She spoke favoring compromise Of

Come to think of it what has the
heart of oak plank to do with the
proceedings Of this convention, any
way? The convention was called to-
select delebates to the national Dem
ocratic convention and to select
Democratic electors. If the settle
ment of this plank had come up be-
fore state convention, called to
select candidates for State offices
and to express its self on State poll
cies, then the subject would have
been natural to the convention.
But coming as it did, it comes lit

Powerful Truths.

Right in the heart of tho South

of deal of truth, inst as much ms we
do here at the North, il not more, the
Working World OF Atlanta, Ga,
gives expression to these powerful
truths:
What is it that is specially threat

All organizations that are founded
on human selishness and greed, such
as corporations, consisting Of debt
funding and banking syndicates; pres
idential candidates. Then we have
the corporation of corporations, the
''trusts." It's satellites are legal priv
ilege, profit, rent, usury.
What is trust?
1t is n sucker of the life blood OF
labor. Trust and monopoly are the
upper and neither stones between
which is ground the life of the nations
wealth producers.
What are the principal objects OF
trusts?
To fix the price on all products of
labor necessary to the welfare, COM
fort and happiness of human life; to
arbitrarily control tho amount ofany
one thing produced ty labor, and to
fix the price consumers shall pay for
everything necessary to support hu-
man life. 1t is damnable conspir-

Hon. Marion Martins letter of ac-
ceptance is very lengthy. He did not
accept in plain terms the nomination
for governor by the prohibition party
on the prohibition ticket, but rather
invites the support Of the labor and
republican parties and gets into the
field an unridden independent. He
reviews his political life, showing that
he voted with other democrats to pro-
hibit the sale of whisky within three
miles of Chapel Hill thirty years ago,
and calls to mind the changes in be-
half of labor against capital that he
was instrumental in making in the
state constitution in the constitution

the Thirds Blink.

Oregon repudiates the Bourbons and the
Free Traders with remarkable emphasis,
and turns cold shoulder on their allies,
the third party Prohibitionists. The st.
J0hnites met with simil ar rebuff at the
Rhode Island election, in April. 1t IL plain
enough that nearly all temperance citl-
zens are arriving at the conclusion that
third partyism means merely aid to the
strongest opponents Of Temperance-the
Bourbon Democrats. Last year the i'm
practicables polled 1856 votes in Rhode
Island and substantial increase was pre-
dicted this year, but they obtained only
1895 votes, or about half. In the last State
election In Oregon the Prohibition vote
jumped suddenly to 2775, and, with an
active canvass and the open assistance of
the Democrats, at least double that vote
was anticipated this year. The returns
from last Mondays election show the Pro-
hibiti0n vote will not exceed 1900. This
will be discouraging to the political Pro-
hIbition lightning calculators. 1t will COM
pei them to revise that table Of votes in
which Rhode Island and Oregon are put
