follows:
Resolved, That we reafiirm the platform .
and resolutions OF the state platform of !
1855.
Resolved. That the Sabbath is one of the .
chief bulwarkS of free institutions We
therefore demand the impartial enforce
ment Of our present Sunday laws, and the
enactment of such additional laws, with .
sufficiently heavy penalties attached, aS will /
preserve for ourselves and our p0Sterity the
blessings of the weekly rest day which We
received from our torefatherS.
Resolved. That we especially diSapprOye
nt that feature Of the Dow liquor tax bill .
which favurS saloons above all legitimate
branches of business. in that il makes it
possible for saloon keepers to do business
freely for seven days in the week, while
all other tradesmen are restricted by law to
six.
Resolved, That we denounce the Dow
law, because it practically puts every citi-
zen of our state into partnership with the
Saloon business and provides for the repeal
of the fourth commandment while ii
affords no practicable protection against the
evils of the drink traffic.
Resolved. That we SympathiLe with
the working men of this country in their
efforts to improve their condition and recOg-
niZe their right Ia unite for mutual prOtec
ton. We congratulate them on the prompt
ness with which they denOumce the AnaTch-
lists and Socialists in their destruction of
life and property and call attention Ia the
fact that they can not afford To compete
with pauper labor produced by the liquor
business. We further call their attention
Ia the unchalienged fact that both the dem
ocrat and republican parties are pledged To
To the perpetuation OF the ravageS of the
saloon.
