Hinsliaw Calls Convention;
Seeks Burial Place For
John Barleycorn.

lAncoln, Neb., July 21.-CallinS the
thirteenth ~quadrennial convention Of
b Prohibition party to order here
this morning, Virgil G.. Hinshaw
chairman of the Prohibition national
COMMITTEES, told the delegates they had
come together to select a burial lot
for John Barleycorn." The other po.
liticAl parties, he said, out Of respect
to Johns relatives have voted that he
shall lie in state for another four
pears to be viewed by the American
people.
The Democratic platform Is silent,

the Prohibition national chairman con-
tnued. Harding owns brewery stock,

with the supreme court of the United
States, n recognize openly and
avowedly the settlement OF this ques-
ton. The other parties have failed.
What shall we do?"
turning TO measures otner tnan pro-
htbition which the party had cham
pioned, Chairman Hinshaw said. GAS
we assemble here for the thirteenth
time In ffty-one years we do so with
a realization that we have had part In
more than one battle and for the So
luton of % than one problem.
While we have been a party with an
eye single to the solution of one great
problem we nave at the same time
aimed at the solution and reached the
solution of many problems.
For example, we stood for woman
suffrage In 1872, which was forty years
before the progressive party was born
and forty ear before any other party
assumed the same position. We advo-
Gated civil service reform the same
year and thus preceded the Democrats
by four years and the Republicans by
twelve years. We championed the di.
rect election Of U. S. senators in 1872
The Republican party never cham.
pioned that issue and the Democratic
party not until 1900 or twenty-eight
years thereafter.
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1920-07-21

I'VE favored two cent letter postage
in 1872 and thus beat every other po-
litical party to that proposition by the
space of teen yeAr1. We stood for
international arbitration in 1896. the
Republican party did not advocate 1t
until 1904. or twenty-eight years
thereafter and the progressive party
not until 1912, or thirty-six years
thereafter. We opposed lotteries ana
gambling in 1876; no other political
party ever opposed such in platform
or in convention.
I'VE went after the land grabbers
and SPECTATORS in 1876 and thus beat
the Republican party to It By eight
years. and the progressive party by
thirty-eight years. We have opposed
polygamy since 1876; the Democratic
party v opposed that institution
in national platform or convention.
We have opposed the white slavet raf-
fc since 1876; no other political party
ever opposed that institution in either
national platform or convention. We
have advocated uniform marriage and
divorce laws since 1888; no other po-
litical party has ever championed that
issue in national platform or conven-
ton.
I'VE have stood for income tax
since 1896: the Republican party new
er favored it and the Democratic party
not until 1908 or twelve years there
after. We opposed child labor In 1908
and thus beat the progressdves to it by
a period of four years. We favored the
conservation Of natural resources In
1908 and thus beat the Democrats and
p~rogressives by our years.
"As a matter Of fact, we have pre-
ceded every other political party of
Importance, Democratic, progressive
or Republican. in the championship of
every vital issue during hfty-one
years Of history. Haven't we been
some party? What would the Ameri-
can people have done without U

Whatever else we may remember,
let US remember this-that we have

1869. No other political party has ever
championed that issue in national
platform or convention.

hibition. war prohibition, or national
prohibition.
For example. the Prohibition party
called a convention Of two thousand
delegates in the state Of California in
November Of 1918 and launched a
campaign for California dry against
the eager protests Of the conservative
vas followed by a second ~cAAlpaisn
and by q third campaign. In the last
campaign California ratified and at
tho same time defeated the Rominger
wine and beer bill by an overwhelming
majority"
After mentioning several other state
campaigns, Chairman Hinshaw con-
tinued, TN 1918 the Prohibition party
it was in conjunction with the National
Dry federation that launched a cam
paisn for war prohibition. after the
same had been defeated bA the inter-
position of the chief executive Of the
land. We got chambers Of commerce,
Commercial clubs, oranges and church
organizations all yer the land to Pc
tition both houses Of congress for this
measure. The Prohibition party it was
that furnished the man in the person
Of Charles H. Randall to frame the
war prohibition bill which passed both
houses Of congress and became a Law.
Tho Prohibition party 1t was that
furnished the man in the person of
Mr.. Randall to become the author of
the law prohibiting the transportation
Of liquors and liquor advertising from
wet territory into dry territory.
THE Prohibition party furnished
the paper and printers ink in the
campaign for ratification In 1918
which reached q million and forty-sev-
en- thousand homes. The Prohibition
party 1t was that adopted the slogan
war prohibition in this session of con-
gress and ratification Of the federal
amendment within twelve months.
This slogan in its two-fold sense was

servative who said the slogan was un-

Cites Instance.

He cited an instance OF one property
owner In Middle Tennessee who rcmon-
strated because his assessment had
been increased ten times under the new
law. This man, the governor said. told
him that for Years his farm had been
assessed at 81 600. while this year 1t
was assessed at $4,000. The man
readily admitted that the farm was
actually worth 500 and when he was
shown that the present assessment was
not wrong, but that the old assessment
had been too low. he agreed that the
error was not g new one. but very old.
Some counties Of the state, he said,
had received more money from the state
than they actually paid into the treas
ury. He pointed our that the tnequali-
ties as practiced had resulted in these
favored counties enjoying a court sys-
tenn, having their insane and blind chil-
dren cared for, and other state priv
leges, without costing them one cent.
This tax was borne, he said, by other
counties OF the state.
Gov Roberts refrRined throughout his
address from personal attacks upon his
opponent and confined himself to a
frank discussion of the issues OF the
campaign and with reading from the
record the attitude Of Col. Crabtree.
