We express our high appreciation OF

plshed in other states notably Georgia,
Alabama. Mississippi and oklahoma
and we fervently ask the prayers of al!
good people everywhere for the sue
cess of this movement and humbly IN
woke the Divine blessing.
The Plan of Work.
The debate on the plan OF work
ragged all day. 1t involved difference
of opinion between the antl-Salool
league and the prohibition party The
latter wanted separate and distinct
organization to manage the campaign
for resubmission, but the anti-saloon
league, which was supported by most
Of the ministers, wanted the fedora
ton of all of these organizations. Rev.
MIR. t'ifer declared that the federation
of the temperance societies would
strike terror to the liquor interests and
have vastly more effect on the situa-
ton than the forming of an entirely
new organization to do the business in
hand.
This was the majority view. After
debating the report of the committee
on plan of work all morning. and thru
which both plans We're submitted to
get the sense of the convention, the
committee was directed to form a plan
consistent with what appeared to be
the majority view-that is, contem-
plating federation instead of assoca
ton Of the individuals
The final committee plan made it
a ,1 81 10 Ia nI
of representatives from the temperance
organizations, and five from the mass
temperance meeting then in session,
members to be the members of these
organizations and others paving 81.
and the board to continue itself by Sc
lecting to fill vacancies.
