at any time in the past, mean to keep those
honest men, just where they have kept them
in other days, fast under battened matches,
pulling at the sweeps. They will use them
for what they are worth in fighting for vic
tory or in trading victory for profitable
defeat, but they will no more dream of let
ting those men name the issues of the cam
paign at Denver than they have dreamed of
letting the same element of the party control
it in the past.
True, the Prohibition movement could
bring great strength to the Democratic party
and strength of kind that it sadly needs.
Morally it is bankrupt; in enthusiasm its
last asset went to protest long ago. Could it
take possession Of great moral movement,
bringing to it's ranks some hundreds of
thousands of enthusiasts, the result would be
like remittance from home to bankrupt
prodigal.
But what can it give in return? It's or
ganization is almost worthless; its moral
standing is a debt rather than an asset; it's
leadership in Chicago and New York and
the places of it's national power, is breath
of poison.
Could the Democratic party gain posses
sion of the Prohibition movement at its COM
ing convention in Denver, it could suck out
of it certain amount of valuable life-blood
and would cast its mangled remains on the
ash heap of forsaken political issues, just
as it cast away the remnants of the Populist
movement, after it had exhausted all of the
life and vitality that were therein.
It is a most significant fact that during all
these months of Prohibition agitation that
man who may, perhaps, be conceded to be
the greatest of Democratic leaders, the man
who, up to the present hour, seems more GER
tain of the Democratic nomination for the
Presidency than any other man, has gone up
and down the United States, talking con-
stantly, and has never once indicated a
realization of the existence of a Prohibition
movement.
Let us at once and forever, disabuse our
minds of even the faintest expectation that
any help for the Prohibition cause is to come
from either the Republican or the Demo-
cratic parties; let us face now the fact
which is just as much fact today as it will
be in August-that in the coming campaign
both of these parties will stand solidly ar

of local Prohibition, will be fastening to
purge themselves of any suspicion of being
other than ''good'' Democrats and 'good"
Republicans by fighting to the utmost
against national Prohibition.
Let us recognize, now, what we will recog-
nize next August and during the weeks of
the campaign, that whatever Is done for the
Prohibition cause IN the campaign of 1908
must be done By the Prohibition party; }; that,
