The plank in the platform calling
for a stricter enforcement of the laws,
particularly the prohibition laws, and
asking that ):ersons convicted of sell
ing liquor be given chaingang sen
tences without the privilege of paying
a fine, was adopted without debate, al
though everybody in the convention
unlderstood the political play und1(erly
Ing it. At the suggestion of Delegate
M. '.. WIalcy, of h11e2 licl anid county
court, an amendiment wa s adopt ed
asking the legislature for an aienld
ient to tle judicial code making it
more difticult for lawyers to bring ap
peals upon trivial groids in cr1imi naIl
cases and in civil cases in which the
piblie welfare is affected.
The PIlatform Adopted
It was about 3:30 o'clock when the
platforI was finally adcoted. The
docu(0men t had been pretty well shot
to nieces, but it was still the Evans
platform, as adopted by the Spartan
hurtg coilnty convent ion. Whether In
tentional or not, the platform as sit)
mitted was a direct attack upon cer
tain political leaders and certail po
litical faction, and they have resented
it. Mr. Blease wats not a member ot
the convention, bit 'was in attendance
and was an interested listener. lie had
a number of friends in the convention,

They were somewhat slow and awk- n<

were not backward about exipressing ni
themselves when they did get started. i
iut the platform had antagonized b(
others besides MIr. Blease and his fol- .i

But a woman delegate saved the situa- C
tion by remarking that she believed .Ii
the convention had brains enough to gi
frame a platform of its own iwithout is
adopting one that was out of (late. The is
delegates seemed to think a platform e1
was lecessary, and .went to work to '(

away in the small, weary hours of the 'I

The Race for Governor
The announcement of J. E. Swear

eutenant Governor T. G. McLeod, of
