THE CANDIDATE.

The very best men in the party in the
district should be chosen for Legislative
candidates. Due consideration should be
given to their acquaintance, to their bust
ness reputation, to their capabilities as
speakers, organizers and campaigners. 1t
would seem that no man ought to be
nominated who could not devote at least
the last two weeks of the campaign to
continuous and vigorous personal cam
paign work. He should drive over the
district, accompanied by, speaker, if he

school houses Of his district

LEGISLATIVE TICKETS.

This state is divided into sixty three
legislative districts. Each Of these dis
tricts is entitled to choose one or more
representatives at the coming general

on the official ballot. This is to be paid
to the county treasurer, if the district
lies wholly within one county, or dis
tributed equally among county treasurers
in case the district is composed of more
than one county. In addition to this
fee, each candidate must have a petition
signed by not less than 10 per cent. of
the voters of his district Crowded that

We are surprised and chagrined
that the majority of the National Com
mittee should allow themselves to be
so easily handled, but our mortifica-
ton is greatly lessened by the fact
that they have been led into their mis-
take by their love of peace, their 10y

interest in the welfare of the party
and the great principles for which it
stands.

THE WINNERS

With all that central committees and
candidates may do, the man who can do
the most, and by whom we will win
when we do win, is that man who, in his
own precinct, button holes his neighbor
and makes 1t his business to carry that
one voting place for the Prohibition nom
inee. There ought to be a precinct cap
tain In every precinct who is burning
who will take it upon himself to conduct
a vigorous handto-hand, face-to-face
campaign in his precinct, personally, and
without pay. Upon him the district COM
mittee ought to rely for the arrangement

No state senators are to be elected this
year.
In many legislative districts it will be
wise to nominate only one candidate, and
make a fierce fight for him.
The choice of the campaign committee
is a most important matter. The chair
man should be man of vigor, capability
and energy. Busy as he may be, he
ought to be one willing to sacrifice some

Certain Prohibitionists, who are
also ardent admirers of General Miles
as a soldier and man, continue to
boom him as a prospective presiden-
tial nominee on the Prohibition ticket.
The general himself, however, in re-
cent interview on the subject, talks
about Temperance" and speaks of us
as the Temperance party" and ad-
vises that we postpone our nomina-
lions until after the other parties
have made theirs in order that we may
first see whether their candidates and
platforms are satisfactory to us. That
settles it. General Miles will not be

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

We care little where the National
Convention shall be held, but we think
the National Committee made blum
der and did Kansas City an injustice
when it changed the location to Ind
annapolis. We cannot see wherein
Kansas City failed to meet any condi-
objection was made to the change of
location by considerable number of
Prohibitionists, especially by State
Committees and other Prohibition
leaders, the Executive Committee
should have been the first to desire
re-asse1nbling of the National Com
mittee, especially since the four mem
bers of the Executive Committee who
favored the change Of location we're
from the first in favor of some other
place than Kansas City. We regret
to be compelled by self respect and
respect for the Prohibition party to
say that some of the statements and
appeals regarding this matter which
have gone out officially have been
puerile if not contemplate. Some
arguments advanced to sustain the po-
sition taken by the majority of the
Executive Committee were more
worthy of a pettifogger than of a man
of such brains as leads our host. The
repeated suggestion that anyone who
dared to express a view contrary to
that of the majority of the Executive
Committee was disturber and de-
sired the disruption Of the party was
outrageous.

GARMENT WORKERS
 TO DISCUSS CHARGES

Buffalo, N. Y., Aug 24.-The con- vention of the United Garment Work CTS of America was continued to-day. President Larger's report included a letter from former General Secretary Henry c. White. denying in full and explaining in detail the charges against him of having disobeyed the orders of the general executive board; :; neglect of official duties in time of strike, writing and publishing articles derogatory to the union and espous- ing the cause of the employers. MT White holds that these charges are invalid generally, because they are based upon section of the Gar ment Workers constitution, which could not be applicable to his case, and that no specific case of his is mentioned that would make him lla- ble under the section referred to.
 Consideratio of MT Whites case was made special order for to-mor- TOW.
