We demand IN amendment tn the constitu-
ton Of our State TO. ever prohibiting the manu-
facturc and sale OF intoxic ting liquor as bev-
erage. We are una!tS.aliy opposed to the
enactment of laws hat propose by license, tax,
or otherwise, to regulate the d ink traffic, be-
cause they progee for its continuance and At
ford no protection against its ravages. We hold
that the proper attitud o. all good citizens
coward this tianc Is one OF uncompromisinl
hostility: that the trends Of prohibition should
not suffer theniscl ,es to De controlled by either
OF the old lar.iet, becaise tines pa. ties have
