PROHIBITION VS.. DISPEN.
SARY.

The Connecticut Prohibition
Convention met in New Haven last
week. Three hundred delegates
we're present. After a heated dis
cussion this body passed with only
fifteen dissenting votes the follow
Ing resolution favoring the dis
pensary system for the sale OF
liquor:
We recognize that there is q
Legitimate and necessary traffic in
alcoholic liquor for medicinal and
other purposes, and that this traffic.
when left to private enterprise and
control, often becomes a source OF
abuse, injury, and public danger
We, therefore, believe that, under
a policy prohibiting the traffic :, IN
alcoholic liquors as q beverage, the
manufacture and sale of alcoholic
liquors for medicinal and mechan'
ical purposes should be solely un,
der the control of the National
Government handled entirely by
qualified and reliable government
agents. In brief, we favor the dis
pensary system, applied only by
the National Government, and fol
the sale of alcoholic liquors toi
medicinal and mechanical pur'
poses only, the traffic in alcoholic
liquor for beverage purposes being
outlawed.
This is the first State Prohibition
platform ever adopted recognizing
O. legitimate use of alcohol fol
medicinal and scientific purposes,
and the first recognition by such a
body of the dispensary system as
a coming and potent factor in the
great question of the liquor traffic

BUTLER QUITS THE DRIVE.
HE WITHDRAWS FROM THE
PRIMARY ELECTION
TO-DAY.
Means That the Legislature is to
be Fought for in the General
Election i'm November.

The Columbia State.
A considerable sensation was
caused in political circles yester'
day morning when it became
known that Senator NJ. c. Butler
had finally decided to give the
Democratic primary the go-by' and
was going into the general election
with legislative tickets in each
county. At first it was q little
hard to understand exactly what
the Senator meant in his an
nouncement, but now there ls nc
further doubt.
It was about 1 o'clock yesterday
morning, when Secretary D. II
Tompkins, of the State Democratic
Executive Committee, received the
following telegram from the sena'
tor, addressed to him as secretary
of the committe:
"WAsH1NeToN, D. c., Aug. 27.
"I hereby withdraw the paper
filed with you on the 18th or lStt
of June, announcing my candl'
dacy for the United States Senate

The following is the letter, which
the Senatar withdraws:

"Dear Sir: I hereby announce
myself as candidate for the
United States Senate for the term
beginning March 4th, 1894. Hpre'
sumo the candidates for the Legls'
lature which will elect the United

suit of the primaries set for August
3Oth next. I hereby request that
separate box be provided by the
State Executive Committee at each
and every voting precinct IN the
State in which each voter may ex'
press by his ballot his preference
for United States Senator, said
separate box to be managed under
the same rules as other ballot boxes
in the primaries, and l hereby
pledge myself to abide the result !

but exactly what shape politics

able to predict. A contest before
