Committee on Resolutions made thu
following
REPORT:
ReSolced, That at no time has the cause
of temperance called more loudly than a
the present for the united and judiciou
efforts and counsels of its friends.
Resolved, That in view of our presen
position we are forced to the conclusion
that to agitate the question of prohibiting
the sale of spirituous liquors for medic
nal and mechanical purposes, is calcuIa
led to endanger the whole of our prohib
tory law and place US at the mercy c
our opponents.
ReS0lced, That our present system c
electing County Commissioners results i
a want of uniformity in enforcing tn
law; therefore we will use our inhuenc
in favor of change of the law in thi
particular, and recommend that the Gov
ernor with the advice of the Senate al
point and commission commissioner fc
each county.
ReSOtred, That we recommend a care
full enquiry and strict supervision owe
that part Of the law requiring agents t
furnish pure liquors for medicine.
ReSolued, That our laws for the su,
preston of intemperance are worthlet
unless duly enforced; therefore we wi
hold every good citizen responsible f
his acts in this matter, and to this Ell
will support no man for an office of tru
p in town, county, or state, who has n
+ proved himself true to temperance priI
ciples, and can be relied upon in the e
4 forcement of our prohibitory law.
Resolved, That as law abiding citizel
we deem every man an enemy to Il
J. welfare of the state, who knowingly al
p wilfully aids or abetS the violation of Il
5 law enacted for the purpose of protectiI
!, the rights of COMMUNICATIVE depende
wife and mother, and their children fro
: the brutality and misery inflicted by
S temperance; and to this end we again 7
h new our pledge to labor and toll, trusti
it in the justice of our cause and in t
D." strength of Him whose hand guards t
= right.
