tive by supporting dry candidates Tor

outstanding dry for the presidency had
been broached both outside and inside
the convention, Mrs. Ella A. Boole OF
Brooklyn, N. Y, starting her eighth
year as national president, reiterated
again her belief the time was not op-
perfume to form third party.
The possibility of such action in 1885
was indicated, however. in resolution
adopted on the closing day OF the con-
vention. expressing the hope that the
time ''is not far distant when a new
majority party would be organized.
Outlining the policy OF the union Tor
the coming year, Mrs. Boole said: We
will endeavor to sell prohibition to the
country with drive stronger than ever.
Our immediate objective will be not
only to keep the States dry that are
referring the question to the people
again, but to maintain dry State Legis-
latureS and a dry Congress"
The executive board, the members OF
which are the State presidents and ma
tional officers, today was to select the
1888 convention city from a list in
cluding Milwaukee, Cincinnati, New
Orleans and Portland, Greg.
