equaled enormlty. subversive of the
ordinary objects of government, not
capable of being regulated or restrain
ed by any system of license whatever,
but imperatively demanding for its
suppression effective legal prohibition
both by State and National Legisla-
ton.
& That in view of this. and inasmuch
as the existing political parties either
oppose or ignore this great and para
mount question, and absolutely refuse
to do anything toward the suppression
of the rum traffic, which is robbing the
nation of its brightest intelIects, des-
troying its material prosperity, and ra-
pidiy undermining its very founda-
tons, we are driven by an imperative
of duty to sever our connection
with these political parties, and to or
ganize ourselves into additional Prohi-
bition Party, having for its primary
object the entire suppression of the
traffic in intoxicating drinks.
4. That while we adopt the name of
the Nations al Prohibition Party, as ex-
pressive of our primary object, and
while we denounce all Reputation of
the public debt, and pledge fidelity to
the principles of the Declaration of In
dependence and the Federal Constitu-
tien, we deem it inexpedient to give
prominence to other political issues.
S. That a Central Executive Commit
tee of one from each State and Terri
tory and the District of Columbia, be
appointed by the Chair. whose duty it
shall be to take such action as in their
judgment will best promote the in
terests of the party.
