said in part: 80
"Such honor. is worthy the ambition of
any citizen of this great nation, but to my
mind, 1t is to be doubly appreciated when
rendered by the only political party which has
had the courage to stand openly for the pro-
lection of the home, the womanhood and the
childhood of our country against the terrible
ravages and destruction of the legalized
liquor traffic. The Prohibition party, con-
sc1ous OF the integrity of it's motives and pur-
poses and firm in its belief that questions of
moral character should take precedence
over those purely economical, has stood firm
for score or more Of years against all the
attacks of ridicule,y Misrepresentation and
abuse made against it; increasing in number
ana gaining gradually the esteem and conf
willing
to be enrolled under its banner of Protection
to the home s-,st
During all these years it has steadily pur-
sued it's way in educating of the people to the
constantly increasing encroachnent of the
liquor traffic, showing how it is undermining
our political and social life, interfering with
the free expression of the Will of the people
at the ballot box controlling to large ex-
tent the legislative bodies of the country;
adding heavily to the burdens of the already
overwhelmed taxpayer, and, above all, bring
Ing suffering, sorrow poverty and death to
many of our fellow citizens.
The platform adopted by the convention
meets my hearty approval, and though based
on the single issue, is in reality sufficiently
broad to allow all to stand on it who are OPP
posed to the saloon and its consequent evils,
regardless of their views on any of the pub
lie questions of the day. do not under
estimate the fact that there are other ques-
lions OF grave Importance over which the
public mind is seriously agitated. and which
are being pressed for speedy settlement.
There Is the question of stable and at
the same time elastic currency, equal to the
demands of business for every section of the
country, and yet every dollar of which should
be Of equal value and the whole based on a
standard equal to the best in the world The
United States cannot afford without dishonor
to have money bearing Its stamp inferior to
that OF any other country on the globe
The question of the maintenance Of the
credit of the government on which its honor
is based and for which every one worthy of
the name of an American citizen is or should
be profoundly Jealous, Is one CT vast impor-
lance. Again, proper adjustment or the
tariff SO that labor can have its Just protec.
ton without. at the same time giving undue
protection to the manufacturing interests at
the expense of the great consuming portion
OF our people, is worthy of profound consid-
Grafton and early solution"
Prior to the notification meeting. Mr..
lowering, in an interview, said: 81 do
not see any necessity for the sound
money Democrats, who do not wish to
vote for Mckinley, to nominate third
ticket. Let them vote the Prohibition
ticket. We shall have electoral tickets
in every state, and those Democrats
and others who cannot conscientiousIy-
vote for either Bryan or Mckinley can.
vote for our ticket. My views on the
money question, and on the tariff ques-
ton also, are in accord with the views
of these people in general, and are de-
cided and definite"
