D. B. Glibert acted as chairman of the meeting yesterday when these resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That we are in hearty accord with the resolutions adopted by the prohi- bivlonists in convention assembled in Lin- colr. on March 15.

The condition makes the necessity of the prohibition party more apparent. It s because of this realization that we have adepted the liberal policy in assisting to elect dry men of all parties to the legislature, and in placing In the fleld a state ticket that a voter who wishes to raise his protest may this fall do so by support of that ticket. We belleve that a large vote will be a protest which cannot be disregarded by the legislature which convenes next winter. ‘We pledge our support to the end that we may use the greatest influence toward the ultimate destruction of the traffic.
