NOMINATIONS MADE

Active steps for checking up or the
Literary Digest prohibition poll were
taken at the 102nd Indiana Yearly
Meeting of Friends, when the delegates
approved the suggestion that the min
listers of the various churches take a
POLL of their churches on the same
question. Several of the ministers
also suggested that the poll be made
a Joint affair by inviting the other
churches in each city to do the same.
5. Edgar Nicholson, chairman of the
temperance committee. in making mis-
annual report severely criticized the
poll, both in its wording and in the
means which had been taken to secure
votes for the poll.
