with trailers of gold and white,
the Junior colors, hung from the
center to different parts of the
room; one or two cozy corners
for the smitten ones; a draped
couch or settee-in fact, every
thing necessary Cor a good time
had been arranged for. 1t is safe
to say the gym has never before

less to say the Juniors are proud
OF their sister class. the largest
and best class ever brought into

RESOLUTIONS
We, prohibitionists Of Grant coun-

joice in the many sweeping victories
our cause has won during the past
year thruout the land, and we accept
them as evidences of that rising tide
of prohibition which will soon make
I'll Is Jllc uOIliludut ISSUE III our udtlOu-
al politics, as it ought to be;
AS members of the political party
we hold that the question of prohibit
ing the sales of intOxicants as bev-
erage lies nearer to the solution of
social and political problems than
does any other which now divides the
old political parties. and that none
other compares with it in Importance:
We call attention to the fact that in
our state there is no moral question
at issue in the factional fight
now on between members of the same
party. while in our county the only
question at issue is who shall till the
offices;
We therefore deem this to be a
splendid opportunity for the voters of
Grant county to cast their ballots for
the men who represent great moral
principle, who stand for the home, the
school and the church, against the
saloon, the gambling den and the
brothel: for men who in point of abil.
ity and Of honor are the peers of the
best that are named on other tickets
and who have the advantage of being
the standard bearers of a party which
stands pre-emin entity for conscience
and consistency in political affairs:
