WILL BEHELD. A Conference of the Friends of tile State Dispensary MAY BE CALLED SOON To Organize Por Next Summer's LPteht ia the Democratic Primary. AU Caaldatcs Are to be Com pelled to State Wheie TheylStaud. The Columbia Ilford says IC ls ex tromoly probable thai tho dispensary leaders In this State will call a con vention or confereuco at a reasonably early date to outline a progruixnno Xor the coining campaign. The information that this Is being seriously considered ct mes (rom an in side source that is bigli enough up to know what ls being talked of and what is likely to be done lt is understood to bo tho intention of isoaae of the leaders to scon arrange a call and send it to promt neat men for their signatures. The call, which will name a date and arrange the de tails for the convention, will then be promulgated. The chief obj c'j of thc convention will be to outline a plan of campaign and to ti?eot sn organ:zulon for push "lug the campaign vigorously. Tue or ganization may or niiy not movido a permanent head to dire ob tho cam palgu, all that being a matter of de tail for the loaners to decide upon. Such a call, it ls believed, would or?ate a sensation in the state and give notice to the enemies of the els penaary that they wero going up against a muon stiller proposition than they had conten.plated. Tho cjnferci.ee does not contem plate the suggestion of any mau for governor or anything of that sort, as did the famous Mai ch convention ot 1800 that put fowaid Bel jamlu It Tibman as the reform canidate lor governor of the state. Tho faot, however, that nearly all Of the govematoilal eanloates now in the ihld are regarded a. openly e r se cretly hostile to the continual ion of the dispensary system would undoubt edly lead, lt is believed, to informal consideration of men who would prob auly command the tur.port of the prt ple of tho fctate. This wouu. have an important bealing on the oampaign. Dispensary advocates who arc thinking ol a convention want to do one thing; That is to proxide a se rles of dnect questions lor oinidates to answer as to tneir attitude to the dispensary and their willlugnnss to amend tbe laws with the o.j.ct of strengthening and making pi pular the h.s.n inion, lc ls real z d that of the principal objects of the euemieb Of the dispensary system will be to place In tt e tiela a large number ol conidates who will deal lu generali ties, and, if elected do ail in their power to kniie the system lator on. _ It is desired to make every man show his real colors and to announce what he proposes to do. 'Hit man wno is afiaid to state bis position will net ri om ve any suppor from tho dispensai y eli in nt and will _ JtoaVe to depend for bib eitoth u on tue oppeshe els m fe.

Editorially Tte Itecoro says the announcement made in The II.corn that tbeie will no held soi n in ti.l. olty a conference of friends uf tnt dispensary is of much importance in connection with the forthcoming campaign. The issue as to the alu ptnsaiy.system ha? been beolouded bj so many unsupported statements and direct mibrepitsentatlons that lt is necessary that M n o orgai z.d i Hon be made toeloir tho sn nat n u sn that the peop.e may char.y under? uni thc i^sue.

Thousands of young women nowa days, espeolally In our oitles, aro taught that money oovora every def coi In oharaoter. Ambitious mothers seek for money.
