The Prohibition Party
What II Stands For. Why Merely
'sGOOd Man" Will Not Do.

The Prohibition party stands for
justice for labor. 1t also stands 1or
the death of labor's worst enemy, the
liquor traffic, by the only sure method
= immediate total prohibition by
party pledged to enforce it.
The Prohibition party stands for
law enforcement. 1t also stands for
the common sense of depriving OF
state protection and sanction the one
most dangerous and powerful law
breaker of the land-the legalized
liquor traffic. 1t will not cease it's
fight on this public enemy until the
trade" is dead.
The Prohibition party stands for
the principle that the right OF suf-
frage should depend upon the mental
and moral qualifications of the citizen.
It also believes that the annihilation
of 24O,000 saloons, now protected by
the United States, would do more
than any other single thing to raise
the standard of those qualifications
and insure clean elections.
The Prohibition party stands for an
expert omnipartisan tariff commission
that will fix import rates to suit the
people and not the trusts. But it
also believes that there should be a
fixed tariff on all intoxicating liquors
that will absolutely stop their impor'
tation and paddock so fixed on
every saloon door in America that it
cannot sell damnation to the people
for price.
No Republican and no Democratic
candidate tor Legislative qr executiye
office can by any possibility represent
the principles of a Prohibitionist. He
may be "good man." He may be
'better man" than his opponent II
some respects; but the principles
which he represents regarding the
greatest of all political questions are
principles absolutely contrary tc
those held by Prohibitionists. And
the Prohibitionist who votes for
Democratic candidate or for Repub
lican candidate, is voting against his
own principles-voting that what NJ
believes shall not be adopted as thu
policy of government.

Mayor Jones' Candidacy
And the Attitude OF the Prohibition Party
Toward II. The Policy Approved

The crusade of Mayor Jones against
law viOlators has started the query,
what will be the attitude of the Prohi-
bitiOnists of Minneapolis regarding his
denomination and reelection? While
this can not be determined officially
as vet, conference of leaders has
practically settled it, The Prohibition
party will put it's own candidate in the
field, as usual. If Mayor Jones Sc
cures a denomination by the Republi-
cans at the primary election the Pro
hibition candidate will be withdrawn
and Mill city Prohibitionists will do
their level best to elect him.
The party could not keep out OF the
field altogether since, in case of the
defeat of the Mayor at the primaries,
we would be without a candidate. Nor
could we properly, or even legally, aid
his cause in the primaries. The law
requires each voter at the primary
election to declare his political affilia-
tions. In order to legally support the
Mayor there, our men would need to
declare themselves Republicans. In
fact, unless the Prohibition party has
legal standing at the primaries OF
given city or district in given year,
PrOhibitiOnists have no business to
take any part in them. To do so
even to help a friend, is either to de-
sert their party or to commit perjury.
The position of Minneapolis Prohibi-
tionists is approved by reformers and
politicians alike. While carefully pro-
! tecting the interests of their own or
ganization,. they. have proven them
! selves broad-minded reformers, more
anxious for the success of the princi-
pies for which they contend than for
the glory of victory.

4. The shoemaker and tailor should
vote for Prohibition, to stop the drunk
ard from covering the faces OF his wife
and children with shame, and to help
him to cover their feet with shoes, and
their backs with good clothing.
5. The carpenter and mason should
vote for Prohibition, so that they may
have to build more and better houses,
and fewer jails and poorhouses.
6. The wage-earner should vote for
Prohibition, to increase the demand for
the products of all useful labor, with

wages.
Z. The minister of religion should
vote for Prohibition, because, If the
grog-shops were closed, the attendance
at church would be better, the collec-
tions would increase, and large num-
ber of persons would be converted to
God
8. Everybody should vote for Prohi-
bition who wants to see better times,
better wages, cleaner politics, greater
opportunities for labor, more and bet
ter schools, higher public morality,
and a community growing in all the
elements which go to make great and
free people.

A True Reform Party
It's Platforms Voice the Pressing Needs Of
the Nation. Minnesota Platform.

The Prohibition party has been,
from the beginning, as broad as the
needs of the nation The saloon is so
related to most evils-being the natu-
raj home of many and the main in
spiration of many, that if the platform
of the party included no planks ex-
cept those which have reference to the
saloon, it would still be broader than
that of any other party in existence.
But the vision of the Prohibition
party is still broader than this. With
the prescience of statesmen and the
courage of reformers it's founders
swore it at birth to the championship
of several important reforms, num-
Der of which, like anti-polygamy and
the election of United States Senators
by direct vote, have since become
popular.
The state platforms of the party
have possessed much the same charac-
teristics as the national While they
have emphasized local issues, they
have often endorsed and sometimes
repeated the utterances of the nation
al conventions on national issues.
Minnesota has always been strongly
inclined toward a broad platform, even
when, for a time, there was an in
clination elsewhere to limit platform
declarations to a few issues. The
platform of this year meets the issues
of the hour ProhibitiOnists will do
well to suggest the careful perusal OF
it's seven planks to any good citizens

Why Vote for Prohibition?
Eiqht Classes OF People Who Should Vote
Against the Saloon.

Who should vote for Prohibition? in
uuires the Scottish RefOrmer," and
then gives the following answer:
1. The farmer should vote for Pro-
hibition, to increase the demand for
grain that would follow the increased
consumption of bread under Prohibi-
tion.
2. The wool-grower should vote for
Prohibition, to increase the demand
for wool that would follow the in
creased call for clothing under Prohi-
bitiOn.
3. The butcher and baker should
vote for Prohibition, to hasten the day
when money, which is now spent in
whisky and beer, shall be spent in
beef-steaks, mutton-chops and bread.

STATE PLATFORM OF THE PRoHIsI-
TION PARTY.

Adopted at Minneapolis, March 8, 1905.
Glad and thankful for the recent upris-
ing among men of all parties in behalf OF
cleaner government, and because of the
new purpose to capture the seats OF leg1S-
lation which is now thrilling our ranks,
the Prohibition party of Minnesota, as
sembled in convention, makes the follow
ing declaration of principles:
1. 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 a enemies OF sne m1aGF traI13c cn
mitted to the enactment and enforcement
of such legislation is the only method of
accomplishing the desired result; we o in
out the saloon by counties,
q. 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
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.
g. 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 transportatlon and
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.
Z. We renew and emphasize the de-
mand which the Prohibition party has
made since the beginning OF its history
for the election of United States senators
by popular vote.

WE WON!

In a friendly suit against the Secre-
tary of State to determine the stand
ing Of the Prohibition party under the
New Code, Judge Lewis of the Ramsey
District court filed a decision that the
Prohibition party was entitled to have
the names of it's candidates placed on
the official ballot in every district,
county and territorial subdivision in
the state.
