LEWIS IN PROVIDENCE
Massachusetts, State Chairman Speaks to
Rhode Island Prohibitionists

PROVIDENCE, R. l.. March 17-(Special CORE
spondence)-Th Edmonds Prohibition Alliance,
the most Wide-awake organization in the state,
cooperating with the Prohibition party, held its
March meeting last evening in the Central Bap-
fist church and the good sized company that
assembled listened to an excellent address by JON
athan S. Lewis, chairman of the Massachusetts,
Prohibition state committee His subject was
Responsibilities of Christian Citizenship and
among other things Mr. Lewis said:
"Your vote is not much different from your
prayer. By your vote you simply asking your
party to do for you just what you would do your
self if you only had the power to do it alone.
The party thus becomes your agent and you are
responsible for that partys actions. If you must
need vote for a principle, then vote for party
in whose platform that principle is plank
81 know that the saying is sent broadcast over
the land that the saloon controls politics. Why is
this so? Because the best element among the
citizens keep away from the voting booths, or, if
they do go to the polls they do not want to throw
away their ballot, and so they cast it for their
party
"Have you thought about this? Your bal
lot is more than piece of paper. 1t is yourself
you can make any political party hear. 1t is
therefore your Christian duty to cast that ballot
in such way that it will meet all and every re-
sponsiblity which you would personally be liable
for"
Good music was furnished by mixed quartet
from the First Universalist church choir
committee was appointed to confer with the
state and city committees of the Prohibition party
in relation to holding banquet in this city.
The next meeting will be the annual meeting and
will be held in the Broad Street Christian church
on the evening of April 90 A good speaker
from out of the state will be provided.

spondence) 1.-The Prohibition state convention
has been called to meet in Miller, Tuesday,
April z at a. m. This convention will elect
delegates to the national Prohibition convention
and nominate Presidential electors and a
plete state ticket. The Hon. w. c. Calderwood
of Minneapolis, secretary of the national COM
mittee, and the Rev. DR.. Stanley B. Roberts of
Minneapolis will be the speakers. The business
men of Miller, irrespective of party, are planning
to give the Prohibitionists royal reception.
The last legislature of this state, dominated
by the reform wing of the Republican party
passed direct primary law that fearfuly
and wonderfully made. Instead of giving to the
people the control of nominations it is so framed
as to perpetuate the control of professional poll
ticians and bosses One feature of the law is
system of fees that all candidates before the
primary must pay Under this provision, if the
Prohibition party should nominate a complete
state ticket, with county tickets in each county,
it would cost us $4,000 to pay these fees alone
The law also arbitrarily fixes the basis of repre-
sentation in state conventions, and under the
basis established the Prohibition party in
many counties of this state would be d1stran-
chised from any representation in the state con-
vention For these reasons the Prohibition state
committee decided to ignore the primary law and

HOWARD BY THE SEA
Atlantic City Reused by the Moral Dynamite
of the Man From Rochester

this seaside city witnessed such week of meet
ings against the saloon as the campaign concluded
here by Clinton N. Howard of Rochester, N. Y,
under the auspices of the United Civic Societies,
with Mrs Annie H. Steelman, president of the
w. c. T. u. in the front rank Mr.. Towards
lectures have aroused the city. The attendance,
power and enthusiasm were unfailing to the end.
The grand opening" was on Sunday, March
%, with mass meeting at the Savoy Theater
the famous boardwalk that filled the great
playhouse floor and galleries. Mr.. Howard
opened with "a Ride the Water Wagon"
At the end of two hours he announced that he
would finish the ride at First Methodist
church. beginning in hour and half from
that time, and so great was the jam that hun
dreds were turned away Monday night in the
rain the First church was filled again. Tuesday
night the Methodist Protestant church could not
hold the people, the overflow filling the lecture
ROOM with hundreds standing Wednesday
night he invaded the "black belt" speaking to
the ten thousand colored population of this city.
This was most remarkable meeting. The hour
was fixed for 9 p. M. and after that hour the
men came pouring in and packed the house.
This hour was chosen to accommodate the colored
walters who released from duty after the
scrbed the meeting as Spontaneous combustion"
Howard nearly broke tip the meeting several
times both with his stories to illustrate a point
and with the dynamite he pitched into the crowd
about slavery to the saloon and the Republican
BOSS He branded political servitude as the devils
substitute to keep the black man down.
The closing meeting at ST. Pauls last night
was the climax of the campaign. The great
church was filled and overhowed into the Sun
day school room, which was thrown open, and
Howard held them from eight to eleven with
rapid fire address on "What Ought to Happen
in Atlantic City," The great audience laughed
and wept and broke out into applause again and
again, rising at the finish of the three-hour adj
dress and waving white salute to the speaker.
During his week in this city Mr.. Howard
the guest of the aristocratic Chalfonte hotel
the beach, the proprietors attending every
one of his lectures, carrying him to the place
of the meeting in the family automobile. This
great wo-million- dollar hotel with 600 rooms
is absolutely the Prohibition plan by its
Quaker owners There never has been bar in
it since it was built and not bottle of any
kind is allowed opened in the great dining room.
In spite of, or because of, this there is not
vacant room in the house at this writing and the
house is kept open all winter to accommodate
its all-the-year patrons. This is fitting answer
to the argument that large frst-cass hotel
not be successfully and proftaby run without
a bar. There is better hotel the coast
than the Chalfonte, and it is one of the best pay
ing to its stockholders in the city, the year
