PETITIONS.
The usual petitions were filed against re-
submission. Among them the following
from Mrs. Fl. L. Campbell, of Fargo:
FARGO, Jan. %.
Hon. A. w. Edwards,
The liquor traffic lawfully lives in our
nation. Each house of Congress has a
saloon.
Our soldiers home is a constitutional
drink shop.
At our military posts today enlisted men
in uniform are detailed to do federal duty
serving drinks at the canteen bar.
In consideration of the payment by it of
about one third OF the public revenue the
liquor traffic remains our sovereign indus
try, censor of our press, controller of our
finances, and moderator of our politics.
The liquor traffic is the footrot Of civiliza-
ton. Saloons are the progeny of cities be-
trayed by our party follies, and shall the
glorious republican party of North Dakota
still: keeps its name, or shall she go down
to ignomy and death by the votes of men
elected upon the platform. To you and
your associates the people trusted this, and
will you betray that trust and vote for re-
submission, or will you be man and dare
to be Daniel.
Yours in His Name,
Mrs. H. L. CAMPBELL.
