all other tradcsmen are restricted by law to
six.
Resolved, That we denounCe the Dow
law, because 1t practically puts every cltl-
zen of our state into partnership with the
saloon business. aud provides for the repeal
of the fourth commandment while II
affords no practicable protection against the
evils OF the drink traffic.
Resolved, That We sympathize with
| the working men OF this country in their
efforts 10 improve their condition and recOg-
niZe their right to unite for mutual protec-
tiOn. We congratulate them on the prompt
ness with which they denOunce the Anarch-
! lists and Socialists in their destruction of
/ life and property and call attention To the
| fact that they can not afford to compete
with pauper labor produced by the liquor
business. We further call their attention
to the unchallenged fact that both the denI-
Ocrat and republican parties are pledged To
/ to the perpetuatiun OF the ravageS Of the
I saloon.
