The Party Platform
The Prohibition party of New
Castle county, Delaware, in conven-
ton assembled at Wilmington this
5th day of October, 1912, expressing
gratitude to God for past guidance,
and recognizing Him as the author
of all good government and seeking
His direction in the coming cam
paign. hereby endorses as our dec
.laration of principles the platform
adopted by the recent state conven-
tion of our party as follows:
We declare that the liquor traffic
has proved so detrimental to the pub
lie welfare that the government
should protect citizens therefrOm,
that the policy of legalizing or IL
censing such traffic for revenue, is
vicious ia principle and has proved
powerless, as a remedy.
We declare that the only right pub
lie policy and the only effectife REM
edy, is the entire prohibition OF the
manufacture, sale, importation, OK
portation and transportation OF all
alcoholic beverages, and that the or
ganized liquor traffic is such a foe tc
the common welfare that it justifief
and demands a party IL power CON-
mitted TO its overthrow.
We propose 10 give this iniquitoul
traffic no respite, no quarter, no op-
tion but surrender, and no choice but
TO die
We believe in the sanctity Of The
ballot and that any Infringement
upon its sacred rights by use Of mon
er or otherwise. is treason to the
State and should consign any politi
cal party or candidate guilty Of it tS
defeat and disgrace.
We favor the election of President
Vice-P President and United States Sen
ators by direct vote of the people, anC
as our party has heretofore declares
I'm its platforms we again affirm GU
belief that women should have eQua
rights with men.
We favor the Initiative Referen
dun and Recall under wise restric
tions, to prevent injustice and securl
deliberate consideration by the peo
pie, and an adequate statute for tn
impeachment of all officials who re
fuse or neglect to enforce the law.
We favor good roads, and believe II
compulsory education. and improve
ment in our public school system
throughoub the State; also more thor
ough scientific instruction Of the eyi
effects of alcohol and narcotics.
We declare the national govern
ment should prohibit all interstat
commerce in intoxicating beverage
into prohibition territory and shoul
prohibit the use of mails TO aid sue
traffic, as is Low done regardln
lotteries and other evils. We favo
court review of post Office decisions
We declare that the social evil ha
become a public menace to the healt
and morals of the people, and W
urge the enforcement of laws tina
will effectually suppress It, prever
its official toleration. and abolis
the white slave traffic"
We favor equal opportunities fo
capital and labor, and the settlemer
