THE PROHIBITION CONVENTION.
A Silver Plank Received With Cheers
From the “Broad Gaugers.”
PITTSBURG. May 29. —At the Prohibi-
tion national convention the committee
on platform presented two reports to the
convention. The majority or “narrow
gauge” report declares its agreement
with the United States supreme court that
statistics of every state show more crime
and misery from use of ardent spirits
than from any other source; that liquor
dealers corrupt legislation and make good
government impossible; that the party is
unalterably opposed to the drink traffic
and declares for its total suppression for
beverage purposes, rejecting all compro-
mise measures, whether license, local op-
tion, taxation or public control. Wage
earners’ attention is called to the enor-
mous waste caused by the liquor trafiic at
the cost of production, and that the suc-
cess of the prohibition party will remove
this great burden from industry; that
they stand for good government honestly
and economically administered; that there
is no greater peril to the nation than the
competition of political parties for the
liquor vote and calls upon voters to en-
force the declaration of the churches
against the liquor traffic.
The minority report which was pre-
sented by the broad gaugers has the follow-
ing declaration on the money question:
“That all money should be issued by the
government only and without the inter-
vention of any banking association. It
should be based upon the wealth, stability
and integrity of the nation and should he
a full legal tender for all debts, public and
private, and should be of sufficient volume
to meet the demands of the legitimate
business interests of the country' and for
the purpose of honestly liquidating all our
outstanding coin obligations. We demand
the free and unlimited coinage of both sil-
ver and gold at a ratio of 16 to 1 without
consulting any other nation. ”
Other planks in the platform declare
against the manufacture or sale of intoxi-
cating liquors for beverage purposes, and
favor equal suffrage for both sexes, gov-
ernment control of railroads, and the elec-
tion of president and vice president by
popular suflrage.
Governor St. John presented the minor-
ity report, and moved that it be made a
part of the majority report, and that the
whole should be considered section by sec-
tion. A motion to lay the minority report
on the table was then made, but defeated
by a vote of 492 to‘ 310. This was a test
vote and was regarded as a signal victory
for the “broad gaugers," or silver men,
who cheered vigorously.
The first seven planks, including the
one favoring woman's suflrage. were then
taken up, and as they did not difi'er ma-
terially in either report, were adopted.
