I the councils or the cnurCn. Iucre were a
least thirteen different platforms sent II
from different parts of the State, ana TN
committee had difficult task to select ant
frame set of resolutions which would sui
lan. The convention was delayed severa
| hours by the work of the committee, and
was finally cut down to reasonable proper
lions. The following is the temperance PLANK
Wetemand anaamendment to the consfitu
ton of our State forever prohibiting the manu-
facture and sale OF intoxicating hquor as De'
erage. We are unalterably opposed to u
! enactment of laws that propose, by license, ta'
{ or otherwise to regulate the drink traffic, b'
| cause they provide for its continuance and a
=, ford no protection against its ravages. We hol
l that the proper attitude OF all good either
Z toward this traffic is one Of uncompromisir
hostility; that the friends of prohibition shou
not suffer themselves to be controlled by eth
of the old parties, because these parties ma
I, shown themselves subservient to the mteres
OF the liquor traffic.
"A Springfield special says it is agree
upon all hands that the party will poll q
O largest vote In its history this year, anc u
o specuations are as to which party
d furnish the votes in the greater number.
