consisting of N. r. Frost, w. A. Nc

and Christian Carlson, named on plat
! form and resolutions.
The committee reported, but as moth
! ing had been said about the enforce
ment Of prohibitory laws except in the
| preamble the convention directed that
| the plank be inserted and sent the COM
mittee back to amend the report.
| Mrs. Root secured the floor at this
| juncture, and while admitting that she
| was not delegate to the convention,
| said:
UNLESS there is a plank covering the
| social evil which is undermining the
morals Of the youth of the city as much
| as the liquor traffic the w. C. T. u. Or
ganization will not be in the field to
| labor for the ticket"
! With this threat ringing in their
ears the committee on platform retired
! and George f. Wells exhorted the con-
vention to come forward with contribu-
tons for the city committee, with
| which to place the candidates on the
| ticket and pay expenses incidental to
| the campaign.
| Something over $40 was raised and
| as the committee on platform was still
absent a committee of one from each
ward was selected to make nomina-
| lions.
| The committee on nominations was
made up of Christian Carlson,J. F. Gun
ningham, E. A. Oakley, A. G. Bonham
r. r. McManigal, H. Pashley, J. l.
| Chancey, George F. Wells and N. r
| Frost.
Mr.. Frost asked to be excused as he
| was only able to stay a few minutes
| longer and w. B. Anger was named.
The committee on platform submitted
| an amended report, which, after being
read, was adopted. The chairman Of the
| committee explained that the plank
alluded to by Mrs. Root had beer
covered by the clause that all ordi-
nances be enforced. The platform, as
adopted, was as follows:
The Prohibition party Of st. Paul in con-
| vention assembled, renewing its allegiance
to Almighty God as the rightful ruler whose
| statutes should be the pattern of all laws,
makes the following declaration Of princi
| ples
The liquor traffic is the foe of every legt-
innate trade, and industry; the principal
| cause of crime and pauperism with the
| enormous expense entailed thereby, and the
| chief source Of political corruption.
| The majesty of the law must be upheld
| The mayor is not a law-maker, nor is 1t
| his prerogative to abrogate the law. The
| Republican party of this city has flagrantly
| violated the agreement made in its last
| platform to enforce the laws and ordinances
| and we arraign the party in power as I'M
| worthy of the suffrages Of the friends of
! law and order.
First-We pledge ourselves to the enforce
| ment Of all existing laws and demand the
! Immediate enactment of laws and ordinances
which shall abolish the liquor traffic.
Second-Greater care should be exercised
in the granting of public franchises. They
| should be limited to a shorter term of years
and no exclusive franchise should be grant
ed without the endorsement of a vote of the
| people. We favor the ownership by the city
as soon as practicable. of all street car
lines. telephone lines and public lighting
| plants.
Third-Greater economy should be exer-
cfsed in the administration of the affairs
| Of the city: sinecures should be abolished
| and exorbitant salaries and fees cut down
| to a reasonable remuneration, for the SER
| vices rendered
| made upon the grounds of fitness, regardless
of political affiliations.
The committee on nominations re.
ported the names of candidates as
above and the city committee selected
from the wards included the following
First-C- Carlson
Second. Thomas
Third-John Cunningham
FOURTH. Nordhom.
Fifth-E. A. Oakley.
Sixth-A. c. Lackey.
Seventh-C. N. Woodward
Eiehth-Andrew Rankin
