Prohibitionist Neal Dow Attacks Maine Liquor Claims
The veteran prohibitionist Neal Dow argues in a Wheeling Sun interview that Maine's prohibition is largely effective, cutting imports and reducing liquor use. He claims state liquor sales were replaced by smuggling and that Republicans protect the traffic, urging continued abolition and warning of a new party built on prohibition. He also notes convention tensions and doubts about McCarthy’s first-place finish in the judging.

Convention Echoes at Indianapolis Suffrage Debate
Delegates in Indianapolis push to finish business by Thursday while tensions over suffrage grow. John Hector the humorous voice, Stevens of Pennsylvania keeps order, and Texas delegate J B Cranfell is deemed ineligible for VP due to age. A national prohibition league forms at the Grand hotel with Tally Morgan as president and A S Pruitt as secretary. Knights of Hope from St. Louis display uniforms under Captain Carl Haefner, with E L Moone and Hiram D Moone in leadership. The suffragists appear favored, though an opposing party strategy lingers as debate continues.
