The writer is in receipt of letter
this week from John A. Bell, the pen

Sewers. Mr.. Bell says that the bot

cHAFlN ACCEPTS CALL or PARTY
Prohibition Presidential Candidate
Willingly Assumes Leadership.


Chicago, Aug. 19-Tuesday evening,
Eugene w. Chain, presidential can
didate of the Prohibition party, was
formally made aware of his nomina-
ton. In his speech Of acceptance he
said In part:
THE makers of the federal consti-
tuition decided wisely that once In four
years the people should have an oppor-
tunity, through the election of presi.
dent and house of representatives, to
record the advance made In morals
and adopt new and necessary methods
OF government If one or more politi-
cal parties are to be kept in power,
rs or SO years, each succeeding admin
istration carrying out me policy Of
the past, and refusing to enact into
law the prSgress attained, then such
party or parties have violated the very
spirit of the constitution, and turned
our democracy into despotism, making
the political boss dictator.
For long time there has. been a
disposition on the part of the lead
ing politicians of the old parties to be-
little and ignore the liquor problem.
This has now reached an acute stage,
which amounts to a conspiracy on the
part Of the leaders of these parties to
coin up the conscience of the people
into liquor license revenue and Off ces."
Mr.. Chain declared himself in favor
of the election of United States sena-
tors by the people and for the estab'
lishment Of permanent tariff COM
mission.

was held, in the month of August, 1904.
A few of the tea store owners of the
state met to consider mutual interests
relative to the importation. handling
and sale of goods. The association
was found to be good thing In many
ways and the following year at Mar
shalltown the annual meeting took in
ia number of new members. The
growth of the organization continued
last year at Cedar Rapids, where the
third annual meeting was held, and no
less than twenty owners were recorded
as members of the association, repre-,
senting about forty-eight separate tea
stores and covering practically every
city, town and village in the state in
the scope of the territory in which
their agents operated.

a large meeting is excellent and that
