The constitution was adopted by
the vote of the people, and whenever
new issues arise, not properly pro-
vided for in this document, TIE people
amend the constitution by direct
vote.
The temperance question is an is
sue forced into the political world by
the growing morality ora people.
New occasions teach new duties.
Time makes ancient good uncouth.
They must upward be and onward
Who would keep abreast of truth"
The people Of Iowa are trying to
keep abreast of science, ethics and
religion in their government.
The time has come in this evolu-
ton, not to eliminate the liquor traf-
fic from the state-we have done that
by legislative action-but to deter
mine that this shall be the settled
policy of the state.
Thirty-two years ago the people
spoke their will. Through an error
in the procedure OF the legislature,
their will was thwarted. Political ins.
fiuence in the legislature has held
off the opportunity for the people to
speak again until now.
This is the opportunity to vindicate
the wisdom of real democracy, and to
finally settle this vexing question. y
This amendment is not designed to
tie the hands of the legislature in the
| future, but to establish final policy
| for the state.
Should the people ever change their
views upon this subject they could
change this in the same manner as
they are acting now.
But the passage of this amendment
is safeguard against sudden revoiu-
tons in policy, brought about by out
| side interests, such as that which is
fighting to defeat this amendment,
from its headquarters in the United
Bank Building, Cincinnati, Ohio.
The people of the state are entitled
to this protection.
The business interests are entitled
to the protection it offers against the
sandbagging methods of the national
! liquor interests.
The patriotic men and women who
are and have been giving time, labor
and money to promote the best inter
ests of the state, are entitled to dis
charge in this SO years war. This
amendment will do all this.
This is real democracy acting in a
present day Issue.

answer lies with the people of Iowa.
