State Convention.

Adjutant General w. w. Sale, when
asked yesterday regarding his attitude
toward the proposed Democratic State
Convention for the purpose of enunci-
ating party platform, was not dis
posed to take any side in the matter
stating as his reason that he had given
the matter but little serious considera-
ton at this time.
III is a question of serious import"
said he, land one which to decide must
have much elaboration. l have heard
and read views given out by several
of our leading Democrats favoring
the convention, in whose judgment I
have great confidence, but, personally,
would rather give the matter more
thought before expressing myself
In case convention Is decided
upon, the question of prohibition
would be paramount one to be de-
clded, and plank in the party plat
form either for or against this issue
would, | think, be improper at this
time. The Democratic party would
necessarily have TO conduct a cam
paign either fayoring or opposing pro
hipitlon and IN the community where
prohibition is strong, If the Democratic
eandldate be against it, the result
might prove disastrous, while where
prohibition was not favored and the
party candidate favored it. the result
would be the same
