Women Prominent in the Fight.
For many years the women have
been prominent in the prohibition
movement, for the evils of intemper-
ance bore heavily on their sex To
them must be given a very large share
in the credit for the success of the
fight. They started it publicly on
large scale in 1873 in Ohio with cru
SADIE to pray the saloons out of exist
encc.
This movement, inaugurated by lit
tie band of women who held prayer
meetings in saloons when permitted
and on the pavements outside when
not allowed to enter, spread like Wild
fire throughout the nation and was
denominated by the press "whirlwind
from the Lord. Many saloons were
swept out Of existence, but it soon be-
came evident that prayer must be ac-
companied by action if they would pre-
vent the return or the re-opening of
the saloons once closed.
The call for organization was issued
from Chautauqua, N. Y, in August,
1874 The convention was held in
Cleveland, O., November 1920, 1874,
and at that meeting there was organ
lied the National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union. Delegates were
present from II states.
The plan Of work was presented by
Frances l.. Willard and most of the
thoughts embodied in the plan were
later worked ont in the w. G. T. u.
At this convention Miss Willard of
fered also the famous resolution: IRE
