PRouIBs RESOLVE.
Resolutions Adopted at tho Prohibition
Jollification at Huron.

Following are the resolutions adopt
ed by the state temperance gathering
at Huron:
We, prohibitionists of South Dako-
ia, representing the Christian and
temperance people, the various
churches and religious and temper
ance organizations of the state, in
convention assembled, in the city of
Huron, April IL and 13, 1893, do
heartily agree in the following resolu-
tions:
That we express gratitude to God
for the signal favor which he has
shown the cause represented by this
convention.
That we rejoice in the defeat OF the
foes of prohibition in their attempt
to resubmft the question to the peo-
pie in the last legislature; especially
do we commend those noble women,
the president and vice president of
the w. G. 7. U. and their supporters
for their selfsacridcing and magnif-
icent service in that conflict.
That we declare the prohibitory
law, yet preserved to the state in
spite of the wiles of its enemies and
the often lamentablc inefliciency Of
its friends, a most gratifying success,
and that prohibition is the only sound
principle upon which civil society can
possibly stand.
That with shame and Indignation
we learn that through the completely
of public officials with crime, our con-
stitution and laws are shamclessly VII
olated in some of the cities of our
state; that in Sioux Falls, Yankton,
Pierre, Ft. Pierre, Deadwoud, Rapid
City. Lead City, Eureka, Bowdle and
Parkstcn, the municipal officers have
violated their official oaths and pol
luted public offices by accepting
bribes, under a system of fines, from
the violators of law.
We call the attention of the attor-
ney general, governor and other Off
GERS Of the state, to this dangerous
and reasonable state of affairs, and
urge upon such state officials, the inn
mediate necessity for the suppression
of such criminal completely among
sworn officials. And we call upon the
attorney general to cooperate with
the loyal citizens of our state, in se-
curing the complete enforcement of
the prohibitory law in all parts of the
state. That, representing the Chris
tian and patriotic citizenship of
South Dakota, and realizing the pres
ent crisis in our state with reference
to the enforcement of our prohibitory
law, we hereby declare that the laws
of this state prohibiting the man.
ufacture aud sale of Intoxicating Ii
Quors as a beverage. must. and, God
helping US, shall be enforccd: and the
reasonable practice of accepting
bribes from the liquor traffic in the
above cities in this state, must and
shall cease. And to the complete
suppression of such practice and the
enforcement Of our prohibitory law,
we hereby give our influence, our time
our money and our sacred honor.
That we regard it OF primary i'm
portance that prohibition literature
be Systematically distributed through
QUIT state, and we recommend that
the delegates from each county be
constituted committee for such pur-
pose; especially to secure subscrip-
tions for leading prohibition papers.
That a committee of ten be appoint
ed by the convention to be known as
a convention committee whose duty
it shall be to make arrangements for
the holding ofconventions in as many
localities as may be found practic-
able, and that the delegates be urged
to provide for the holding of county
conventions.
That we pledge our hearty support
to any political party that will give
US the assurance of hearty assistance
and nominate men pledged to the
support of the enforcement of the
prohibitory law.
