violence or chicanery cannot be toler-

For Constitutional Prohibition
"3. We demand that the distilling and
brewing and the licensing of the sale of
intoxicating liquors be abolished by Con-
stitutional prohibition. Stimulants more
dangerous than alcohol must be aban-
doned, either by individual determination
or by Constitutional prohibition.
"4. We demand the elevation and pu-
rification of our, public and private life
through creation of and use of perma-
nent public interest organizations in ev-
ery voting precinct, founded and con-
ducted upon democratic principles, for
in no other way can there be regenera-
tion, reorganization and constant inter-
est in the discussion of all religions, so-
cial, economic and political problems.
A free people cannot and will not per-
mit any church or association of church-
es to inflict their theology or religious
formulas and ceremonies upon the pub-
lic through any department or action
of the government and will not tolerate
any interference by government with the
religious rites and ceremonies of any
denomination nor permit suppression of
free speech by an individual or associa-
tion of individuals, secular or religious.
"5. We demand that our natural re-
sources be conserved and utilized for
the general welfare and service, and
not for the aggrandizement of an olig-
archy through the expioitation of the
people.

"6. We demand that the State au-
thorize and instruct the Board of Edu-
cation to establish and maintain a pub-
lic school system that will blot out illit-
racy and secure public schools of the
highest order obtainable: State and coun-
ty funds gathered by taxation to sup-
port these schools.
"7. We demand that there be a higher
education than the public schools can
give, that the State support by liberal
and adequate appropriations of public
money, raised by taxation. a University
of Pennsylvania that shall have under-
graduate schools, professional schools of
all Kinds, a graduate school, with a cur-
riculum and faculty in every way equal
to and superior to, if possible, graduate
schools of other States and nations. and
that this University of Pennsylvanis
should be a consolidation of the three
institutions now beneficiaries of the
Commonwealth. The many good col-
leges and universities now established
within the Commonwealth would then
become constituent parts of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania.
"8. We demand that the State, by
use of public money, gathered by sale
of bonds of the Commonwealth, payable
fifty years after date:
"A. Enlarge the waterways, natural
and artificial, of the Commonwealth,
so that water transportation, cheaper
always than land transportation, can be

monwealth where it is feasible to have
such waterways.

"C. To enlarge and create public high-
ways in all sections of the Commonwealth

tons and adequate to needs of all sec-

"D. To conserve and use the waters
of the Commonwealth for creation of
