-emnly swear to make our preparation,
a preparation for peace, harmonized
to every ideal of the Democracy
whose message must not fail, for it is
the hope message of the world. And
we will not forget that Prohibition
spells Preparedness.
"We go forth to champion the un
restricted political rights of womitn
- hood and demanding an ample justice
for little children. And in every ef
fort made for social justice we will re
member that fch:i supreme tangible foe
of motherhood, her mosc bitter er.emy
when she asks for the builot, and the
Judas Iscariot of her sons and daugh
ters, is King Alcohol."
Brief Resume of Mr. Poling's Address
Mr. Poling first described the par
ty's dominant purpose Since its birth,
September, 1309.
"In its first convention the Prohibi
tion p'arty declared wha- it has never
since failed to declare, that only by
capturing the government, the while
government, , can the power of the
liquor institution be finally broken.
Not until the three branches of our
government, judicial, legislative, and
executive, are brought into harmony
and are directed by one governmental
voice, will National, Prohibition be
come a fact."
As an illustration of what he
termed the impossibility of making
any headway toward National Prohi
bition in the old parties, Mr. Poling
here referred to the campaign now
under way in Indiana, where "among
the names of the prominent Demo
cratic statesmen who are announced
to campaign on behalf of the election
of Thomas Taggart to the United
States iSenate, appear those of four
Congressmen and one United States
Senator who have with courage cham
pioned the Hobson amendment."
Declaring Taggart "an individual
who, if gambling is a crime
ought to be in the penitentiary in-
stead of in the Senate of the United
States," Mr. Poling exclaimed: .
Taggart Attacked.
! "The Indiana picture will be copied
, before two years have passed, in
every state of the Union where the
liquor traffic is a controverted issue.
Men who desire to he politically hon
est, who have political convictions
that are not purchasable by either
1 gold or silence, will find themselves
compelled to fight as some are al
ready fighting, for the committal of
' their parties to Prohibition.
I Turning to the claims of the Pro-
; hibition party to the support of the
Progressive voters. Mr. Poling de
tailed the fact that his party was
"the first to declare for woman's suf
1 frage, for civil service reform, for di-
rect elections, or two-cent letter post
1 age, for international arbitration,
against lotteries and gambling, for
uniform marriage and divorce laws,
for a non-partisan tariff commission,
t for an income tax, against child labor,
i for the conservation of natural re
sources, against the white slave traf
fic, and for National Prohibition."
And because of this record and be
cause of the official dissolution of. the
"Progressive party," Mr. Poling
added:
' "As you speak today, so speaks to
morrow, hy whatever name known,
the Liberal party of the United
States. We cradle here the child of
Freedom's higihest hopes."
Turning to the issue of war and
preparedness, Mr. Poling said:
"The Prohibition party faces a
changing world. Pessimism cries, 'a
dying world,' but out of this death
will como life. A new world is in
process of construction.
"God is teaching lessons to the
children of men, lessons reserved to
no people or tongue, lessons that
many nations are copying in blood,
end tfhkit we must arouse ourselves to
learn if we would avoid chastening.
"We have discovered War. We
thought him heroic; we know him now
as thrusting boys against bayonets;
we see him riding forth, not ; on a
gaily caparisoned steed, but on the
back of womanhood; we thought him
honorable; we find him snatching the
savings of the poor, laying a mort
gage on the possessions of the child
still in the womb, and- tearing up
treaties. We though him chivalrous;
we find him fouling the bed of virtue
and prostituting motherhood, to make
young for his cannon. He has lost
j his clean coat in the trenches of
. Flanders, the honors we pinned upon
his breast are buried beneath the
ruins oi reigium, ana me stands naKea
today on the shores of the lakes of
East Prussia and on the plains of Po
land. We painted him a connoisseur
of art, and as a respecter of the work
of genius, but the smoke of Rheims

