The following resolutions were
adopted:
We declare In the most unequivocal manner
that the questions OF temperance and prohibi-
ton are in politics, and that the fight is to the
finish. We therefore call upon all friends OF
prohibition within the dominant political
parties whose candidates are liable to be
that the friends Of prohibition are sent to all
conventions, including state conventions and
that all candidates are friends to prohibition
and that only those whose past record and pres
ent reputation are such rs to assure the public
that they will be safe officers II elected,
We urge that the prohibitive voter follow his
convictions to the polls and as far as possible
see to it that the friend of prohibition is elect
ed and that the man who is Indifferent to or OPP
posed to prohibition be defeated.
We do not fear the result of another election
on the question Of constitutional prohibition,
provided such vote could be secured without
the corrupt use Of saloon money but since that
is impossible, and since 1t is known that the
action taken 1S years ago was fair and conclu-
sive, we declare ourselves opposed to the re-
submission Of the prohibitory amendment to
another vote of the people Of the state, and we
advise all voters to oppose any candidate or
party that is in favor OF resubmiSSion, and that
we will not vote for any party or candidate that
favors this plan.
The State Temperance union reaffrms its In
creasing faith and loyalty to the policy of con-
stitutional prohibition as the best method of
dealing with the drink trafIic that has ever yet
been tried in any community.
A strong resolution against resub-
mission was adopted. One of the mem
bers Of the committee wanted to re-
solve to boycott all business men who
render any aid or encouragement to
the resubmission movement. That
clause was voted down in the commit
tee. The committee also refused to in
corporate a section on the police ques-
ton.
The following plan OF campaign was adopted;
First-That the State Temperance union en-
ter into auxiliary relations with the National
Anti-Saloon league.
Secondhand the union should undertake
Immediately q thorough organization, county.
township and school district, OF the people OF
the state who favor temperance and the en-
forcement Of the prohibitory law.
Third-That to this end the union put in the
field at once not less than three organizers,
who shall devote their entire time to the work,
on such terms as the executive committee may
agree upon, and that the union pledge itself to
their support
Fourth-That all good citizens should be
asked to pledge themselves to vote for no can
didate for governor, attorney general district
Judge, sheriff, county attorney or other officers
directly concerned with the enforcement OF
law, whose past record and present character
are not a reasonable guarantee that he will do
his full duty in the enforcement Of the prohibit
tory law
Fifth-That state and local unions, churches,
and other Christian and temperance organlza-
tions alike, devote themselves in every advisa-
BILE way to the cultivation Of public sentiment
against intemperance and the liquor interests
and especially to the enforcement encourage
ment and support Of faithful officers,
Sixth-That grand popular rally be held In
Topeka about the lst Of June.
Seventh-That several large popular rallies
with representative and general membership,
be held as early as possible in the spring or
summer, at such available places as the execu-
tive committee may designate, for the purpose
of bringing together the workers of our cause
