place. to send two
delegations, one favoring and one OPP
