Constitutional and statutory prohibi-

Is the most vital issue before the Amer
lean people and the first step toward
securing reforms.
we are opposed to any law that in
any way legalizes the traffic of intoxj-
eating liquors as a beverage.
We invite the attention of the peo-
pie of Nebraska to the fact that the
prohibition party stands TODAY in the.
midst OF the greatest crisis in the his
tory OF our state as the only champion
OF the homes in their contest with the,
organized liquor monopoly of state and
nation, and we hereby pledge our votes
and the earnest Efforts of our party or
ganization to its adoption.
No citizen should be deprived of the
right OF franchise by reason of sex.
The general government should own
and operate the railroad and telegraph
