Personal POLITICS.

During the squabbIe in the Kasson con-
vention last Wednesday, over the question
whether the platform should be adopted be-
fore or after the nomination was made. a
delegate gave it as his opinion that the
platform should always be cut to fit the
candidate, and as this opinion seemed to
strike a sympathetic chord in the conven-
tion, the work of making platform was
postponed until after the nomination.
There is a good deal of that kind of poll
tics these days. 1t is known as personal
politics. The old political maxim, "men
are nothing, principles are everything" has
been reversed. Now, according to the con-
struction given it by the Kasson conven-
tion, it reads, principles are nothing, men
are everything" If the Republican party
had principles worth euunciating. then it
would have made no difference who the
candidate might be, the platform would be
the same. But in this instance it was
necessary to name the man before it
could be determined what the principles of
the party were. 1t is the height of absurdity
to call such platform party platform. 1t
Is nothing more or less than one individuals
expression of a political opinion, or series
of opinions. That is all there is of it. An
appeal to the people on such platform is
simply asking them to pin their convictions
to one mans coat-tail.

The Central Prohibition Club Re-

The Central Prohibition Club Re-
ports Twelve Votes From White
Bear Town.
Eleven men and one woman attended the
meeting of the Central Prohibition club at
the Jackson Street church last evening.
Stirring addresses were made by nine of
those present, the principal point touched
upon by all the speakers being the need of
organization for work at the polls, A. q.
Drew, member of the Hamline Prohibl-
ton club, furnished the startling informa-
ton that twelve votes were to be cast for
the third party ticket at White Bear town
in the coming election, and that ill Reserve
not single third party man was to be
found. He charged the citizens of the
county and the clergy with being asleep as
far as prohibition was concerned, and adj
vised general waking up in order that the
saloon element might be throttled He
called attention to the fact that the
State Fair association had advertised
for proposals for the exclusive sale of liquors
on the ground during the fair. The
grounds were in Rose town, the residents
of which voted no license at the last cleo
ton. Steps, he said were being taken by
the Hamline club to prevent this violation
of the law and he asked the support of the
Central club in the undertaking. Grand
Chief Templar Quick promised to call the
attention of the Good Templar lodges to
the meetings of the club and predicted
much larger attendance at the next meet
ing. The great gain of rates in White
Bear town, alluded to by Mr., Drew, was
the cause of a much congratulatory COM
ment by the speakers. who called attention
to the encouragement the Prohibition party
was receiving throughout the country. One
of the members of the club said there was
no doubt but that thousand votes could
be polled by the third party, providing
enough men could be secured to put tickets
at each polling place.
