I have felt that it. should ho answer
0(d, and so far as I am personahll
concerned, I have never heen in favoi
and have never advocatod the ap
pointment of constables to enfore<
the whiskey law, even tunder the ok
dispensary law, but under the ,Car

makes it the duty of the sheriffs an<

only when they fail to do so is
* the duty of the governor to appoin

I desire to assure you again that
I know it was the prerogative of the
governor to appoint constables, but
that he should exercise this preroga
tive under the Carey-Cothran Act
only after those officials, whose duty
it is made to enforce this law, have
failed to perform that duty and that
I did not expect him to consult me
about it and despite your
insinuations to the contrary,
I am not in the least offended
because he did not. The question
finally resolves itself, as stated above,
into this: Either you charge and be
lieve that these regularly constituted

election on the question of bringint
the dispensary back to this count;
this year, although the people ha
voted the dispensary out with th
understanding that the question wa
settled for four years? And why di,
