An almost desperate effort on the
part of william A. Taylor, Prohibi-
ton candidate for United States SEN
ator and editor of The True Ameri-
can" the official organ of the Michi-
gan Prohibitionists. to interest the
delegates in the purchase OF stock In
the paper took up about two hours
at the prohibition convention, Friday
afternoon, and was one Of the features
OF the session. Mr.. Taylor preached
his scheme Immediately after the con-
vention had adopted a platform which
declared against the watering OF cor
poration stock His plan was to or
ganize a $4,000 corporation to run
the paper. He offered to subscribe
for half the amount himself. In part
nership with his son, and asked the
friends of prohibition to take the bal
ance. The principal asset Of the pro-
Losed corporation is $4,000 subscrip-
tons to the paper.
After much extortation, Mr.. Taylor
succeeded In disposing Of 1886 worth
Of stock among the delegates. II was
hard work, because the delegates had
already subscribed $500 to the cam
paign fund In response to an eloquent
appeal by Oliver w. Stewart, of Chi
cago, one of the leading prohibition
spellbinders of the country. Mr.. Tay-
Tor frankly admitted that he proposed
to have control of the corporation,
but he pointed out that he and his
son would also do all the work.
It was after o'clock when the
convention got down to the principal
business of the convention, the NOM

dates named above all having been
