DeDS always has held decided opln-
ions of his own, and sometimes as
boy these were the despair of his teach
ers. His schooling, by the way. never
amounted to much. The Socialists
candidate was born at Terre Haute,
Ind, where he still lives, Nov. 3, 1855.
He became locomotive fireman and
then got a job with a wholesale grocery.
While thus employed he organized the
Emersonian society and succeeded in
landing the position of city clerk of
Terre Haute. which he held from 1879
to 1888. Having resolved on 4 political
career, he planned to go to the Indiana
legislature and was elected for two
years. Meantime he had been grand
secretary and treasurer of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen, an office
he held from 1850 to 1898. He was
president of the American Railway
union from 1898 to 1897 and chairman
of the national council of the Social De-
mocracy in 1915
SEIDEL A HUSTLER
Emil Seidel, the vice. presidential
nominee, was elected as Milwaukees
Socialist mayor in 1910 and was de
feated for reelection this year. His
vote was 10000 against 1912 for his
| opponent, DIR. G. A Bading.
Seidel is a born hustler. When his
campaign itinerary was mapped out
| Ii was said that it would cause him to
travel a distance of $4,000 to sc, 900
miles Starting at Cincinnati July 81,
| he has been on the go continuously,
and his last speaking engagement is in
| New York city the Monday night be-
fore election day, Tuesday, Nov. 5.
Seidel was born at Ashland, Pa,
Dec. 13, 1864. He was the founder of
the Socialist organization in MiIwau-
kee, nominee of that party for gov
ernor of Wisconsin in 1902, Milwau-
kee alderman In 1904 and alderman at
large in 1909. Then he was elected
mayor of Milwaukee, being the first
/ Socialist to be placed at the head of
an important municipality. Nilwau-
kee made a clean sweep of that cleo
| Socialists. The triumph put new life
in the party, and Seidel's career as
mayor was followed closely all over
the country. The mayor and Victor
l. Berger, famous Socialist leader and
active in his party's campaigns. said
/ it was not personal victory for Sci
| del but rather a vindication in the
minds of the Milwaukee electorate OF
the principles of their party.
/ In spite of the impression which
] some people get from Seidefs touseled

State wide prohibition prevailed in sew
en- other states at that time-North
Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi. Tennes-
see, Oklahoma, Kansas and North Da-
kota.
Brigadier General Neal Dow was the
father of the Maine movement 1t was
he who in 1851 drafted the first severe
" prohibitory law of the state. He
did not rest there, but was in the fore
front of the fight over all succeeding
prohibition laws, which eliminated in
the constitutional amendment of 1854.
That amendment came up for con-
sideration after Maine had tried state
wide statutory prohibition for over a
quarter of a century. 1t was proposed
by the SiXty-frst legislature and sub
mitted to a test vote on Sept. 8, 1884.
1t was overwhelmingly approved, co.
7S3 persons voting for it and only 3D.
S11 against it Governor ROBBIE issued
a proclamation in regard to it on the
following Dec. 3, and the amendment
actually went into effect in January.
1885. 1t prohibited the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquors. not in
Guiding cider, but legalized the sale of
liquors for medicinal and mechanical
purposes and for the arts.
Prohibition has won in other states
besides those mentioned, but has not
held its strength Various leaders of
the movement have urged that the
name of the party be changed. At the
national convention last July such sug-
gestions We're made, but failed of ac-
ton. 1t was a coincidence that one
name suggested was the Progressive
party Others favored the Liberal par
ty and still others the Conservation
party.
