The Prohibitionists of Lackawanna
county held their annual reunion and
county convention at Nay Aug park
yesterday, nominated candidates for
congressman, orphans' court judge and
county commissioners, adopted resolu
tions, nnd heard addresses by Rev. S. C.
Swallow, D. D., of Harrisburg, candi
date for governor; Attorney Lee L.
Grumbine, of Lebanon, c.uulldute for
lieutenant governor, and ex-Mayor E.
D. Nichols, of Wilkes-Barre.
The ticket named to be voted for at
the November election was as follows:
For congress Edwin S. Williams, of
Scranton.
For orphans' court judge, Charles E.
Bradbury, of Scranton.
For county commissioners Gomer D.
Reese, of West Scranton, and George
W. Biesecker, of Newton.
The county committee selected was:
Rev. James Fielding, of Scranton,
chairman; E. F. Altemose, of Dunmore;
Edwin S. Williams, of Scranton; John
F. Lacoe, of Newton; William J. Em
ery, of Wimmers; Maxwell D. La
thrope, of Carbondalc; Conrad F. Sny
der, of Scranton; J. F. Hangl, of Scran
ton; B. G. Morgan, of West Scranton;
W. W. Lathrope, of Scranton; George
H. Pearl, of Moosic, and J. C. Bailey, of
Chinchilla. The committee was au
thorized to name such others who will
act in places not already represented.
THE RESOLUTIONS.
Tho resolutions adopted were as fol
lows: Tho Prohibitionists of Lackawanna
county. Pa., in convention assembled, at
the city of Scranton, Aug. 29, 1002, do do
claie as their platf6rm, in asking the
suppoit of tho Christian voters of this
county, that tho whole whiskey business,
whether licensed or not licensed, Is bad
through and through, and that whether
our candidates nominated today aro
elected or defeated, or aro given many
votes or few, we pledge our individual
and aggregate opposition to such business
until such time as tho citizens at large
say by their ballot "the saloon must go."
Committee Charles L. Hawley, B. G.
Morgan, J. C. Bailey.
It was intended that the convention
should be held In the morning, but on
account of the limited attendance, tho
business was postponed until the after
noon. Addresses were delivered In the
morning by Attorney Charles L. Haw
ley, W. W. Lathrope and Rev. Messen
ger. Tho Indies of the W. C. T. U. served
luncheon on the grounds, and the
formal exercises of tho day were com
menced about 2.30 o'clock, with a song
by the Loyal Crusaders of West Scran
ton, under tho direction of Gomer D.
Reese. A large crowd had by this
time assembled In and around the
pavllllon.
W, W. Lathrope acted as chairman
and after a few words of Introduction,
presented Dr, Swallow, the Prohibition
candidate for governor. Ho began by
thanking the people of Lackawanna
county for the magnificent vote they
had given him for governor In 1898, and
he said ho had never been able to un
derstand how It was done. Ho had
tried to aualyizu It, but failed signally.
Ho was content, however, to thank the
people personally for tho work done
at that time, and hoped they will do so
again at the November election.
MARKED ENTHUSIASM.
He said there' is marked enthusiasm
all over tho state to carry the Prohibi
tion standard higher, and then called
to mind the time when ho was a boy,
living In ono of the suburbs of Scran
ton, when his grandfather called this
city Slocum Hollow. He contrasted
thut period with today, nnd congratu
lated his hpurers on the magnificent
city which has been built up, nnd the
Industrial, religious, social and educa
tional progress that hus been achieved.
Continuing he said:
I havo a distinct recollection of Scran
ton, when all that could be seen of it
from tho Hyde Park Heights wuh a wil
derness, broken only by tho old red
brldgo and a dozen humblo residences.
How strange tho contrast of your present
population of more than 100,000 and your
ever- enlarging coal, railroad, manufac
turing nnd commercial Interests.
1 giently deploro with you tho present
strike umong the miners. Strikes are al
ways to bo avoided if possible. The pres
cut ono affects all the business, financial
and even social nnd moral Interests of
not only tho anthracite coal regions, but
remotely of tho civilized world.
Given tho same opportunity for Its ex
ercise, anil labor and capital will provo
themselves funnily intolerant. I um well
aware that the anthracite coal owncis
have for a scries of years had a hard
Btrugglo, but havo they not themselves
largely to blame for theso untoward cir
cumstances? The railroads have become almost ex
clusive owner:) und operators of tho coal
mines. They huvo vloluted criminally the
stato constitution, which forbids common
carriers from entering Into unfulr compe
tition with their shipping patrons by be
coming producers of tho commodities
shipped.
WHAT THEY DID.
Then, because these rullrouu have a
monopoly of the anthracite coal business
nnd had tho power to do It, they havo
obmpellcd the miners to trade at a loss
In corporation stores, extorted from them
In the weighing of coal nnd the purchaso
of powder, and then discharged them
when In other years they struck, and loft
them to starve by hiring cheaper labor.
