of General Clinton B. Fisk for President, and
John A. Brooks for Nice-Presi 5ent, and pledge
them our hearty support.
ResolUed, That as the supporters of the liquor
traffic have for years at their varions Conyen-
tions declared that they would support no one
by their sufirages for any political Office who
was not in favor of the continuance of that
traffic, and have made all other questions in
politics subservient to this one issue, we declare
we VIII meet them upon the battle-ground they
have chosen, and will fight it out at the ballot
box until the bhghting traffic is wiped out of
existence IN our nation, and we call upon all
temperance people to lay aside lesser differences
and unite with Us in this contest.
Resot0ed, That the Democratic and Republican
parties OF Sacramento county are notOriously
subservient to the liquor traffic, and we call
upon ell good citizens TO separate themselves
from both of those parties and Join the only
party opposed to the continuance of the liquor
trafhc, and thereby cease their own response
bility for crimes committed through the saloons
those parties have licensed in our midst
ResoLUed, That the saloon is the greatest foe TO
legitimate industries and wage earners alike.
and that if the hundreds of thousands of dollars
spent annually in the saloons in Sacramento
county were turned into channels of legitimate
trade, those trades would experience such a
thrill of prosperity as they never knew before
and thereby greatly benefit the merchant the
farmer and the laborer.
ResoJUed That it is the duty of the Board OF
Supervisors to prohibit the sale of intoxicating
| liquors, and we call upon the voters of this
county to elect only such men for Supervisors
as are committed to the prohibition of the traffic
