The Preamble recognizes that the chief
end of government is the establishment
of the God-revealed principles of right
eousness and justice.
1. The destruction of the liquor traf-
fic is the most important issue in Ameri-
can politics.
2. The cowardice and lack of states
manship exhibited by the leaders of the
Republican and Democratic parties in
their treatment of the liquor issue has
resulted in the practical domination of
national state and local government by
the liquor traffic.
8. All methods of dealing with the Ii
quor traffic which recognize its right to
exist have proved powerless to remove
it's evils, while the insignificant license
revenue has scared the public con-
science.
A. The enactment and enforcement of
prohibitory legislation, in which alone
lies the hope of protecting the people
from the liquor traffic, requires that the
legislative, executive and judicial branch
es of government should be in the hands
of a party which believes in and is

one who has been reading the signs

the Turner clique and explains why
vote trading is creeping into legis-
