1t is said that a movement is on foot
to have adopted a rough draft of
1912 platform which would deal with
current conditions politically, tariff,
and other things as well as the basic
principle of abolishing the legalized
liquor traffic.
Among those here are John Russell,
aged 81, temporary chairman of the
first convention, and Prohibition vice
presidential candidate in 1872, who ar
rived from Boston yesterday, and John
P. ST. John of Kansas, 76 years old,
