THE DRY fORCtS
IN TEXAS FIGHT
Convention to Be Held at
DaUas in the Interest of
Campaign for Statewide
Prohibition.
Dallas, Tex.. March 8.—It Is an
nounced that for the first time In his
career William Jennings Bryan will
appear upon the convention platform
of an anti-saloon meeting when the
Texas branch of the Antt-Saloon
League of America" opens its second an
nual convention in this city next Sun
day. It Is proposed to make the con
vention the greatest gathering of pro
hibition forces ever held anywhere In
the south. Fully 5000 delegates, rep
resenting every part of the state, arc
expected to be in attendance. The
three days' sessions will be held in the
auditorium of the city hall, with public
mass meetings at night in the Fair
Park coliseum.
In addition to Mr. Bryan the promi
nent speakers will be former Congress
man Richmond Pearson Hobson of Ala
bama, the Rev. Purley A. Baker, na
the Anti
tional superintendent of
Saloun League of America, and Mrs.
Nannie Webb Curtis, president of the
Texas Woman's Christian Temperance
union.
Bryan Big Drawing Card.
Mr. Bryan is expected to be the hip;
drawing card. The fact that it will be
his first appearance as a speaker at a
convention under the auspices of the
Anti-Saloon league is being heralded
by that organization as a great achieve
ment.
The question of "submission'' is ex
pected to be decided at the coming
convention. It is held by legal authori

order to get the question of statewide
prohibition by constitutional amend
ment on the ticket to be voted on in the
primary next July it will be necessary
to petition the Democratic state exec
utive committee to "submit" the ques
tion. This being done, the "submis
sion" campaign will then be carried on
until primary day. If the question is
carried before the people the campaign
will then be continued when the legis
la tu re meets next January.
All West Texas Dry.
Recent gains to the local option
column of counties in the heart of what
was formerly the solid "wet" territory
of south Texas have served to stimu
late the anti-saloon forces to make still
greater efforts. There is now only one
"wet" county between
and El Paso, a distance of 614 miles.

On the eve of his sixty-ninth birthday, Thomas A. Edison was honored
by the Illuminating Engineers' Society at a big banquet in New York.
"He has done more than any other man to promote the art and science of
engineering," were the words used by Chartas P. Steinmetz, the preside«*
of the society, in referring to.Mr. Edison.
political conventions will be named in
the state primaries to be held next
Tuesday. So far as can be gathered
from opinions expressed by the party
leaders li appeals that the feeling In
New Hampshire has not materially
altered since the Taft-Roosavelt con
test, except that the lines are more
tightly drawn. The Republican dele-.
gation is expected to vote on the first
ballot for John W. Weeks, who is a
native of Now Hampshire. It does
not follow however, that New Hamp
shire is bound to the Massachusetts
senator. The indications are that the
Granite state delegates to the Chi
cago convention will be ready to vote
for Root, Hughes or another available
candidate whenever Weeks drops out
of the running. The state delegation
to the Progressive national convention
will be headed by Winston Churchill
and Robert P. Bass, and will be for
Roosevelt. Senator Henry F. Hollis
will head the delegation to the Demo
cratic convention at St. Louis. The
delegation will be solidly for the re
nomination of President Wilson.

represented by Miss McManus.

working solely to amend the const!

courages the work In the states while
still believing In and working for the

represented by Mrs. J. G. Green, who
also spoke for the Democratic women
and outlined their sympathetic, broad
minded policy regarding the ambition
of other women to obtain for them
selves their Just rights as citizens and
taxpayers. "The Democratic women
of Idaho are in full sympathy with the
desire of the great body of nen-en
franchised women to obtain the bal
lot." stated Mrs. Green, "but they ab
solutely repudiate the idea of milit
ancy as exemplified by the past actions
of the congressional union, especially
in the enfranchised states. Many of
the Democratic women of Idaho are
members of the 'mother organization,

Medill McCormick, who was one of the
most active members and officers of
this organization in the work of last

securing data regarding the impression
made on Idaho politics by the militant
methods of the Congressional union,
particularly with reference to the
Democratic party.
"As the report, while strictly truth

hearing given her; and they also fee!

in its widest sense by their represen

The reason we have had no suits left over to
reduce the past few seasons, is because we price
them "Right" at the beginning of the season.
Golden Rule Suits sell early iu the season be
cause most women appreciate getting a full sea
son's weai- for their money. We are selling suits
right now at $15 and $22.50 that are equal in
value to most suits to be found at the end of the
season for these prices.
Oli, no—we're not the only store that sells
suits at these $15 and $22.50, but we have estab
lished a standard of value that has uot been
equalled. It's easy to find suits to sell at these
prices, but it takes years of specializing to offer
the style and quality to be found iu Golden Rule
$15 and $22.50 suits.
These are busy days on the balcony ready-to
