Columbus, O., July 14.-What will
be the largest national political con-
ventiop of the year, in point of num-
Der of delegates, will begin in this
city tomorrow and will nominate ma
tional ticket and adopt a platform on
which the foes of the rum demon will
stand in this years campaign. A large
proportion of the LISP delegates have
arrived and the wire-pulling for the
presidential nomination has already
commenced. State delegations and the
various committees will meet this
afternoon to transact preliminary bust
ness The intercollegiate Prohibition
Association will hold it's ortorical
contest this evening, when elocution-
lists from all over the United States
will launch ortorical broadsidea at
the saloon, Cash prizes will be award
ed the winners.
The convention will be formally
called to order at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning. Memorial Hall will be the
scene of the gathering and has been
deliberately decorated for the occa-
sion, temperance emblems, scripture
quotations and anti-saloon notices be-
ing sandwitched in between flags and
bunting. The delegates will be seated
on the main floor of the hall, with the

$50 newspaper men.
Among the presidential candidates
mentioned are Seaborn Wright, of
Georgia; Alfred Manierre, a New York
attorney; DR.. w. B. Pelmore, editor of
the St. Louis Christian Advocate; Fred
F. Wheeler, Los Angeles real estate
minister of Texas, who has been promi-
nently identified with the prohibition
movement, and Judge S. A. Artman,
of Lebanon, Ind, who came into promi-
nence about year ago by legal de-
decision in which he declared that the
granting of the saloon license is illegal
Apparently majority of the lead
ers believe that it would be better to
nominate for president man who has
become prominent in the anti-saloon
work while holding office under one
of the old parties. Among these is
Seaborn Wright, prominent Georgia
politician. who, as member of the
Georgia legislature, was largely re-
sponsible for the passage of the pro-
hibition law in that state. Wright
has many boomers and will likely have
the support of all the southern dele
cations.
National Chairman Charles B. Jones
is confident that the Prohibition party
will poll larger vote this year than
ever before. An exceptionally large
campaign fund is expected and the
money is already flowing into the cof-
fers of the party in an unprecedented
manner. Many millionaries of promi-
nence, it is said, have contributed to
the fund. Campaign literature will

An Unusual Situation.

President Castro, of Venezuela, is an
unique person who has compelled the
United States to set unique inter.
national precedent. After defying sew.
eral European governments by acts
which would have caused war but for
the Monroe doctrine, he has ended by
equally defying the country to which
he owes its safety.
1t is wholly out of the question that
the State Department should have adj
vocated anything but what was right
We are not in the habit of bullying
smaller powers. The proof of this
was furnished when we severed our
diplomatic relations with the pugnaci.
Gus president of our sister republic
without adopting the consequence of
such action, viz, Of resorting to CON-
pulsion.
asHaile our South American
friend has embroiled himself with one
of the smaller European nations, Hol-
land, which owing to its West Indian
possessions and their trade is greatly
interested in Venezuela. 1t has a navy
II small, and if it should decide to
employ these war vessels in bringing
Castro to adopt its views, how can we
apply the Monroe doctrine in the alb
senee of diplomatic relations?
1t may be observed that the Monroe
doctrine applies only to the occupation
or taking possession of American soil:
but it is this very occupation, although
it may be but temporary, that is nee
essary to bring Castro to terms Nc
one supposes that the president of Ven
ezuela would remaia on the coast DUR
ing bombarbment; he has plenty of
places where he may find greater safe
~.
Taken altogether, the situation is
highly interesting because it may place
us in a position where other and more
dangerous precedents may be establish
ed. The outcome will be watched with
deep concern, here and abroad
