The PrOhibitionistS of Ramsey county
In convention assembled reaffirm their
allegiance to Almighty God, and acl1nowl
edge His law to be the source and foun-
dalton OF all righteous government and
do so declare,
Ourselves to be in accord with the
declaration of the state convention re-

of good morals and integrity"

made short address, saying in part:

fight by electing good men. 1 know

is the greatest one before the public,
and we will settle it first. I do not
