THAT we affirm, with renewed en-
phasis, our belief that total absti-
nence from alcoholic liquors in any
form is the same law for each hu-
man life. and we rejoice hat the ver-
dict Of science increasingly condemns
even the use of alcohol in medicines.
We affirm belief in legal prohibition
as the ultimate solution Of the liquor
problem. and we renew our protest
against all government completely
with the liquor traffic. We protest
against the issuing by the federal
government of liquor tax receipts in
prohibition territory. We oppose
ishment of the sale of beer or other
intoxicating drinks in the army can
teen, and we urge continuous efforts
for the passage of law forbidding
the sale of liquor within four miles
of any army post. We believe in
the highest standard of purity alike
for men and women, and we will seek
for the establishment of that stand
ard throughout the nation. We urge
immediate action on the part of our
state Legislature in demanding an
anti-polygamy amendment to the
constitution Of the United States
The governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned Under a democratic form of
government, that consent can be OBJ
tanned only through the ballot, there
fore we believe that women should
vote on equal terms with men. We
urge that the unions of our state
make special effort to secure the
reading of the Bible in our public
schools That we heartily rejoice in
the victories for prohibition in Geor-
gia and Oklahoma, and shall work to
bring our own state in line as soon
as possible That we tender our sin
