agreement among the prohibitionists
where until today there had been diff

For weeks two wings Of the league
have been working with common
end in view but with different ideas
as to how it should be realized. This

fer with Rev. j. l.. Harley, superin-
tendent of the league, and members
Of the headquarters committee.
AS a result Of this meeting q mo-
ton was made by the Rev. j. l.. Har-
ley that committee Of ten be ap-
pointed, composed Of five members
from the headquarters committee of
the Anti-saloon league and five Others
to meet in Columbia coincident with
the assembly Of rthe legislature o to
press the passage Of statewide pro-
hibition law to be ratified in State
election, the election to be held dur
ing the year 1915, and that the head
quarters committee of the Anti-sa-
loon league be requested to have the
bill drafted and In readiness to be
presented to the legislature, in the
meantime petitions be circulated
Throughout the state.
I 1t. was agreed by the conference
that the Rev. J. L. Harley and DR..
G. E. Burts serve as ex-oflcio mem
bers in addition to the ten. The
five members from the Anti saloon
league, it was agreed, were to be ap-
pointed by Mr.. Harley, the other five
