1. That we deplore and condemn what appears to be the growing tendency on the part of legislative bodies to usurp the rights and will of the people and to enact laws licensing the liquor traffic, or giving wet counties the right to set up liquor stores, contrary to the will of a majority of the citizens of the State as a whole.
2. That public office is and of right ought to be a public trust; that every legislature ought to have a scrupulous regard for the will of a majority and for the integrity and authority of the State as the supreme unit of government, which authority should rule in all matters affecting the people of the State as a whole.
3. That if this principle be disregarded and violated the integrity and authority of the States will disappear and the people will be robbed of their right of self government.
