may differ widely as to methods and men, but
the fact remains that temperance is a vital ele-

The masses are the element that should be rep
resented, rather than the wire-worker or pro
fessed politician. The will and wish of the rank
and file of the party must be consulted and re
spected, as from that source comes the main
support of the nominee. Conventions to choose
delegates to Chicago should look well to this
matter, and send none but practical men, who
thoroughly understand the will and wish of the
district.
