1. That we record afresh our deep and unalterable opposition to the liquor traffic in all of its forms and phases; that we urge upon our people the rule of total abstinence in their personal habits as the only sane, sensible and right course for Christian people concerning any recognized evil.
2. We recognize the duty and obligation of all units of government, large and small, to do all within their power to restrict, limit, and ultimately to prohibit the liquor traffic, and that no government has the moral right to barter the morals and health and economic prosperity of its people for the hope of financial gain.
3. That we approve the Johnson Bill, known as S 517, intended to prohibit all advertising of liquor over the radio, and the Capper Bill, known as S 575, intended to prohibit all inter-state advertisements of liquor both by radio and through the press.
4. That the Social Service Commission be authorized to represent this Convention in seeking the enactment of these bills and of any and all other bills clearly intended to curtail the liquor traffic and reduce liquor consumption.
5. That we urge upon our pastors and people, and all of our educational forces and agencies to continue in a persistent campaign of enlightenment and spiritual appeal concerning the liquor traffic and other popular evils until as far as possible our people shall be saved from the blight of such traffic and the whole social order shall be brought, as nearly as possible, to the Christian standard of life and conduct.
RESOLUTION CONCERNING REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT
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.
