W.C.T.U. DISCUSS
 LOCAL OPTION CLAIM THAT THE "ANTEsALooNp LEAGUE IS OF A SUSPICIOUS
 CHARACTER.
sw Classification of the Divisions Of the Young Peoples Organ
 izations.

Omaha. Neb., Oct. 23.-The first i'm. portant discussion in the national con. yenuon of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, in session here. occurred over the proposition of en. dorcing the legislative committee of Nebraska in its stand for county op- ton" which Mrs. Francis Beauchamp of Kntucky considered a compromise with the liquor interests.
 Mrs. Beauchamp characterized the name "Anti-Saloon League" as suspic. ious at the best and did not believe the national organization should un- deriake to endorse state organiza- tions in any policy which indicated a compromise with the liquor interests. The trouble resulted from an at tempt of the Nebraska division to SC cure from the national organization an endorsement of its action in support ing proposition for county option in this state as against statewide pro.
 
 hibition.
 Mrs Lillian M N. Stevens, national president, stated that the endorse. ment of the action of the Nebraska division did not put the organization on record as endorsing any particular policy, but Mrs. Beauchamp spoke disparagingly of the Anti-Saloon League in Kentucky and indicated that she was suspicious of all such organizations.
 The convention despite these pro- tests. however, endorsed the position taken by the W. c. T. U. in thls state. Routine business occupied the great CT part of the days session. There was concluded new justification of the different divisions of the young peoples organization, the most lmpor- tant Of which was the formation of the, Young Peoples Temperance Union, which accepts as members young people between the ages of II and 25 years without regard to sex.
