The Temperance Plank.
The temperance plank is as follows:
THE republican party has always
stood for a firm and efficient regula-

in this state, as is evidenced by the
local option and high license laws in
favor of which it declared in 1886 and
subsequently enacted, and by many

ommend such legislation as will
strengthen these laws and insure
strict enforcement.
