The afternoon session opened with

were enthusiastically received.

solutions appear in full elsewhere in
this issue.
A number of representative men
were called on for speeches. Hon.
P H. Frye spoke for Senator Gandrud
and himself, and reviewed some of the
objections made to county prohibition
and how they were met in the legis-
lature. Our representative was given
the closest attention and received all
enthusiastic response.
Judge T. o. Gilbert said he was one
of those who at first had felt that an
election was unnecessary in this coun-
ty, but had found that this position
did not bear close analysis, especially
from the standpoint of the moral ef-
feet that a vote would have. Will
mars example had been a potent one
in the past and the county now had
the chance to make it's influence felt
ir the same way He therefore hoped
that everybody would get out to the
polls and make the result better than
four to one, as had been suggested,
and nearer the old slogan of 1896, six
teen to one.
Gabriel Stene of Lake Andrew made
an impassioned appeal for votes
against the liquor traffic and reviewed
| some of the scenes at the great rail
| road disaster at Willmar in 1882.
At this juncture the chairman ap
pointed Messrs. Chas. Lonn, Peter
Bonde and William Olson to take up q
collection to meet the expenses OF
the postal card issue decided upon a;
the morning session. Treasurer Frye
reDOrted that the collection amounted
to $57.25.
The next speaker was County Attor
ney Charles Johnson. He spoke
strongly in favor of decisive vote
| A favorable result at this election
would assist the work of law enforce
ment, and be hoped the result woule
be practically unanimous.
Atty. Geo. H. Bitterness stated tha
the resolutions he had read embodied
his views on the question at issue
and made some references to his w0rl
as public prosecutor for years. back.
Prof. G. A. Foster spoke from al
educational standpoint, stating tina
the effect of saloons on the public
schools is quite apparent to anyon
who has taught both in wet and dr.,
towns. He hoped that citizens woul
see to that the sentiment on this Ques
tion would be reflected in the election
June 7. He thought the result il
Kandiyohi county would be looked w
on as a verdict of the success or fai
ure of the dry policy and therefore
] was important that all who believe
l.. that it is good thing would come on
and say so at the polls.
Mrs. Emery Parnell spoke for tn
Nv. C. T. U. and the part women ha
contributed in the fight which wa
= now coming to fruition. How the v
C. T. U. had been instrumental in s.
curing the teaching of evil effects (
l. alcohol on the human system in tn
l. public schools, and had always bee
: in the forefront in the battle for be
ter social conditions. Mrs. Parne
