Chicago, M.-r Millions of Prohibition Ropubll<-ar.n who looked with hope to rise party's national convention at CtiS 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. IMS Aapwbtrcaa Platform om Liquor Qwootio*.

Wbetter or not this plauk referred directly, among other pronouncements, to tbe Raster brew era' plank of 1872 Is definitely shown latte following correspondence between Robert H.

Mr Robert 11 Patton, Springfield. 11l : Dear Sir-I have your letter of June 21 and find nothin* In the sixteenth plank of the platform of IS7S which Is Inconsist ent with good Republican doctrine. Yours very truly, WADE B. KLUS. 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.
