We the republican re-submiss,onists of Barton
county in convention assembled, believing that the
present prohibitory constitutional provision of
this state and the laws enacted for its enforcement
are wholly inefficient a temperance measure,
have proven detrimen tai to the moral material
business interests of state; and, Whereas, the
so-called republican party headed by L. Z. Humph-
rey, has pledged itself to the support and continue
ance Of the same, and oppose any interference
Herewith, Therefore, be it resolved, that we the
republican resubmissionists of Barton county
deem it expedient for us to withdraw and withhold
our support from that element of the republican
party and unite ourselves with all good citizens
for the common and general good of our state.
I've are in favor of the free coinage of silver,
and such increase in the volume of currency as
viii meet the increasing demands of trade, and
prevent the drepression in business and price of
farm products and labor consequent upon the scar
city of money
2-We are in favor of that bread craftsmanship
which rises above mere sectional interests and rec
O0uixes the equality of the entire sisterhood of
