THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

The man who is satisfied with the kind of
government which has been administered in
the United States during recent years, per-
haps has every reason to be perfectly salts
fled with the nominations made and the plat
form adopted by the Republicans in their
national convention in Chicago last week.
True, to a sensitive mind it may have been
slightly unpleasant to find the platform
praising Mr.. ROOSEVELT in such unstinted
and almost hyperbolical terms, and to know
that that platform, if not dictated by Mr..
ROOSEVELT himself, verbatim ct hteratim,
was at least prepared under his personal su-
pervision. 1t might, too, have annoyed
man of high moral ideas to see the notorious
"Boss" Cox, over whose elimination from
politics such rejoicing was heard only few
short months ago, again in the saddle and
in apparent control of the Ohio delegation,
and delegate of moral and religious charac-
ter could hardly fail to be shocked at the
abundant patronage which the saloons of
Chicago, and even Chicago's viler resorts, re-
ceived from the representatives of the party
of "great moral ideas"
But all this, from the standpoint of poll

accorded it in the press dispatches but it has

THE NATIONAL PRoHIB1TIoN1sT

SO he might throw them utterly away before
he starts. Let us come in spirit OF brother
hood There have been conventions when we
have met with the knowledge of impending
conflicts. Today there are none in sight. Let
us come believing every other Prohibitionist
as faithful to the cause, as anxious for pub
lie welfare as we, and determined to join in
a union Of wisdom and brotherly love that
shall exalt the cause above every other con-
sideration, and determined that, in every
choice of the convention, whether in candi-
date, official or platform, we will be dictated
solely by supreme devotion to the cause
1t will hardly fail to suggest itself also to
every loyal Prohibitionist that the national
committee ought to be enabled to come up to
this convention on a strong financial footing.
We realize that the months just past have
been months Of money panic, that many
man has found an unaccustomed stringency
in his affairs. We realize, too, that many
Prohibitionists have had heavy claims upon
them for local and other lines of Prohibition
work, but it seems to us that there are spe-
cial reasons why every possible contribution
should be made, every possible pledge paid to
the national committee before the national
convention meets.
And finally, let us suggest that the near
approach of this convention ought to re-
double activity in Prohibition party work
along every line. If your maximum of effort
up to the present time has been-let us say,
fifty percent, double it now In the three
weeks that intervene before the sitting of the
convention let us hold more meetings, make
more speeches, secure more pledge-signers
and find more new readers for Prohibition
papers than ever before in like period of
the party's history

Chicago. June Is, 1908
THE GREAT CONVENTION

The national convention of the Prohibi-
ton party, upon the gathering of which we
have centered so much of hope and expecta-
ton, is almost at hand, and it seems to us
that every Prohibitionist now ought to pause
and thoughtfully ask himself, What can |
do to make that convention the greatest pos
sible success?
There are numerous answers, of which the
first that will suggest itself, possibly, is the
matter of attendance To us it seems of the
highest Importance, not merely that there
should be a good attendance at the Column
bus convention, but that there should be an
attendance which will make an impression
upon the whole American people. Some of
us are perhaps inclined to look upon con-
yention attendance too much as a privilege
and too little as duty. Yet duty it is,
both because great attendance will make the
convention itself, in its work, its nominal
tons and its platform, more valuable to the
party and the cause, and because attendance
will challenge the attention of the whole ma
tell the people ON the evening of the first
day of the convention that that city is liter
ally overwhelmed with hosts of Prohibition
lists that have come down upon it, that the
convention hall is packed to the limit and
overflow meetings being held at half-dozen
points in the city, and that fact, displayed
upon the first page of practically every news
paper in the land, as it would be, will preach
Prohibition more loudly than we have ever
been able to preach it by the speeches and
literature of a whole campaign.
Coupled closely with the thought of at
tendance will be the spirit and attitude of
mind in which we ought to rally at Column
bus. If any man has doubts, if any man has
discouragements, if any man has pessimistic
ways of looking at things, let him salt them
carefully down or put them in cold storage
somewhere and come to Columbus without
them. In all probability he will never need
them again after the Columbus convention,
