The Record endorses instructed delegates for prohibition at the constitutional convention and supports a state wide clause to ban sale manufacture or barter of liquors. If that fails it backs local option by counties and opposes making local option a constitutional provision. It criticizes party leaders and the New Mexican as aligned with special interests.
The Record argues a constitutional prohibition would be welcomed in Washington due to existing Indian Reservations and congressional concern over liquor effects on Indians. The piece asserts a statewide clause could provide a solution.
The passage argues Republicans use ignorance claims to oppose direct primary and ballot measures. It contends the real motive is to preserve the influence of corrupt political figures who have long benefited from the territory’s politics.

In Spain and Portugal a real clash between State and Church is cited as a warning the Republicans claim could happen in America. They argue this may be a bid to win Democratic votes or a broader political tactic.
