| Monday morning Rev. F. W. Lewis,
who has recently been appointed to Bel.
lows Falls, read the following resolutions
Whereas, we as the representative body
of the churches included in the Vermont
conference, have stood for years uncom
promisingly opposed to licensing the run
traffic, thereby giving it responsibility
and pronounced support of total absti
hence; yet we realize that as defenders o
law, homes, and in support of law ant
order we need ever to be alert and vigi
liant;
Whereas, large body of citizens of al
religious preferences are banding them
selves together tor suppression Of the trad
under the name of the Anti Saloon League
Whereas, our states attorneys are not a
faithful in many instances in answering t.
the will of the people and seem to lacl
backbone for the faithful execution of tn
prohibitory law;
Whereas, in one case, if not more
United States internal revenue officer
have refused to testify regarding partie
holding licenses;
Resolved, That we extend cordia
greeting to the National Anti-Saloo
League, and elect two delegates with alter
mates, and name representative as
member of the board of directors of tina
body;
Resolved, That we use all our infuenc
with our supreme court judges that remun
Grafton be withheld from our states attor
neys if derelict in duty.
Resolved, That we are deeply grateful
to .4udge Rowell for his action in trying t.
secure testimony Of United States revenu
officers; we most heartily commend thi
act as it is test case and involves tn
great interests of the law-abiding citizen
of Vermont;
Resolved, That we believe the interest
of the temperance cause would be advance
by granting municipal suffrage to women
and that this would facilitate the electio
to office OF such persons as would enforc
the prohibitory law.
The eligibility of women to the geners
conference was voted down, the vote stand
ing yea 20 and nay 80,
