The First State Ticket.

Somen's suffrage;
l. We favor the suppression Of
he liquor traffic by Legislation
state, and national, and regard the
Prohibition party, state and nat
ionol, as absolutely necessary fo-
that purpose.
2. That any form of license tax
alton or regulation of the Liquor
traffic is contrary to good govern
ment that any party which sup
ports regulation, license or taxa
ton enters into an alliance viii
such traffic and becomes the active
foe of the states welfare and tha
we arraign the Republican anC
Democratic parties for their per
sistent attitude in favor of the Ii
cense iniquity whereby they OPP
pose the demand of the people fol
prohibition, and through open
completely with the liquor crime
defeat the enforcement Of law.
3. That our immigration laws
should be so enforced as to pre-
vent the introduction into our
country of all convicts, inmates of
other dependent institutions, and
others physically incapacitated for
self-support.
4, That no person should be al
lowed to vote who has not been a
resident of the United States for
ten years, or who is unable TO
read and write the English Ian
guage.
5. We arraign the liquor traffic
as a menace to civil liberty, in
shat ii is the vehicle by which the
Democratic and Republican par.
ties shamefully corrupt the ballot
box, and we further favor such
amendation in the election laws as
shall render bribe-giving and
bribe-taking impossible.
6. Recognizing that the liquor
trafic, in itself soulless monop-
oily, is the greatest foe to the Ia
boring classes as an ever present
menace to their homes, we earn
estly and cordially invite all labor
ing men to join us in the attempt
to throttle their most malignant
ensmy.
I. We recognise in the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union a
powerful ally in the battle for
temperance and prohibition. We
bid them god-speed in their noble
and self-sacrifeing labors.
8. That all charges for service
byrailroad corporations and of
other common carriers be regula-
ted by law for the protection of
ihe people, and that an efficient
system of arbitration be enacted
for the settlement of all differen-
ees between corporations and en-
ployes.
9. That all state eonYicts should
be confined IN the walls of the
penitentiary and the lease system
be abolished
10. That all monopolies and
trusts are destructive of free in
situations and should be abolished.
IL. Recognizing and declaring
that prohibition of the liquor
traffic has become the dominant
issue in national politics, we invite
to full party fellowship all those
who in this, our dominant issue,
are with us agreed.
II. Effective systems of public
free schools by the state, in which
the nature and effect Of alcoholic
liquors upon the human system
should be taught.
Is. The latest United States Su-
preme court decision on the liquor
question, towit: The Original
package cases from Iowa clearly
develops the necessity for Federal
laws to protect the states in the
necessary power to preserve their
citizens from the ravages of rum
and necessitates that the prohibit
ton party devote especial atten-
ton to the election of members of
the United States congress and
senate.
