lofts is taken into consideration, it
would be a hard matter to tell which
was the winner

only eight and One-haf minutes. Ev-
cry member of the club had birds in the
fly with the exception of w A. Dunns
and Theodore GundersOn-

The senator has not yet fully decided

Senator CullOm further said. For
several weeks I have had no doubts
about the result of the convention. I
am more concerned about the platform.
I want to see the party come out
plainly for sound money.
Let US have no straddle Let US
know exactly where we stand, and
what we are fighting for and then. if

responsible. 1t does not matter so much

PRINCIPLE BEFORE PARTY
Leads a Prohibition Candidate for U.
S. Senator to WITHDRAW.

Peoria. Ill, June 9--Daniel r. Sheen,
who was nominated as a candidate for
United States senator by the PrOhibi-
uonists at the'r Springfield convention,
has Withdrawn from the race and the
party. He does not fancy the one
plank platform and the abandoning Of
the woman suffrage principle and
therefore resigns his membership on
the Prohibition state central commit
tee and withdraws as a candidate for
United States senator
In an interview he said:
The woman suffrage principle has
been maintained by the Prohibition
party since 1882, and I do not like its
being abolished from the platform. The
party did not declare on the money
question, either, and it is too import
ant question to ignore. Every party
speaks out on the money question, and
so should the Prohibitionists. 1t should
declare itself one way or the other on
these vital questions. L am a Prohi-
bitiOnist, but I could not consistently
run on the platform adopted. I viii

organized by a wing OF the Prohibition
lists at Pittsburg and whose platform
