Enforcement Of the Law.

The sovereignty Of the Republic Is
the sovereignty OF the people, and
when the people have spoken, either
in the making Of a constitution or In
the enactment of laws, such constitu-
ton and such laws carry within them
the embodiment of that sovereignty,
the supremacy of which no man and
M interest can be permitted to VIC
late or challenge. This is true of on
situations and laws inhibiting the liq-
uor traffic, and we stand for their
faithful and consistent enforcement all
the time and everywhere. To this end
we counsel our people, and >all good
citizens of whatever sect or creed, to
permit themselves to be divided no
longer and to support no candidate of
any party for any office who is not
openly pledged to the enforcement of
such constitutions and such laws.

This relative proportion was maintain
