WE ARE A PARTY.

The revised laws of Minnesota, 1905,
are supposed to be the flower of the
capacity, ability and acumen of the
Republican politicians of this state. A
law was passed by the legislature in
which, on joint ballot, there are practi-
cally eight Republicans for each one
of all the opposition; but we have
heard not less than half dozen Re-
publican attorneys state that the new
code was absolutely unintelligible and
two of these lawyers were men Of
recognized ability, who hold high Of
fetal position in the Republican
party.
The Prohibition party State Com
mittee purchased a copy of the code
and Immediately went to work to find
out if possible what it's standing under
the law might be. In the very open
ing sentence came the definition of a
political party. It was absolutely
unintelligble. In a friendly suit in
every assistance to get at fair and
liberal Interpretation Of the statute,
the Ramsey county decided that the
Prohibition party is party under the
new code in every subdivision Of the
state. This decision means that the
Prohibitionists enjoy every right under
the law that is enjoyed by any
other political organization. In all
cities and towns where there are
more than two precincts the Prohibi-
ton party is entitled to one Judge Of
election in each voting precinct, the
same as is accorded to the Republican
and Democratic organizations.
| AS we understand the interpreted
ton of the law, the only parties that
can qualify on these terms are the
Republican, Democratic and Prohibi-
ton parties.

PLATFORM OF THE PROHIBITION
PARTY OF MINNESOTA.

Adopted at Minneapolis, March 8, 1906.
ing among men l Of all I parties in behalf Of
cleaner government, and because or the
new purpose to capture the seats OF legis-
lation which is now thrilling our ranks
the Prohibition party of Minnesota, as
Sembled in convention, makes the follow
ing declaration of principles:
l. We demand the repeal of all laws
or sale of alcoholic beverages, and the
substitution therefor of state and national
legislation utterly abolishing them. The
union of all enemies of the Liquor traffic
in a political party unequivocally COM
mitted to the enactment and enforcement
of such legislation is the only method of
accomplishing the desired result We in
out the saloon by counties.
2. Widespread graft and corruption of
public life menace the stability of our
most insidious and prolific parent of all
graft. The elevation of the Prohibition
party to power will put the government
in an attitude of hostility to every form
of corruption, wrest it from the control
of private and selfish interest, corporate
greed and bossism, and bring the people
again into the possession Of their own.
8. We recognize the danger to popular
government in the growing power of cor
porate, wealth. trusts and combines. We
favor legislation that will curb the power
Of the railroads to regulate railroad rates.
The public must either rigidly control or
own the means Of transportation and
communication. We belieye that the is
suance of passes to public officials is
bribery and should be prohibited by law.
We favor the removal of the tariff upon
goods manufactured by trusts. We heart
lily commend President Roosevelt because
of the brave stand which he has taken in
relation to rate regulation and other re-
forms, but we deplore his silence on the
liquor question
4. We favor the initiative and refer
endum
S. We favor just laws in behalf of the
laboring classes.
6. The right of suffrage should be con-
ditioned upon intelligence rather than
sex.
7. We renew and emphasize the de-
mand which the Prohibition party has
made since the beginning of it's history
for the election of United States senators
by popular vote.

- N'O OF q new
line of effort and usually with the
ability to carry the idea to success and
sometimes to enlist still others in the
work involved. And the end is not
yet.
Observation-Disclosures.
The other impressive fact which
we desire to mention is the pressing
need of laborers for the kinds of labor
named above-for fields already occu-
pied in part, and for fields which we
are not yet entering for lack Of help
ers. We suspect that many take it
for granted that every post of duty
is manned fairly we'll, that all branches
OF the work are being cared for pretty
we'll and therefore that what they
could do would not add materially to
the total result. This is far from be-
Ing the case. Many specific effort
as, for instance, the acceptance Of
the offer of state committee to send
a certain able speaker to community,
falls through because some one per-
son fails to add his measure Of time
and grit to what a few other faithful
workers are willing to do. Too fire.
quently a committee fails to meet or,
meeting, to do it's work, because one
worker was not at his post or was
slow to assume responsibility. And it
is not an unheard of thing, by any
means, that a splendid leader of
larger or smaller number loses cour-
age and drops back into the ranks or
out of the ranks for the lack of the
support which very few-sometimes
one, OF his comrades might have given
him.
An Instance.
So often, at State Headquarters, in
spite of the vast amount of work be-
ing done there and a-field, our leaders
say to each other, 20 for more labor
ers!" There was recently proposed a
new line Of effort which has received
the enthusiastic approval of everyone
to whom it has been mentioned. It
is believed that it would produce re-
suits as great or greater than any
plan HERETOFORE devised. It would
reach practically everybody and in a
most effective manner But it would
require considerable of somebody's
time here and over the state and
some money. We have neither the
workers nor can we spare the money
at present. So it must wait. Verify
the fields are white and those who
are at work are already singing their
joyful harvest songs. Does all this
mean anything to you?
