First-The Prohibitionists of Hennepin
county in convention assembled do hereby
declare their allegiance to the Prohibition
Home Protection party of this State and
nation, and hereby pledge the party our
hearty support.
Seoond-We are, as ever, fully convinced
that nothing short of the entire prohibi-
ton of the liquor traffic as beverage will
remedy the great evils of intemperance,
opposed to any license regulations, know
ing it to be an utter failure in suppressing
these evils.
Third-That high license as policy in
relation to this traffic has proven itself
delusion and snare, and has nothing
whatever in it to benefit the cause of tenn
perance or the interests of the country at
large, and we do hereby discard it as one
of the false compromises which the enemy
is ever throwing in the way of prohibition
and national progress.
Fourth-Believing that prohibition
as political principle demands the
efficient aid of a political party, we do
therefore by our meeting together to-day
and the nomination of ticket place our
selves right before the people on this ques-
ton. The report of the committee was
adopted.
