lows:
WHEREAS, Year after year thousands
of our citizens have petitioned the
Legislature, to take the liquor question
out of the hands of partisan politics
and submit it to the people, and they
have constantly refused, thereby deny
ing us the fundamental principles of
our government, and have compelled
us to take action by which we may be-
come a government of the people and
by the people, and
| WHEREAS, Under the present license
law drunkenness is fearfully on the in
crease, and our courts, instead of pro.
viding a safeguard and against the
earnest and pleading remonstrance Of
our best citizens, are constantly open
ling the food gates OF iHiquity upon us,
and despite the intent of the act of AS
sembly and their repeated decisions
not to increase the number of places
where criminals are made, they are H.
censing three such places in village
of less than five hundred Inhabitants,
and
WHEREAS, All attempts of law to
regulate the evil has shown its falsity
in the past and az an attempt to regu-
late an evil is always an immoral act (;
therefore be it
Resolved, That the only true position
upon which the good citizens can stand
is local option or prohibition.
Resolved, That the only way to Sc
cure this end is by an independent
Legislative ticket.
Resolved, That we declare ourselves
a Temperance Legislative party for the
securing If local option or prohibition
against the liquor traffic.
Resolved, That the County Commit
tee are hereby instructed to make all
necessary arrangements for putting
such tickets in the field and to arrange
for the coming campaign.
Resolved, That the candidates shall
be untrammeled on all questions OF
Legislation except that of Prohibition or
Local Option, and are free in every
other respect, according to their own
political views and partisan relations.
Resolved, That we enter upon 'he
work with the fixed purpose of never
yielding until we have not only secured
Prohibition but such additional legis-
ation az will make prohibition prohi.
bit.
Resolved. Nevertheless, as indicated
by the last action of the Alliance, il
either or both of the political parties Of
the State Of Delaware shall takea salts
factory position on the question in due
time, then the members of this Alliance
hold themselves in readiness to con
slider the e1pediency Of abrogating the
independent action above contemplated
