The platform then was adopted as presented and a recess was taken (ftpeelal Plipatch to The Journal) Columbus, Ohio, July 18. Nothing of Importance was accomplished at th first day of the Prohibition national convention yesterday. Th convention worked under a temporary organisa tion and, after receiving .th reports of the committees on rules and creden tials, and naming th members of th various committees, adjourned until to day. Surmises were rife as to the probable choice for the presidential nomination. Maryland, Illinois and Ohio .all had favorite sons on whom they wished to see the mantle descend. Robert II. Patr ton, temporary chairman of the conven tion, electrified the dlegata with a phllllplc directed against the position of the Democratic and Republican parties toward the llauor nuestion. The soeecr) has started' a steadily growing boom for Patton. In part, the speech was aa follows: i Kits th Republicans. "I believe the personal liberty plank of tho Republican platform was In serted Intentionally to satisfy th liquor people, who have been satisfied ever since Its adoption. In order to make sure of that matter, I wrote to the au thor of that platform. Wade Kills, of this city, attorney-general of Ohio, and the gentleman who met In conference President Roosevelt and Mr. Taft, and was directed to prepare the draft of the platform. On June 23, I received the following reply to my letter from Mr. Ellis: " 'I have your letter of June ?J. and find nothing In the sixteenth plank of the platform of 1872 which Is Inconsist ent with good Republican doctrine. Yours very truly, WADE ELLIS.' "In my oplnlon. Mr. Ellis has told the truth, and, there is nothing inconsistent in this plank with good Republican doc trine, but If that Is true, the time has come for the anti-saloon vote In the Re publican party to cease ratifying that kind of Republican doctrine. Especially Is this true when we remember the re lation of Mr. Taft to the prohibition Is sue, his friendliness ana cooperation with the great brewer boss politician of Cincinnati, familiarly known every- Ither of these platforms, th Dem ocracy hav do siaotlv as did th Republicans, and, by renfllrinlng, hav piaoea tneinivs wner may nav stood ever since 1 8 7 . on th side of to enemies of your bonis or mine.

I hold In my hands absolute proof that Lincoln was In fa vor of the prohibition of th liquor traffic. On January 2D. 1858, Mr. Lin coln, In company with SS other eltlien of Hprlngflelil, listened to a radical pro hibition sermon and afterward In writ ing requested Its publication." The decided Impression made by th speech of Chairman Patton resulted In an almost Immediate movement to make him the presidential nominee. The In diana delegation Inaugurated the boom.
