consider him or herself a committee of
one TO push the cause by the circulation
of literature and soliciting the "sinewa
of war" to meet the expenses incident
to the State convention and the progress
of the campaign.
The following series Of resolutions
were adopted:
WHEREAS, The liquor traffic is sane
toned and protected by law, and its
suppression has become the supreme
political, as we'll as moral issue Of the
day, ard
WHEREAS, The Prohibition party is
the only political organization which
favOrs such suppression; therefore, be 1t
RESOLVED, That we Teaffirm our allie
glance to the Natioral Prohibition party
and favor both State aud Ma iOnai con-
stitutional prohibition ; of the impoTta-
tiOn, manufacture ,and ale OF all alco-
hOlic beverages, and the enforcement
thereof by appropriate legislation, ad-
ministered by officials thoroughly in
sympathy with the same.
Recognizing the fficient aid of the
W. c. I. .. In our warfare against the
LIQUOR crime, and to the end of
securing greater purity in our elec-
tions, we earDC silly recommend the early
submission OF the question of wOman's
or, n q Unfn Of tho nnODIn
That all money, coin and paper ,shC0ld
be mate, issued and regulated by the
general government, and should be
legal tender for all debts, public ana
private.
RESOLVED, That we pledge ourselves
to all efforts by sincere men, 10 eYail
feature of the Dow law, and challenge
those who believe In the Law 10 prove
their faith by their works.
RESOLVED, That we denOunce the &C.
tion Of The Legislature in granting le-
gal sanction and protection to the iiq
UOr TIT flic under the gUise Of I KAT on,
as an Open al WilfUi violation Of the
spirit and letter Of plainly expressed
constitutional prohibition of licenee,
and as a defiance Of the will of the pe0
pie as expressed at the ballot box in
the amendment campaign.
RESOLVED, That as three-quarters of
the criminals are the product OF the
LIQUOR traffic, the suppression OF such
trl ffic Ould solve the problem Of cOD-
vlct labor aud the management of penal
institutions.
RESOLVED, That the suppression of
the liquor treffic, which tbsOrbs 60 llTGe
part of the earnings of the people, will
20 very far toward solving the labor
difficulties in thie country.
RESOLVED, That we are in favor Of
haTmOniZing al d. fer nces Of capital
and labor by a biiration, preceded ty sA
honest, careful investigation into sll The
causes leading tC such differences.
RESOLVED, That we are opposed TO
class legislation and the fostering OF
mOnOpolies by law.
RESOLVED, That we are opposed TO the
importation Of pauper labor, and de-
nOunce the same ss pTejudiciRl to the
interests of honest American labor, and
productive Of riot and crime, as evil
denced by the late connections in many
Of our great American cities, and we are
also opposed to the continual manu-
factuTe of pauper labor by the saloons
within our own borders.
RESOLVED, That II Is good law, easOn |
and logic, that all who aid, abet, procure,
hire, counsel, Cr in any other way assist !
in the commission Of a crime are guilty |
of the crime though not present at the |
commission thereof; and, therefore, we |
affirm that all who license, or tax, OF in |
any way favor the continuance Of this |
traffic, and all Legislatures which \
license, and all political parties which |
favor license, and all men who vote for |
partl.s which liceIse, or for parties |
which will not declare for Prohibition |
do make themselves accessory to the |
liquor crime, and equally guilty with |
the nan who carries on the ,Tafic.
