; - Platform OntU&sd.
r The platform presented br the reso-
Jutlons committee provides for the sub

to th constitution of th United States,
absolutely prohibiting the manufacture,
sale or transportation of all alcoholic

also declares for the following:
For woman suffrage.

(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

"lroin the fact thht Mr. Hryan re
cently In a public Interview confessed
to voting; and making anoeohea to de
feat constitutional prohibition in his
own state, from the fact that In his
campaign wpeeches- In Oklahoma h

he has recently In ah Interview tried to
make thla appear as a mere local Issue
and not a natlonul one. what hop hav
we that he and the Democratic cartv
win give any ani in me causer
Place aloncHlde the attitude of th
Republican party since 1871 th well
established views of Abraham I,lncoln
on this question. 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.

The body is then deprived of its necessary nourishment and strenjrth, and is
unable to resist the countless disorders that assail it, and the general system
suffers in conaeauence. The aooetite fails, dieestion is weakened, chills
and slight fever are frequentfwhile the sufferer loses energy and ambition.
Boils, skin eruptions, and some times sores and ulcers follow when the
blodd becomes deeply polluted with the malarial germs. Both a tonic
and blood purifier are needed to cure Malaria, and S. S. S. is best fitted for
this work. - It is the most perfect of all blood purifiers and at the same time
an invigorating, healthful tonic. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation,
and removes every trace of impurity or .poison, and gives to the blood the
health-sustaining qualities it needs. It cures Malaria thoroughly and per

produce the disease, and while doing this tones up and strengthens every
