mot acrimonius debate The result OF
this debate was motion to advise
Judge Parker that the convention was
willing to abide by his reservation on
the money question: Judge Parker S
telegram to the convention was as fol

II regard the gold standard as firmly
and irrevOcably established and
shall act accordingly if the action of
the convention today is ratified by
the people. Inasmuch as the platform
is silent on the subject I deem it nee
essary to make the communication to
the convention for it's consideration,
as should feel it my duty to decline
the nomination except with that un-
derstanding."
The reply, adopted by vote Of TIA
to 1911, was as follows:
"The platform adopted by this con-
vention is silent on the question of the
monetary standard because it is not
regarded by us as a possible issue in
this campaign and only campaign is

The Prohibition Party's Intemperanc

The Prohibition Party's Intemperance'
1t is a curious fact that those VINO
preach intemperance the most strehu-
cusly are Oftentimes the most iInteili-
perate of people; and by being intern
perate it is not that they are cohtih-
ually scorching their threats with merry
rotations, but that they often fail 10
practice sobriety in mind and language.
At the Indianapolis convention of the
Prohibition party. last week, the pre-
siding officer, n man named Castle OF
PENNSYLVANIA, sounded the keynote or
the campaign for this particular one
of the various third parties, ana ms
speech was characteristic of prohibition
TRADES. He sneered at PRESIDENT
Roosevelt as a "despoiler of every trust
except the whiskey trust" He spoke
that gentleman, as well as his
two brothers, his father and grand
publican ballot. He described the DEL
eeates to the Chicago convention as
that crowd of inane e-cOllared men"
and the delegates to the st. Louis con-
yention as that crowd of uncaged
hvenas." He also scolded the United
States Senate for its failure to eXpel
the "much- married Smoot," although
even Prohibition orators should have
known that Mr.. Smoot is not charged
with having more than one wife, what
ever may be his abstract opinions of
polygamy.
These samples are a fair indication
officer of the indianapolis convention,
which was received with uproaruOus
the newspapers. A party under such
leadership, and with such distorted
folly and bigotry, and while it does no
particular harm to the country except
ing temperance people away from the
party where they might possibly be of
some help to the temperance cause, it
certainly does no good, and the decline
in the Prohibition vote in recent years
is not at all to be wondered at. Four
years ago the party's candidate for the
Presidency, whose name was WOolley.
we believe, received 20S,000 votes, and
it is not at all likely that Mr.. Swallow,
the Pennsylvania editor preacher
whom the party has nominated this
year, will get as many votes as that.
