Senator Teller. He belongs to no party

out syrrendering tb each other, and all
can't unite on him without sacrifice to pride
or principle"
How about the liquor plank?'
II believe that dan be arranged. Our
people will not insist upon specific meas
ures. All that shpuld 60 into any plat
form Is the recognition of principle, NOT
detailed measures.K The prohibition ele-
ment will simply task the recognition or
the fact that the American saloon system
is a hot-bed of evil and that the welfare
Of the people demands; it's suppression. The
method can be left to, legislative action.
"As far as my. personal convictions on
that subject go, Think that history has
proved that in the reform OF al evils
every method which attempts to find out
how not to do thing AS a failure. 1t was
SC with the slavery question. Tae Mis-
souri, compromise, tfe Douglas popular
sovereignty plan, and all the other COM
promises were failures. It is the same
with the coinage question. The Bland
Allison and the Sherman acts We're fall
ures, which everybqd wished to get rid
OF as soon as enacted, and they did no
good. It is the sank with the high license
liquor regulation. H,rhe compromises are
all failures. The 4oethenberg system Of
Norway and the COUNTY option system Of
Georgia are Gin the right direction,
and are all right as far as. they go. Geor-
gta, under county option, is nine-tenths
prohibition Minnesota ought to be
ashamed at the comparison
What are the 5Prohjbitionists going to
do in this caunpqign?"
Down in my Estate they all favor the
new movement fnd they look forward to
union of forces al St. Louis. Free coinage
Republicans, Pobnlists and national party
voters all stand together"
t'If the history of that Pittsburg con-
ventiont were known, I do, not believe that
Prohibitionists in Minnesota would sup
port the ticket. That convention went
back on quarter Of century of Its his
ignored all the other issues Of the hour.
People have a right to know where a
party stands on the issues Of the cam
paign. The people have a right to know
what position their party takes on. the
great questions Of the POUR, and the par,
worthy of the people's support The old
Prohibition party refuses to take a stand
on the dominant ISSUE Of. the campaign
and is unworthy of support"
The governor was extremely sarcastic in
regard to the St. Lqllis Republican plank
on morality and temperance" adopted

representatives, ard also on the woman

about recent Mckinley reception.
