the golden rule combine to testify against the
traffic in alcoholic liquors q drink,
and the homes Of America which are the cibadels
OF patriotism, purity and happiness, have no
enemy relentless the American saloon.
Therefore, as citizens Of the United States,
| irrespective Of sect section, but having
deeply at heart the protection Of homes, we
! do hereby respectfully and earnestly petition,
| you to advocate and adopt such IN easures as arc
requisite to the end THAT prohibition Of the i'm
portation, expectation, manufacture and sale
| of alcoholic beverages may become all
Integral part OF the national constitution, and
| that your party candidate shall be by character
! and public pledge committed to d national pro
| hibitory constitutional amendment, lSigncdl,
