The report OF the resolutions COM
mittee was postponed until the last
moment spirited contest was pre-
cipitated after the resolutions had
been read and adopted, because they
cid not commit the Progressive party
to statewide prohibition.

bly, of the Progressive party of Colo
rado, while not presuming to adopt a
party platform. which. under the law,
is one of the functions of the candf-
dates nominated at the primary elec-
tion. feel that it is proper and desir-
able to crystalline their views on GER
tain important questions, and do so. in
the following resolutions:
BE 1t resolved, That we condemn
and declare our unafterable opposition
to lawlessness, violence and insurrec-
tion in any and every form and by
wiiomsoever committed, and pledge
ourselves to the firm establishment Of
complete and impartial maintenance
Of law and orderly government in ev-
cry part OF Colorado. We deny the
right OF any to wage private war and
denounce the same as intolerable and
declare that all controversies must be
settled without violence.
And be 1t further resolved, That
with the same fidelity. we declare our
devotion to political. social and induo-
national platform and the Colorado
state platform of 1912.
1.-THE Progressive party has, from
its inception. not only realized that the
impartial enforcement OF law and the
maintenance of order are primary es-
sentials OF stable government. but
that law and order are instituted so
that justice may be attained.
"Our opposition to invisible govern
ment' and our determination to write
into the laws and practice of this
state the doctrine that society's rights
| and general welfare are supreme. anc
that while inviting voters OF every
past political faith to join with us In

fusion with any other political party
and declare our opposition to the nom-
| ination in Progressive primaries OF
men or women not recognized as true
