Reject the Sunday Law Principle

Under the Initiative this coming autumn, all will have the right of exercising the franchise for or against a Sunday law—a law as mild as a summer zephyr, but which will be made the basis for one more and more stringent till the ideals of the National Reformers are reached, under the deadly virus of which the nation perishes. The advocates of a Sunday law know that you would not enact their ideal law now. They only expect you now to commit yourself to the evil way, and they hope that human pride and persistency, ashamed to recall what has been done, will go on to the bitter end. We plead with the voters of California to see the evil results in the principle and reject the principle now. Apply the Golden Rule. Guard the rights of the individual conscience in matters of religion. The concerns of religion lie between him and his God alone.
