PROHIBITIONISTS MEERET IN STATE CONVENTION SEATTLE, Sept. 2.—The Prohibitionists in State convention to-da decided to make their fight in th single issue of prohibition. A three hours’ fight was necessary to arrive at this con- clusion, but in their turn planks provid- ing indopsement for a railroad commis- sion, equfal suffrage and the init'ative and referendum were voted down. The railroad commission plank was not in volved in the question of expediency, but was laid away after a spirited debage in whick it was charged commissions in other States had proved corrupt and no £ood came from them. The State convention showed itself to be favorably inclined toward woman suffrage and the initiative and referen- dum, but took the position that the adop- tion of such planks might alienate 4| number of friends of the prohibition | movement. The principal fight of the day occurred over an attempt to insert | an indorsement of these planks in the | platform. There was a fair attendance, K(ngg County delegates outnumbering those | from the rest of the State. The ticket named was entirely Congressional, W, J McKean of Spokane, the Rev. O. I..
