representatives into lending their sane
ton to any scheme Of pseudo-relig!ous
bigots and zealots to control the personal
actions OF laval biding citizens.
The resolution continues:
I'VE respectfully petition the members
Of congress to consider no proposed legis-
Iaton tending to curtail personal rights
and especially 10 refrain from adopting
any national prohibition measure, being
warned from the increasing use OF strong.
adulterated and Inferior liquors and dead.

prohibition statutes by several states.
