PROHIBITION PLANK LOST.

The history of the lost prohibition
plank would make a side splitting
comedy. Some seid it was in; some
said IL was not. Some claimed that 1t
was put in and lost out and ought to
have been read when II wasn't. One
member of the committee wrote out
minority report. and then went of
to his hotel instead of presenting IL
to the conycntion. He sent it by an
outsider to a delegate who was afraid
to present it, because nc was going
to make nominating speech and
feared he would hurt the candidate.
They all with one accord began to
make excuses" No one seemed dis
posed to do the natural and easy
thing. namely. bring 1t into the con
vention and have the mistake cor
rectcd. And this is the convention OF
a party that has claimed a monopoly
of high purpose and conscientious en-

they will not accept cash bail from

bail whatever. After they have been

proven to be alien enemies they should
be confined in jail until deported. If
