MR.. METCALF's LETTER.


MR.. METCALF'S LETTER.
II beg to acknowledge receipt of your
kind favor OF September Goth. advising me
OF the honor conferred upon me by the
Prohibition party OF Rhode Island In
nominating me as the party's candidate
for governor OF the state. Believing as /
do that the action OF the convention rep
resents an effort to promote righteous
ness in public affairs. and recognizing
political and moral conditions as they to-
day exist in Rhode Island. IL seems to be
my duty 10 accept the nomination ten
dered and to promise my very best efforts
10 promote the causes represented by the
Prohibition party.
The platform adopted at the recent
convention has my approval Most OF It's
provisions have had my personal study
and commend themselves 10 my judg-
ment But To me the conviction is dom
inant that there can be no substantial po-
litical reform In Rhode Island until there
has been destroyed that enemy OF all re-
form that now dictates the action OF both
the Republican and Democratic parties,
namely. the legalized liquor traffic.
A GREAT WASTE
"lnasmuch as the burdens OF taxation
must be borne chiefly by the toilers OF
the country, and as public waste can be
paid for only by public production, labor
reformers ought TO find their first duty
In suppressing the chief cause OF labor's
burdens, namely, the nations annual
waste of more than one and a quar-
ter millions OF dollars by the agency
OF the legalized drink traffic. SO long as
that waste continues. labor. however ex-
emplary its representatives, cannot es-
cape paying the cost ox, such waste.
Official and public federation OF drunk
ardmaking is bad enough, but legal pro-
lection thereof through the votes OF the
people. is Infinitely worse. The former
debauches chiefly the men and women
who are liquor drinkers, but the latter
debauches the entire community. men
who suspect themselves OF being sanity
as well as those who know themselves
20 be sinners.
las to the agencies Of drunkard-mak-
ing, there Is no neutral ground between
their toleration and a determination for
their overthrow.
