DISCUSS REFORM
IN CONVENTION
National Organization Heads in
Unique ConcIave in
Washington.

To call the country to a more ag-
gress,ve and persistent campaign
against organized evils was one of the
purposes of a convention in session
from December y to December II in
Washington. Heads of all the most
prominent temperance and reform so
| cieties were in attendance, and it has
become known as the "Reformers
Conelave."
Among the other purposes of the
representatives in attendance was to
express public opinion to the Execu-
tive and to congress in behalf of moral
measures, to develop plans of closer
and more effective cooperation among
the various temperance forces, and to
enable reformers to exchange up-to-
date information on their work. The
convention is unique in reform history.
