demand of the church and the home; therefore
Resoled, That in harmony with the discipline OF
the Methodist Episcopal church we declare as our
platform total abstinence for the individual. pro-
hibition for the state, and uncompromlslng nos
tihty to any and all forms of license.
Resolved That we demand of any party seeking
our ballots that il declare itself in favor or pro-
hibition and pledge itself to the submission and
adoption OF constitutional prohibition amend
ment
Resolved, That we will not cast our ballots for
any party which refuses thus to declare and
pledge itself.
Resolved, That we heartily indorse the work
done and the position taken on the question OF
total abstinence and prohibition by the Woman's
Christian Temperance union, and that we unite
with the temperance people of Minnesota in Civ

national convention.
Resolved, That the assassination of the Rev.
George G. Haddock at Sioux City, Ia, reveals
the real character of the rum traffic and calls
upon every true man and woman of the whole
nation to arise and with equal courage and coz

DIR. S. G. Smith, of st. Paul, was on his
feet the instant the end of the resolution was
reached, and read the following substitute
for the third revolution:
Resolved, That while we do not presume to die
tate to people to their political affiliations,

DR.. Smith supported his substitute In
speech of an hour, which may well be termed
''red-hot Republican address," and at once
the conference became resolved into a vast
political mass meeting, in which acrlmony
and political prejudice and venom
found more than their usual place.
Rev. W. w. Satteree followed in clear and
logical reply to DR.. Smith, in which he shook
r%aAr afC InO nj or
the speech of DR.. Smith before the late Re
publican convention, showing that the doc
tor was ready to open his church for political
purposes, provided it was the right party
which applied. A crisis was reached on a
motion to table substitute for DIR. Smith S
amendment and the original resolution. Inc
ayes and nays were called and motion TO
table prevailed, 60 to II. The vote on the
adoption of the resolutions was unanimous
on all but the third, which was adopted by
vote of 6S to IL. DR.. Smith then moved the
following resolution, which, being seconded
by Rev. Satterlee, was carried unanimously;
Resolved, That IN the action we have taken
upon the subject of temperance, we do not pledge
this conference or our people to any political
party.
