We. the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union of Minnesota, in convention
assembled, committing our way unto
the Lord. who has wonderfully led US
in the past, do adopt the following reso-
lutionS:
First-We will continue the psosecu-
ton of all the lines of preventive, edu-
cational and Legislative work which we
have already undertaken, and will add
the department Of mercy and the school
saving bank.
Second-We will observe Sept. 2S
Miss Wizards birthday as a day of
special effort for Increasing the mem
bership of the union.
Third-The present mode brings phys
zeal, mental and spiritual loss to women
and children, and we will therefore hail
with delight the emancipation day pro-
posed by the dress reform com mittee of
style of dress combining comfort,
economy and grace shall be inaugur-
ated.
Fourth-In our work for social purity
we have found that the social evil is
greatly fostered by keeping women in
dependent condition, and we there
fore demand for them equal pay witt,
men for equal work, opportunity to
engage in any work of hand or brain
for which they are fitted, and the re-
moval of those political distinctions by
which all men are made sovereignS ami
ali women subjects.
Fifth While there Is a seeming in
justice in having different standards
! for men and women, there is no wrong
| IN requiring that every voter should be
able to read the ballot which he casts.
and we will therefore petition our legis-
lature to give the ballot to such women,
whether native-born or naturaliZed, as.
can read any sentence in the constitu-
ton OF the United States or the state of
| Minnesota.
SiXth-In the present political CAM
paign our interests and our sympathies
are with the men who dare to carry the
| banner of prohibition.
| Seventh-We regard the White Rib
| boner as an organ of communication
between local. county. district and state
unions, and necessary factor in The
! prosecution of our work.
Eighth-We tender TO our loved
| leader. Frances E. Willard, our heart
felt sympathy in the departure of her
| godly mother, and pray for her the
| presence of the Comforter,
| Ninth-We extend our warmest thanks
to Lady Henry Somerset for her kind
ness to our captain in these, her days of
trial.
Tenth-We thank the press for kindly
notices, the railroad companies for re-
! ductlon in fare, the trustees of the Pres
| byterian church for the use of their
| building. the organist and singers for
| excellent music. the ladies'. who fur
| nished the collation., and the people of
| saltwater for their generous hospitality.
When the state legislature meets hext
| winter petition will be presented by
| the W. &. I. U. FOR woman suffrage,
| and everything Will be done to pass
law giving women right to vote.
