| THE PLATFORM.
The prohibition party OF Ohio, recognizing
| God as the source of power in all just govern
mcnt and the suppression OF the liquor traffc
as the dominant issue in our politics, present
| the following declaration of principles:
| First-The liquor traffic must and shall be de-
stroyed. We utterly reject all plans for regu-
| lating or compromising with this traflc,
| whether such plans bo called local option, tax
alton, license or public control
| Second-No citizen should be denied the right
| to vote account of sex.
| Third-The money of the country should be
| issued by the general government only. 1t
| should all be q full legal tender in payment OF
| all debts, public or private, Notwithstanding any
contract to the contrary, and should be issued
In such manner as to make the corncring OF the
money market impracticabe, and in such
amount as will meet the demands of industry
and commerce.
Fourih-Nonr residents should not be allowed
| to acquire land in tn country The amount of
land which any individual corporation can
hold should be limited.
Fifth-Tarin should be levied only de-
fense against foreign governments, which levy
taniffs upon or bar out our products from their
| markets. The residue of means necessary for
an economical administration OF the govern
ment should be raised by an equitable adjust
ment OF taxes upon the property and incomes oil
the people.
Sixth-Railroads, telegraph and all other nat
ural moncpolics should be controlled or II nee
essary, owned by the people, so as to fully pro-
test the public from extortion or unjust dis
elimination
Seventh-Speculation in margins; the cor
! nering OF grain, money and products, and the
formation OF trusts and combinations for the
arbitrary advance of prices should be prohib-
tied.
Eighth-All men should be protected by law
| in their right to one day rest in seven
| Ninth-Ex-soldiersa and sailors of the United
States army and navy, their widows and minor
children should receive just and liberal PEN
sions, graded on disability and time OF service.
Tenth-Our immigration laws should be so re-
vised as to exclude the degraded, vicious and
criminal. The required time of naturalization
should be extended and no naturalized person
! should vote within one year after naturaliza-
tion papers are issued.
, Eleventh-We stand unequivocally for the
American public schools taught in the English
language, and are opposed to any appropria-
tion of public money for sectarian schools.
/ Twelfth-All taxable property should be
listed for taxation at its actual value, less any
, bona fde Indebtedness of the owner thereof
Thrteenth-All Official fees should be covered
, into the public treasury and officials be paid
reasonable salaries.
Fourteenth-The president, vice president,
United States senators and all civil officers
, where practicable should be elected by direct
vote of the people.
, Fiftoenth-The increase OF local bonded In
debtness by acts of corrupt legislatures lays
heavy and increasing burden of taxes on the
people of the safe. We believe greater bur
dens in the future can be avoided only by the
election Of n legislature not dominated by the
/ saloon influence and money power.
a Sixteenth-That the government should es-
Q tablish postal savings banks, so that small de-
posits could be made without risk to depositors
e The platform was adopted as whole,
d and the following resolutions were also
. read and adopted:
The party needs the help of woman and the
e country demands her political education to en-
able her to inteligently exercise her citizen
rights, privileges and duties when she will be-
a come voter: therefore,
= Resolved, That We will extend all possible
a | assistance to the organization OF White Rose
= clubs, the sole purpose Of which shall be to
h | secure the success of the prohibition party
:. ave recommend that the state executive
, | committee OF the prohibition party issue an ad-
= dress to the editors of Ohio on the platform"
