Improbable as q revenue ana UNSUCCESSFUL

South Dakota the prohibltory clause, Wulcn
the people have already written in their pro,

of prohibition. to bring about the complete
triumph of the people of both North ana
South Dakota over the deadly and destructive
liquor traffic.
I've deprecate any legislative or congress
siopal interference with the prohibitory
clause placed in the constitution of South
Dakota BY the sovereign will of its people as
expressed at the ballot box; and beiieye that
South Dakota should be immediately adEllt-
ted under its Sioux Falls constitution, ex,
cept perhaps, slight change in name aud
division on seventh standard parallel.
Resolved The time has fully come when
the friends of the prohibition of the manu-
PICTURE and sale of intoxicating liquors
should organize in every county OF Dakota'
party whose platform expresses what IL
believes on this and every other question.
That we indorse the action of the central
committee in establishing the Appeal as a
means of enlightenment and communlca-
ton and pledge our fullest cooperation In
its support, and that we invite the w. G. I.
L. and |. o. G. T. of Dakota to make the
Appeal their official organ.
