Chicago, June 2S.-The Prohibition
party will make its national campaign
this year upon a platform OF a single
issue, the liquor traffic all other issues
being subordinated to this one ques-
tion. Upon this platform it is probable
that either Rev. S. G. Swallow, the

tional organ, will be nominated for
president.

hibition party met here yesterday and
in three sessions. morning, afternoon
and evening, cleaned up all business
except the nominations for president
and vice president. The convention, in
point of numbers and enthusiasm
shown, is considered one Of the great
est ever held by the advocates Of cold
water. Thirty-seven states OF the
Union were represented when Chair
man Oliver Stewart, Of the national
committee. called the convention to
order, nearly 700 delegates being pres
ent, while scores Of others arrived this
morning.
The platform as adopted by the con-
vention bears solely upon the question
of the suppression Of the liquor traffic.
In connection with this, however, the
administration and President Mchin-
ley in particular we're bitterly arraign-
ed for the position taken on the anti
canteen law. the action in this being
denounced as Unreasonable"
The two most important planks OF
the platform are as follows:
we submit that the Democratic and
Republican parties are alike in their
assumed policy 10 trusts and monop-
olies. They dare not and do not at
tack the most dangerous of them all

REPUBLICAN DEADLOCK
EXISTS In MICHIGAN

Grand Rapids. June 25-The Repub-
lican state convention last night ad-
journed until today after ten fruit
less ballots for governor. The three
leading candidates, Aaron T. Bliss Of
Saginaw. Justus S. Stearns Of Luding-
ton and Dexter NJ. Ferry OF Detroit,
were so evenly matched in the num-
Der of their respective votes that the
convention found itself practically at a
deadlock and wearied with balloting
gave up the struggle for a day. Ow-
ing to the large number OF candidates
for minor offices it is not probable that
the convention can finish its work to-
day, even of the gubernatorial dead
