H pEoH1B1oIoN MEMORIAL
Mr.. Donnan of Iowa presented the follow
ing memorial, which, after a long discussion
was read by the secretary:
We, members of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union of the states herein represented
by The signatures of our officers, believe that
while the personal habits of the nation can be
largely restrained by an appsal to to the intel
lect, through argument to the heart, through
sympathy, and to the conscience through the
motives of religion, the traffic in those poisons
viii be best controlled by a prohibitory law. We
DciicSc tle teachings OF science, experience ana
the golden rule combine to testify against the
traffic i'll alcoholic liquors as a drink,
and the homes of America, which are the citadels
OF Patriotism, purity and happiness, have nc
enemy so relentless as the American saloon.
Therefore, as citizens Of the United States,
irrespective of sect or section, but having
deeply at heart the protection Of our homes, we
do hereby respectfully and earnestly petition
you to advocate and adopt such measures as are
requisite to the end that prohibition Of the i'm
p0rtation, expectation, manufacture and sale
Of alcoholic beverages may become an
Integral part of the national constitution, and
that your party candidate shall be by character
and public pledge committed to a national pro-
hibttory constitutional amendment. lSignedJ,
Francis L. Willard, president; Caroline .. Buell.,
corresponding secretary; Mary A. Woodbridge,
secretary: Esther Pugh, treasurer.
