TO TIE FRIENDS OF TEMPERANCE, Law, AND
ORDER, IN THE UNITED STATES
The moral, social and political evils of ia
temperance, and the nOn-eniorcement of the
liquor laws are so fearful ard prominent, and
the causes thereof are so intrcnched and
protected by governmental authority and
party interest, that the suppression of these
evils calls upon the friends of temperance ;
and the duties connected with home, religion
and public peace demand that old political
ties and associations shall he sundercd; and
distinct political party, with prohibition
OF the trallic in intoxicating drinks as the
most prominent feature, should be orga-
niZcd.
The distinctive political issues that have
for years interested the American people are
now con paratiycly unimpOrtant or fully set
tied, and In this aspect the time is suspicious
for decided and practical effort to over
come the dread power of the liquor trade.
The undersigned do therefore earnestly in
vie all friends of temperance aRd the en-
iorcement Of law, and favorable to distinct
political action for tho promotion of the
same, 10 meet in general mass convention.
IN the city of Chicago, on Wednesday, the
llrst day of september, 1869, at eleven

for distinct political action for Temperance.
