their earnest efforts to further and
aud protect the interests OF their con-
stituents.
Resolved, That we believe that the
voice OF the people should ever pre-
| vail when expressed by majorities at
the ballot box and that any attempt
20 thwart the will OF the majority
should be met with measures at once
vigorous and emphatic.
Resolved, That we favor the execu-
tion OF the prohibitory law which the
will OF a majority OF the people has
placed in the constitution and the
statutes OF the state OF fSouth Dakota.
Resolved, That we condemn the ac-
tion and course OF Geo. Morehouse as
chairman of the Republican county cen
tral committee in refusing to recog-
nize delegates upon the floor OF the

which were properly before the con-

disrupt and disorganize the conven-
tion,
