THE NEEDFUL.
ARE DRYS
Through Orators of Prohi-
bition Party to Run the
Campaign.

With an eloquent address by Oliver
w. Stewart, the noted Temperance
lecturer, the state convention of the
Prohibitionists came to a close In the
court house Friday night. Besides
telling of the evils of ,intemperance
and of the Prohibition remedies for

buttons to the party campaign fund.
Mr.. Stewart addressed the conven-
tion before Its adjournment Thurs.
day afternoon, the regular order OF
business. being suspended for that
purpose after the state ticket had
been nominated. The burden of Mr.,
Stewart's remarks at this time was a
plea for money to conduct the cam
paign. this fall. Some of his obser-
yations revealed the fact that many
of the Prohibitionists were .pretty
long on promises but rather short
when 1t came to forking over the cold
cash for expenses and the like.
Among other things Mr.. Stewart
denied the assertion that the party
was disgraced in being small and de,
clared 1t to be the oldest minority
party in the country. The party
never allowed compromise of any
sort for the purpose of securing votes
After expressing a hope that this state
might accomplish results as great as
in other states, he called for contri
buttons to the campaign fund. .Ir
response to his appeal the party sub,
scribed the munificent sum of $3OC
for the purpose of trying to elect q
ticket this fall.

then elected as follows:

home, constituted the program for
the fourth day of the Republican Ma
tional convention which began at 10
o'clock today. The day began with
fair promise of an early agreement on
the candidate for the vacant place on
the ticket.
Conferences extending far into the
night made apparently appreciable
progress towards clearing up the sit
uation. New York state early in the
evening buried its differences and
pressed to the forefront of the vice
presidency movement with its solid
strength of seventy-eight votes be-
hind Congressman Sherman. Assur-
ances OF support from several other
states were received. At the same
time It was said by some leaders that
the administrators preference was
for man from the Mississippi valley.
The name OF Governor Cummlns was

delegation last evening, but this de-
cision was later practically rscinded
