against the American saloon We know of nothing like
it in history but the march of the German army into

over. There were present 500 voting delegates and
these together with alternates and visiting clubs made
nearly 1000 women present.
The resolution proposed by the Evanston
club. 1t stated in substance that they opposed
to the traffic in intoxicating liquors in the state and
I'VE, the delegates urge sisters to the ballot
place Illinois in the growing list of states from which
the American saloon has been excluded"

there only four opposed to the resolution.
The arguments used that the delegates had not
been instructed and that it of political nature.
The women to speak for the resolution all

tics in broken hearts and devastated homes One
lady began her speech with the words, 81 from
Peoria and I wish to state emphaticay that the
of my district for it" The women from the
liquor districts in Chicago earnest, to
for it. The from the settlement clubs were for
the resolution. 1t rising vote. It at first
thought to be absolutely unanimous but when the neg
