and the nuisance OF the saloon will be
thing of the past. WITH these and
other energetic remarks, the presIdcn-
thai candidate gave way 10 his running
mate.

his rcspcctas to both old parties. the
speaker claimed that the prohibition

the three most important things to
stand for
He spoke earnestly OF the necessity
OF temperance people going on in the
good work, OF the failure of high IL
Cense, and OF the impossibl!ty OF my
regulation OF the drink traffic. Mr..
johnson thinks each campaign by his
party pays by the good which 1t does.
and explained how he came to be the
Vice presidential candidate of his party.
He thinks that free silver or the gold
standard makes but little difference 70
this country, but that this country can
not live another century with the lIcenS-
ed saloon; he drew dark pictures OF the
present state OF our country, caused by
Riots, robbery and anarchism.
Mr.. johnson believes that the split In
the Prohibition party Mt Pittsburgh was
n good thing for the party, showing pre-
cisely what the party stands for and
just how many stand for that princI-
pie; the speaker forcibly illustrated
that the voter is the original cause OF
the destruction OF the drunkard both
body and soul. He opposed the candi-
dates OF the other parties because they
take no stand against the drink evil,
and rldiculed the drinking tendencies of
the delegates to both the St. Louis and
the Chicago conventions. The Sunday
selling. law breaking and nauper form
ing saloons OF Chicago were severely
denounced and he claimed that neither
Republican nor Democrat mayors put
an end 10 this law-brcaklng, ms they
were sworn TO do But the saloOnists
were said to have more political sense
In one minute than n church member
has in q week; this Is shown by the
care with which the saloon keepers
guard their own interests.

rally came to a close.

The lecture opened with description
of the political turmoil in the south at
the time Of secession. We who lived
on the "horderline" could well believe
all that the speaker said; but to w
the southern view Of LlncOln's nomI-

something new. The speaker gladly nc
