MEET IN CONVENTION
New Executive Committee Named
and Resolutions Passed Deplor-
ing Lack of Law Enforcement

Yakima county prohibitiOniSts be-
lieve that their party will have "A tick
ct in the field at the fall campaign.
They won a place on the primary bal
lot by their vote last fall and pro-
pose to make the most Of it. While
the county central committee Of the
party will not place ticket in nomi-
nation ii is the expectation OF the men,
berS that ambitious prohibitiOnistS
who feel within themselves that they
are capable and ready of offering
good public service will furil their
candidance and give the public an OPP
pOrtunity to support an element Of
the community which makes the
liquor question vital one in its plat
form.

OF the party and the precinct chair
men make up the balance of the
committee. The above executive was

Resolutions of Convention
We. prohibtioniSts of Yakima coun-
ty. in mass convention assembled, re-
affirm our belief in and our adher-
enCe to the national and state pro-
hibition platforms.
We pledge hearty cooperation with
the Anti Saloon league in its pending
county option campaign.
We believe in the enforcement of
\ ~, g..
by the officers, municipal and county,
and point to it as proof of the need
of a new alignment of the voters for
the purpose OF electing men pledged
individually by action Of the party
electing them to an impartial en-
forcement of law
We declare it as our belief that the
greatest economic, moral. social and
political question demanding the at
tention of the American people, is the
prihibition o, the liquor traffic.
We congratulate the county execu-
tive committee upon the fact that its
reports all bills rendered to the com
mittee paid in full. and a balance left
in the treasury.
New Party of Patriots.
We call the attention OF patriots
everywhere to the fact that q party
other than either the republican or
democratic party is necessary to settle
this and other reforms that have agi-
tated the country in recent years. Re
publican and democratic congressman
in the recent sessions OF congress
united TO carry through bills against
the peoples interest and in favor of
the various trusts and social interests
Both parties protect the liquor traffic
and the white slave traffic. and in
those states where a prohibition law
is on the statute books the party in
power usually does everything to null
ifY the law and bring about its repeal
We therefore call upon patriotic
citizens who believe that in republic
government must be administered by
an organized party and who believe in
the prohibition OF the liquor traffic.
the suppression Of the white slave
traffic, and in securing tho rights of
the MASSES against the encroachments
and rule OF the trusts; to leave the
old parties and ally themselves with
the only party that for 40 years has
consistently cham pioned these great
reforms-the Prohibition party
Respectfully submitted
