IOWA PROHIBITIONISTS MEET

No Candidates for the Nomination for Governor. Des Moines, June 19. —The Prohibition State convention met this morning in the Young Men’s Christian association hall. It was called to order by Chairman Wright, of the state central committee, who introduced Prof. F. E. Hirsth as temporary chairman and Samuel Dickey, chairman of the National prohibition committee, as permanent chairman. The convention caucused for members of the committee. This convention is notable for the presence of a number of lady delegates who came in response to an invitation in the call for Women’s Christian Temperance Unions and also all other organizations in sympathy with prohibition to send delegates. The convention will probably condemn the republican party for the passage of the Mulct law. There are no candidates for governor. All offices are seeking the man.
