setts last year. addressed the conven-

''virulent cancer in the body polite to-
day." he declared. at must be cut out
II democracy is to survive"
He said:
For the first time the dominant
parties were this year, CHALLENGED to
put the prohibition of the traflc in
alcoholic liquor in their platforms and
they refused: In doing so. they ad-
in the minds of the people. and il in
cluded would subordinate all other is
sues to itself.
The prohibition party stands not
only Tor the prohibition Of the liquor
| tramc in state and nation. but we
challenge comparison Of our platform
with the platform of any other po-
iitical party. 1t deals not with past
great progressive reform that our ma
tlon must adopt II she is to hold her
place of pre-eminence in the great in
dustrial contest that will follow the
present war in Europe, and meet the
| social demands of our people in time of
peace 1t Is the genuine progressive
party. We were pioneers in the re-
| form. and stand pledged to equal suf-
frage. for equal suffrage is a necessity

ballot. the citizens only legitimate wea-
pom for offense and defense, must be

may protect her own
First Article of Preparedness.
| Prohibition should be the first article
in any adequate plan for preparedness
Tor peace or war. The liquor traffic
puts more men on the scrap-heap than
all other Institutions combined. wave
of passionate Indignation and horror
swept over our country when the news
OF the Lusitania massacre arrived; but
We receive without a protest the fact
that every week in the year the legal
ized liquor traffic sends as many men
and women reeling out of life into a
drunkard's hell. leaving behind them a
train of poverty. insanity and crime.
AS a political problem. the saloon
has no rival 1t is the arch-conspira-
argument is that laws prohibiting 1t
cannot be enforced. 1t corrupts the
| civic conscience, and Is the virulent
cancer in the body polite today. 1t

Plans to Win Votes Of Women.
| Florence slown Hyde of Chicago, who
has had charge of the work among
women in behalf of the prohibition
party, outlined plans for the campaign
to win the women's votes, in an address
before the convention today. Mrs
Hyde said, in part:
! Il want to emphasize that we are
facing presidential election in which
100000 women have the privilege of
| voting; that these women and the
women of the non-suffrage states are
| being organized continually as women
In behalf of every kind of political
propaganda. That the women's organ
izations of various kinds are being
taken into consideration more and more
by politicians and Office seekers: that
women are, for the time being, at least
going to band themselves to work for
the changes in government which they
want as women; that the first consid-

of justice.
| There is no doubt that a major
! ity of women are against the liquor
traffic and would give to prohibition
their first consideration if properly
organized.
I'm our educational propaganda
among the women we must recognize
the other issues for which our platform
will undoubtedly declare. and show
them that the other things which they

candidates. In the first place We have

| thirdly, we should emphasize that we
stand not only for giving the ballot to
women, but for giving her a chance
to help administer our government.
| Mrs. Deans Address.
| That women. if they will. may find
the remedy for what is wrong in town,
city or state government, and aid in
applying that remedy, was declared to-
| day by Mrs. o. W. Dean of Chicago,
who spoke before the women's con-
ference at the prohibition convention.
Mrs. Dean is chairman of the wom-
| ans National Prohibition Federation
executive committee. and in speaking
| to the theme Woman in Politics"
| touched on the huge expense which,
| she said, the liquor traffic caused Chi
cago, quoting a Chicago judge as her
authority. She referred to repeated
arrests of victims of the liquor habit
and the burden which their arrest and
detention put on community.
Woman in politics can change all
this" said Mrs. Dean. Let us make
| laws that will make of our corrective
institutions educa .ional ones as well,
and when an individual has to be cor
rected many times during the year that
he be obliged to remain in the institu-
tion long enough to learn a trade or a
knowledge of some kind of work that
will enable him to earn an honest liv-
