Iowa Anti Saloon League Convention Sways Abrahams Defeated
H H Abrams yesterday lost the race for state superintendent of the Iowa Anti Saloon League as H C Marshall of Sioux City was elected to succeed him after a day of heated debate. The convention split between factions over the Republican platform and A B Cummins, with a minority report seeking Marshall's substitution for Abrams. The Prohibitions dominated early, but conservative members alerted riot calls before the final decision. Abrams later read his annual report and a motion urged his fair employment within league work, hinting at a possible reconciliation.
