Chicago, M.-r Millions of Prohibition
Ropubll<-ar.n who looked with hope to

cugo on .1 one US are bitterly disap
pointed over the failure of the Repub
lican platform to recognize or fuvor
In any way the demand for the pro
tection of Prohibition territory Irom
tiie Interstate liquor traffic.
Despite tbe fact that many promt
nent Republican temperance men ur
p*ntly demanded by letter and tele
gram tlie insertion of a plank express
ing friendliness with any measure sim
ilar to the Littlefield lull which was
rejected by the last session of con
gress, the platform is ulisolutely si
lent upon this great national Issue, but,
o:t the other band, uffronts the entire
Prohibition forces of the land with a
direct reaffirmation of the party’s fa
mous platform pledge and league with
tiie brewers tlrst adopted ut its presi
dential convention of 1872.
The Republican party in its iwesl
dentlal convention of 1872 pledged its
national support to the brewer* ngathat
Prohibition and Sabbath observance
in the famous sixteenth plank of its
known as the Raster resolu
tion. v
This stand was openly indorsed by
the liquor forces of the nation, and
every national Republican platform to
1908 since 1872 has Impliedly reef
firmed this plank.
In 1888 the Republican party spe
cifically reiterated the substance of the
Raster plank.

What th* Raster Plank Mean*—How
• the Brewers Indorsed It.
Tbe Raster resolution, known as tbe
sixteenth plank of the Republican na
tional convention platform adopted at
Philadelphia. 1872. reads as follows:
The Republican party propose to re
spect the rights reserved by the people to
themselves as carefully as the power*
delegated by them to the state and fed
eral government. It disapproves of the
resort to unconstitutional laws for the
purpose of removing evils by Interfering
with the rights not surrendered by the
people to either the 9iate or national
government.
Mr. Herman Raster of Chicago was
the member of tbe platform committee
from Illinois and prepared and secured
the adoption of this plank in tbe plat
form. In explanation of Its meaning
be wrote tbe following letter:
Chicago. 111.. July 19. 18(72.
J. M. Miller
Dear Sir—ln reply to yours of July 9 1
have to say that I have written the six
teenth resolution of the Philadelphia plat
form and that It was adopted by the plat
form committee with the full and explicit
understanding that Its purpose was the
discountenancing of all so (tailed temper
ance (prohibitory) and Sunday laws. This
purpose wa# meant to be expressed by
refe#ence to the rights of the' people
whloh had not been delegated to either
national or state governments. It being
assured that the right to drink what one
pleases (being responsible for the acts
committed under the Influence of strong
drink) and the right to look upon the
day on which Christians have ttielr pray
er meetings as any other day. were among
the rights not delegated hy the people,
but reserved to themselves.
Whether this explanation of the moan
ing of the resolution will satisfy you I
do not know, but as you want to serve
the cause of truth no do 1, and what I
have said here In regard to the true
meaning and Intent of the sixteenth res
olution of the Philadelphia platform Is
the truth. Very respectfully yours
HERMAN RASTER
Oh the same day In which this Ras
ter nnt I-Prohibit ion plank was adopted
the United States Brewers’ association
in national convention Indorsed the lie
publican party. aup[>orted It at the
[tolls and at Its next convention. June
1, 1873. at Cleveland. 0.. gloried in its
triumph, which lTesident Clausen
voiced in these words:
“The (a*t [(residential election has
shown us what unity among U 9 can do.
I.et our votes and work in the future
be beai'd from hi every direction.”
When the Republican Platform Com
mittee Insulted Frances Willard.
The nearest that the Republican par
ty ever came to adopting a Pmblbtlon
plank was in 1884, when Fra lives E.
Willard, president of the National Wo
man's Christian Temperance union,
made an eloquent plea before the com
mittee on resolutions of the Republic
an convention. Miss Willard's appeal
was turned down with Jeer anil insult,
her written appeal literally trampled
underfoot.
In 1888 similar presentations were
made before the Republican national
convention by temperance Republicans,
but provoked even less attention.
In the last moments of the conven
tion of 1888, four days after the adop
tion of the platform, the following res
olntlon was hurriedly presented by C.
■V, Doutelle and adopted without oppo
sition:""
The first oonoern of all good govern
ment Is the virtue and sobriety of the
people and the purity of five home. The
Republican party cordially sympathises
with &U wise and well directed efforts for
the promotion ot tempwrandh and moral
ity.
This was adopted Jana 2S, 1888. and
on July 10, 1888, Bon fort’s Wine and
Spßlt Circular, the leading organ .of
the liquor trade in the United States,
commenting on this resolution, de
clared:
"And. pray, who withholds indorse
ment from such proposition* as this.
In behalf of the wine and spirit trade
we hereby accord this declaration onr
unreserved approval. The man who
would do otherwise would be very apt
to contend that two and two did act
make four.”
This is the record at the national Re
publican party on the Prohibition tasoe
from 18T2 to 1908, inclusive.