The strikes loft tho consumers without
a supply. Then they ntlnpted their fur
nace hearths und stoves to other kinds of
fuel, Just as steam plants of all kinds ure
now adapting themselves to the use of
olMind other fuels.
Not only so, but these carrying cor
porations have nppolnted agents through
the states to handle their monopolized
product nnd have worn them to not sell
below a certain figure. They have thus
attempted to fix the price of the raw
material, of the labor to produce It. and
of the finished product, without any re
gard to the great law of supply anil de
mand. They have done more nnd worse by set
ting the miners and laborers an example
of outlawry, which Is anarchy, that theso
men very naturally Imitate when the war
between capltnl nnd labor Is fairly on,
nnd brute force tnkes the place of brains
and conscience and the golden rule.
In such n conflict, for the present, capl
tnl has the advantage by falling back on
the military arm of government, but if
these conditions continue nnd the elrclo
of conflict widens, nnd the general pub
lic U forced to interfere for its own pro
tection, tho day is not far distant when
capital will be the greater sufferer.
Compulsory arbitration may prove to be
tho panacea for these Ills. If so, It finds
its analogy In the trial by jury for the
settlement of Individual differences.
Should not aggregations of individuals
be compelled for the general good to thus
peaceably adjudicate their differences.
Let biute force end. Let brain and
heart nwl right and righteousness domi
nate, nnd again shall be established a
reign of "Peace on earth and good-will
to men."
ABOUT ARBITRATION.
In explaining his reference to com
pulsory arbitration, Dr. Swallow said
that It Is one of the planks of the Pro.
hibitlou party, and believes It will et
prove tho proper means of settling the
difficulties In the anthracite regions. If
there should be a conlllct between capi
tal and labor that will justify military
Interference, he believes It will be clue
to tho men who use strong drink.
Let every speaker and writer emphasize
tho importance of keeping sober in t'lla
conflict. My sympathy is with tho labor
ing men. I know their struggles, nnd I
wish they would all lead sober lives,
what is wanted Is a common basis on
which we can stand, so that tho questions
of tempernnce can be argued which are
not understood.
We must not denounce one another: it
Is natural to find fault with others and
overlook our own failings. I do not find
fault with the Honor seller, as he Is the
agent of the government, authorized by
the stnto, but we must wipe out the law
that gives them permission to sell Intoxi
cant.
The sDeakcr then dwelt at some
length on tho question of politics, nnd
arraigned Pennypacker, Quay, Penrose,
Elkln, Pattlson and others from a
political standpoint. His remarks were
attentively listened to, and were greet
ed with much applause.
Ex-Mayor E. D. Nichols, of Wilkes
Barre, wus then introduced, and said It
was "the hercules of truth that nomi
nated Dr. Swallow for governor, and If
voters realize their duty to their state
they will vote for him and the whole
Prohibition ticket."
MR. GRUMBINE'S REMARKS.
Leo L. Grumbine, Prohibition candi
date for lieutenant governor, was the
last speaker. He showed the Import
ance of the suppression of the liquor
traffic as a political question, meas
ured by any standard of Import
ance, whether financial, social, eco
nomical, moral, Industrial or any
other, and then urged the right of the
question to on Immediate and promi
nent place on our political calendar,
from which It Is kept with determined
purpose by tho politicians of the license
parties by fulso nnd less Important Is
sues. Ho contended that old-fashioned tem
perance teaching along moral lines
would never cure society from the
plague of drunkenness, so long as so
ciety deliberately cultivates drunken
ness by law. It was a question of totol
abstinence. Total nbstlnencc nlono
would never bring nbout prohibition.
We want prohibition to mnko total
abstainers. All a man needs to be a
prohibitionist and an enemy of tho sa
lon Is to see the polltlcul truth that the
legalized salon Is great political and
social evil, resting upon a license law,
supported by the government and ad
ministered by parties put in power by
majorities.
It was not a question of furnishing
substitutes for tho saloon. The Ameri
can home is tho best substitute, It Is
a question of abolishing tho Republican
and Democratic substitutes for tho
home. It Is not a question of whether
wine may not be a good thing under
rertaln circumstances, but whether tho
saloon Is a good thing under any cir
cumstances, THE CONVENTION,
Tho convention was afterwards held,
and W, W, Lathrope was made chair
man; W, J. Wlntermute and E. p. Al
temose, secretaries. The nominating
committee consisted of B, a, Morgan,
Scranton; m. O, Abbey and Pierce But
ler, of Carbondale; W. J, Emery, Wim
mers, and G, W. Biesecker, Newton.
The following committee was named
to select tho county committee; E. F,
Altemose, Dunmore; R. H. Campbell,
Scranton; A. B, Clay, Elmhurst; Amos
Washer, Dunmore; I, p. Lacoe, New.
ton,
Tho candidates for the four leglsla.
live districts will be selected and an
nounced later. Mr, Lacoe, of Newton,
declined tho nomination for county
Commissioner. A vntn nt thnnlra tvn
tendered Peter Stlpp for stopping tho
ynnu organ on tho merry-go-round
while the speeches were being delivered.
