people Of the state. Recognizing this
fact, the Republican, Democratic)
party declares in favor of the submits
sion of the question Of statewide pro-
hibition to a vote Of its electorate by
the state legislature in 1917" The nc.
t~ivities Of the Submission Federation,
of which Rev. Randolph Cook is presi-
dent and Rev. r. f.. Farley is secrc-
tary, were largely responsible for the
adoption Of this plank. Just how sin
cere the parties are in making this
pledge must be left to the Judgment
Of the individual voter. We rcgre; to
say that the campaign literature Of
the Republican party omits the date in
the above pledge. although It is stated
on high authority that the date was in
the plank adopted at the convention.
This omission would seem to be an Mt.
tempt on the part Of some Of the lead.
ers Of the party to evade the issue.
Regarding the personal attitude OF in.
dividual candidates we wish to q
that we consider this the supreme
thing. The party pledge is nothing i!
the men elected are personally opposed
to prohibition. The man who Is per-
sonally addicted to drink, is a frequen-
ter Of saloons, who Is allied with sa-
loon politics, cannot be relied on to
carry out the pledges Of the party. II
behooves the voter then who believes
in righteousness in government to in
quire carefully into the personal rec.
ord Of the men who are running for
Office. Some of the candidates are sa-
loon politicians and VIGOROUSLY bad.
From such men we can hope for moth
ing. We cannot Of course enter into
the matter fully here. Literature sent
out by the Anti-saloon League and the
Submission Federation will furnish In.
formation regarding the men who are
running for office. According to the
best information we can obtain the
following men are clean men and per.
sonally In favor Of prohibition: Mr..
DE Baca for governor. Mr.. Lindsay
and Mr.. Mcdonald for lieutenant gov
ernor; Mr.. Jones for the U. s. Senate,
Mr.Hernandez for congress, land Judge
Clancy for attorney general. Most OF
the candidates for the state legislature
have pledged themselves 10 suppovt
prohibition and the outlook is fine for
submission. Let every voter see TO |,
that his vote counts for a man who Is
personally sound on this matter"
In addition to the men named in the
above article, we can safely add that
Hon. Antonio Lucero, Democratic can
didate, and Hon. Clarence J. Roberts,
Republican candidate for Supreme
Court, are in favor of prohibition.