"But in the human mortgage war
places upon its unborn generations,
the world counts its greater losses.
Wur limitq the future rather than
checks the present. Let those wor
shippers of Mars who point with sat
isfaction to the stupendous struggles
of Nature whiahJ do seem to overcome
the handicap of war's residue of in
feriors and weaklings, remember that
it is not so much what the race is as
what it might have been. I see not
the young men slain. I see the mil
lions of potential fathers destroyed. I
hear not the wails of the dying. I
hecr the cries of the nover-to-ba-born.
I weep for those who were and are
not, but I mourn for tho.e who might
have been and who never can be.
"The whole world is against war to
day, but where is the sufficient states
manship to show those who grope in
darkness witlhi great lamentations, the
way to peace.
"Militarism protects no institution.
It endangers them all, and with us it
violates the covenants that have
brought us with distinction to this
hour. And it is this preparedness, ad
vocated by selfish financial interest
and thlose who have been Received by
them, that we move against. We de
clare for preparedness for peace; we
announce a constructive program to
the nation.
"And the- preparation that we
pledge our lives and sacred honor, to
quickly give this nation, if elected to
power, is the preparation for peace
that, as distinguished from the prep
aration for war, wihich the dominnnt
parties of tine republic jointly advo
cate, is as different as right differs
from wrong
"We stand unequivocally for the
Monroe Doctrine.
"The financial position of the
United States today is such that when
this war closes, no nation will be able
to finance a new conflict without
American' gold. We are not dream
ers. We announce here a program
vastly more reasonable tthan any pro
gram calling for a battle fleet cap
able of taking the aggressive against
the whole world, and this latter is
the program of certain gentlemen
whose stocks have jumped from 40
to 600 since the present war began,
and who recently declared a dividend
ol 200 per cent.
"We are for peace, and for the pre
paredness on land and sea that will
to the limit of human wisdom and
ability insure it to us, and through us
secure peace for others and for all,
"What then is the fi-st -ite;;!
"The very firsc step in America's
preparedness for world peace should
be an announcement to the nations by
joint resolution of Congress, of our
purposes. This announcement Fhouid

Mr. Poling hero referred to the
fact that James G. Blame and Presi
dent McKinley both urged the realiza
tion of this proposal, winch, however,
has been practically ignored ' y Con
gress and all recent administrations.
"The Prohibition party serves no
tice now that if in power, in such a
crisis, private munition plants will be
immediately confiscated continued un
der government control with a just
wage for labor, a just regard for the
rights of all stockholders, and a fair
return to them. And we here solemnly
pledge, if the temporary chairman
Was read the minds of his comrades,
if he knows their determination, to
move with all possible rapidity to
take private profits out of war. "
Mr. Poling here voiced an extended
arraignment of the Navy league, the
directorate of which, he saidj were al
most without exception representa
tives of firms directly .profiting from
naval expenditures.
Referring to the league's proposal
of a $500,000,000 national appropria
tion for a "larger navy," Mr. Poling
said:
"The Navy league would finance
the cost of naval preparations by
taxes on sugar, gasoline and by other
duties, taxes which the common man
would pay; they would, of course, con
tinue present indirect taxes which the
common man would pay; they would,
of course, continue present indirect
taxes which yield 620 million dollars a
ytar. In other words,, since they
build the ships, they quito generous
ly concede to the farmer and worker
a Bhare in the labor of national pro
lection 'by allowing the working man
to pay the cost of construction I
"The scheme is mean and "worthy
of its promoters. Let the 2 per cent
of the people who own 60 per cent of
our national wealth, rather than 65
per cent of the people who own only 5
per cent of our national wealth, pay
the bill, for the 2 per cent enjoy the
only gains of war.
"If militaristic patriotism runs to
copper and steel in the United States,
and we are inclined to believe that it
does run to S-T-E-A-L, the Navy
league is composed almost exclusive
ly of gentlemen in whose company
Paul Revere would feel like a hired
Hessian.
"No militarist gold will pave the
way of the Prohibition pnrty to pow
er. None of those men sit in these
councils today. We come to the 7100
ple 'with clean hfnd;. '
In conclusion Air. Puling paid this
tribute to the men who supported the
Progressive party movement in 1912:
"For the men of the Progressive
convention who fought a brave fight
and gloriously lost, who lifted their
voiccH in protest against secret high
chambers, who refused to sit quietly
at the feet of political reactionaries,
and who battled without compromise
and who still battle for the reaffirma
tion of the principles that called the
Progressive party into existence, we
have only words of commendation.

"If the gentlemen who followed
Theodore Roosevelt in the last cam
paign, follow still the justice, the
Americanism 'he then proclaimed, they
cannot follow Theodore Roosevelt
now. The terms demanded in 1912
have not been granted; the conflict
begun then has not been finished, and
he is not a safe guide who makes a
new vow in lieu of an old promise un
kept. '
"The Republican and Democratic
parties are 'one party'. Save only
where each indulged in personalities
and where one affirmed what the other
denied with regard to Mexico, their
platforms substantially agree.
"The supreme cowardice of the
leadership of the dominant political
organizations came to a climax in
their equal suffrage declaration.
