Indianapolis, Nov 2S.-A harmony
conference" between parties, organiza-
tions and individuals who are fight
ing for prohibition in Indiana is to be
held in this city in the Board OF Trade
building next Tuesday and important
political results age said to attach -
the meeting The fOreword that has
gone out in regard to it is that ways
and means will be discussed to elect Il
legislature next year that will favor
the passage of a prohibition law for
Indiana.
The original promoters of the meet
ing, who it developes. were members OF
the w G. T. u, had in mind the Gre
ating Of more cordial feeling between
tthe prohibition party and the Anti
Saloon league of Indiana, which have
been endeavOring to reach the same
end by different methods. The slogan
OF the Anti-Saloon league is "prohibi
ton in Indiana by 1912" and it hopes
to bring this about by the adoption of
an amendment to the Constitution of
the state The prohibition party on
the other hand has been contending for
q quicker method--that of passing d
prohibiive law at the next session of
the legislature
One thing that has kept the prohibit
tion and the anti-saloon league from
pulling int he same traces is the fact
that the anti-saloon league has thrown
its influence to democrats and republi-
cans with temperance tendencies.
quite as often as it has to prohib
tionists. The league has endeavored
TO influence votes for the man and not
for the party. A good many prohibi-
1ionists in the state would like to see
the anti-saloon league support the pro-
hibition party nominees.
Basis Of Union.
The basis of next Tuesdays meeting
will be the one proposition on which
prohibitionists and anti-saloon league
workers unite-that of opposition to IL
Censing saloons. For that reason the
meeting is be officially known as an
''anti-license conference"
There are men in both organizations
who advocate that they work together
on the paramount proposition--that CT
anti.license-and dispense with all
uuibbing as to the best method to
bring this about.
