Convention Nominates Rev. Silas c. Swallow
of Pennsylvana. for President. and
George w. Carroll. of Texas.
for Vice President

Indianapolis. Ind, July 1.-The pro-
hibition party in national convention
on Thursday nominated Silas G. Swal-
low, of Pennsylvania, for president,
and George w. Carroll. of Texas, for
vice president The platform was
adopted without argument, after a
long deadlock in the resolutions COM
mittee.
Miles Declines.
Gen. Miles put an end to the move
ment to nominate him for president
by sending to John G. Woolley tele-
gram from New York, which reached
him shortly after noon, asking that
his name be not presented. This was
considered final, and the movement to
Mr.. Swallow was unanimous, no other
name being considered.
Platform Adopted.
The platform adopted Is as follows:
The prohibition party in national
convention assembled at Indianapolis
June 80, 1904, recognizing that the chief
end of all government is the establish
ment of those principles of righteous
ness and justice that have been revealed
to man as the will of the ever living
God and desiring His blessing upon
our national life, and believing in
the perpetuation of the high ideals
of government of the people, by
the people and for the people. estab-
lished by our fathers makes the follow
ing declaration of principles and pur-
poses:
"First-The widely prevailing system
OF the licensed and legalized sale of
alcoholic beverages Is so ruinous to in
dividual interests, so inimical to public
welfare, SO destructive to national
wealth and so subversive to the rights
OF great masses Of our citizenship. that
the destruction of the traffic is and for
years has been the most important ques-
tion in American politics.
"Second-We denounce the lack of
statesmanship exhibited by the lead
ers of the democratic and republican
parties in their refusal to recognize the
paramount Importance of this question
and the cowardice with which the lead
ers of these parties have courted the
favor of those whose selfish interests
are advanced by the continuation and
augmentation of the traffic, until to-day
the influence of the liquor traffic prac-
tically dominates national, state and To-
cal government throughout the nation.
The Liquor Traffic.
'Third-We declare the truth, demon
strated by the experience Of half a CEN
tury, that all methods of dealing with
the liquor traffic which recognize its
right to exist, in any form, under any
system of license or tax or regulation
have proved powerless to remove its
evils and useless as checks upon its
growth, while the insignificant public
revenues which have accrued therefrom
have scared the public conscience
against recognition of Its iniduity.
"Fourth-We call public attention to
the fact, proved by the experience of
more than so years, that to secure the
enactment and enforcement of prohib-
itory legislation in which alone lies
hope of the protection of the people
The L'Anse sentinel., 1904-07-09

from the liquor traffic, 1t is necessary
that the legislative, executive and judi
cial branches Of the government should
be in the hands of political party in
harmony with the prohibition principle
and pledged to its embodiment in Law
and to the execution Of those laws.
"Fifth-We pledge the prohibition
party, wherever given power by the suf-
frage of the people, to the enactment and
enforcement of laws prohibiting and
abolishing the manufacture, importa-
tion, transportation and sale of alcoholic
beverages.
only no other issue of equal Importance
before the American people to-day, but
that the so-called issues upon which the
democratic aId republican parties seek
to divide the electorate of the country
are in large part subterfuges under the
cover of which they wrangle for the
spoils of Office.
Recognizing that the intel
ligent voters of the country may proper
ly ask our attitude upon other ques-
tions of public concern, we declare our
selves in favor Of:
THE impartial enforcement Of all law.
"The safeguarding of the peoples
rights by rigid application Of the
principles of justice to all combina-
tions and organizations Of capital and
labor.
"A more intimate relation between
the people and government by wise
adaptation of the principle of the initia-
tive and referendum.
"The safeguarding to every citizen in
every place under the government OF
the people of the United States of all
the rights guaranteed by the laws and
the constitution.
international arbitration; and de-
clare that our nation should contribute
In every manner, consistent with ma
tiona dignity, to the permanent estab-
lishment Of peace between all nations.
"The reform of our divorce laws, the
final extirpation of polygamy and the
total overthrow of the present shameful
system of illegal sanction of the social
evil, with its unspeakable traffic in girls,
by the municipal authorities of almost
all our cities"
"We declare ourselves in favor of
recognition of the fact that the right
of suffrage should depend upon the
mental and moral qualifications of the
citizens.
