THE PITTSBURG BANQUET
How Reason Feasted and Souls Flowed in
Pennsylvania Big, Noisy
City

P1TrsBURG, PENNSYLVANIA, December 13-
Especial correspondence LAST night the. Pro
hibitionists of Allegheny county sat down to
splendid banquet at the Monongahela House in
this city. The attendance was decided surprise
to all concerned, and the good fellowship and en-
thuslasm that prevailed throughout the evening
were an inspiration for and harder work.
The choice of Doctor J. T. MCCRoRY pastor of
one of the strong churches of the city, for toast
master was an exceedingly happy one, and his
tact and unfaing humor added much to the
occasion. The Rev. DR.. BLoDGETT asked the bless
ing of God upon the banquet DR.. BLoDGErT has
been in Allegheny county but for short time
but stands squarey with the Prohbitonists.
Last Sunday morning in his sermon he announced
his position as a member of the Prohibition party
The first toast of the evening was by Dr.
GRANNIs who spoke to "The Tidal Wave" His
address was review of recent Prohibition vic
tories and summing UP of the credit due to the
Prohibition party.
Mr.. H. w. CoAD the Field Secretary of the
Prohibitionsts next discussed "Mollycoddle Pol
itics." 1t was a strong address, pointing out the
weakness of political sentiment that does moth
ing, and made an imprisoned plea for work
the part of those who know what shall be done
The next toast was responded to by J. w.
