500 remperanoo Union

The Annual meeting Of the State Tenn
perance Union was held IN Topeka No
vember 18th. The following resolutions
we're passed;
WHEREAS, The principles and aims OF
the State Temperance Union have been
emphatically endorsed by the people OF
the State in the recent election IN the
overwhelming rejection Of the present
OccuDant of the Executive chair, and
thus placing the seal of popular con-
6emDation on his unlawful usurpatiOn
of power, and the exercise Of Executive
clemency in behalf Of convicted saloon
keepers. We congratulate the Frohlbl-
tiOnists of Kansas on this evidence OF
the growth and strength OF sound Tenn
Dersnce sentiment, and recommend the
adoption of the following resolutions:
ResOlUsd That the Democratic party
of Kansas, by adopting an anti-pTohibi-
ton platform, and making an aVOWedly
prohibition campaign, have made 1T
impossible for consistent prOhlbitiOnlsts
to give il their support so long as 1t re-
tains its present attitude.
ResO'Ued That the Republican party Of
Kansas, by adopting a platform that was
satisfactory to the mass Of prohibitiOnists
and State Officers, and 8 Legislature
pledged to the required enforcement of
the Constitution, ''tO the end that the
full effects of prohibition may be real
lied. i" has done all that reasonable pro-
hibitionists should demand, and is at
this time entitled to the cordial support
F of Temperance men.
Resolved. That as long as the attitude
of the two leading parties IN this state
remain unchanged, we are unutterably
opposed to the formation or maintenance
of an Independent Prohibition party,
and we cordially invite all to unite with
us.
ResolUed. Such an expression of public
opinion in favor of enforcement of the
! law and against all persons and parties
whose influence has INSTRUCTED such en-
/ forcement, that we express the hope and
/ expectation that all officers Of the law
will vigorously discharge their duties.
! The fifth. sixth and seventh resolutions
are mplimentary to A. b. Campbell,
urging renewed work in favor of moral
suasiOn, and that this Union join with
