After q short recess the committee on

tions. which were adopted:
'Res0lred, We reafiirm our allegiance TO
the National Prohibition party aud the
great principles for which 1t contends,
chiefly the abolition OF the liquor traffic.
"Resoiped. We therefore declare for the
abolition OF the liquor traffic, the manu-
facture, sale, transportation, expectation
and importation OF Intoxicating liquors
for beverage purposes, IN army and navy.
state and nation aud as American patriots
aud Christian citizens, Ia the name OF God
protest against the license system as
vicious in principle and poweress as n
remedy. In legalizing the traffic in alco-
holic beverages the state is bargaining
away the public health and public morals,
which no community has the right 90 do
according TO the decisions of the supreme
court of the United States. and makes it,
self partner and participant in the de-
hauchery OF its citizens and the devasta-
ton OF the home, instead OF establishing
Justice and insuring domestic tranquility.
We believe that the sale of alcohol for
mechanical aud other Legitimate purposes
should be regulated as the sale OF other
poisons are regulated, ia the interest of
the public welfare"
