Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from National Prohibition, 1916: Reports of the Senate Committee on Education and Labor in the Forty-Ninth, Fiftieth, and Fifty-First Congresses
Until that right is granted there will be, there can be, no peace to political partisans. In this country. If there could be it would prove that the nature of government was already changed, and that under the forms of a progressive free republic we are become a hidebound despotism having a name to live but really already dead.
Your committee are unable at this late period of the session properly to present the great cause the promotion of - which is the purpose of this resolution. Fortunately it is not necessary. We appeal to the universal sentiment which is the very basis of our political institutions, the right of every voting citizen to be heard at the polls upon every great question which concerns the public weal.
