I have ' done the best 1 could to a d in < giving the prohibitionists ol the < State an opportunity to name their own candida'es. 1 have not sought by unfair means, or in any other way, to shut off the voice ot any prohibitionist, no ' matter how weak, in making the < nominations; hut we have now ] reached the point where some ( one must take up the work and | press it vigorously, ami when the campaign opens I shall be there upon a clean prohibition ' plaiform as a candidate lor the \ Democratic nomination lor gov , ernor of the Slate. The woods are now full of gu- , hernatoria! timber, represent- , inir all shades of opinion on the liquor question, so that when the campaign fairly opens and the various candidates announce their views, the voters will have ' no t rouble in selp M in a the in ?n ot their choice, it that choice de pends solely on how a candidate s'ands on ll.e liquor problem.
