TREEING THE GOON”

THAT MOUCIIT mm* DEFEAT.
a SAYS STUAIT.
Editor:—A great many things
have transpirtti within the last
few weeks to set the people of
the Nation thinking. Political
campaigns have been waged with
a fierceness and bitterness here
tofore unknown. S u r p r i s es
almost beyond description have
dazed the opposing forces.
George Stuart in a recent ad-
uress said: ‘The Republican
politicians are out with their
coon dog, trying to tree the coon
that brought them defeat One
old dog barks up a tree and
thinks he has treed the coon in
Roosevelt Another barks up
another tree and thinks he has
found it in high prices and tariff,
but, “says Stuart,” when you
find the real coon, take your long
stick and split it at the end and
push it up the hollow and twist
it into the fui^f the real cooo,
ane bring him down. You will
nnd bun to be the 1 end of the
liquor dealers of America.**
George Stuart is right The
Liquor Trust has played no small
part in the elections recently
held throughout the United
States. They have become so
desperate in their efforts to stem
the tide of prohibition, or, to
recover lost territory, that they
have employed methods for
which decent people of all parties
refuse to stand.
In Florida the prohibitionists
lost in their fight for constitu
tional prohibition for the whole
State, by a majority of about
three thousand. The liquor peo
ple have heralded this to the
world as a great victory against
prohibition, but when it becomes
known in the South why we lost
in Florida, it will prove a Doom
s'rang to the liquor trust While
in that State recently I spent
four days in Jacksonville where
I obtained unmistakable facts in
regard to what was done. The
lowest and vilest class of negroes
had their poll taxes paid by li
quor agents that they might be
qualified to vote against prohibi
tion. In this way about four
thousand negroes were qualified
ia Duval county alone where
Jacksonville is situated. This
means that a sufficient number
of negroes have been qualified in
Jacksonville to put four of their
race on the tity council in the
election to be held next spring.
While in Jacksonville, I learned
another thing which is' epecialiy
significant to the people of the
South. Of the 128 saloons being
| run in that city, at least nine-
tenths of them are run by men
who are foreign-born. It does
not take the eye of a prophet to
see that such methods and con
ditions threaten our peace, our
laws, and our civilization.
In Oklahoma, conditions are
different. There it was a fight
between the white people of the
State and the Liquor Trust of
the Nation. The result is forty
thousand majority for constitu
tional prohibition. The time has
come in the history of this coun
try when, as Mr. Bryan says:
“We must meet the conditions
that coniror.t us and each one
must act as he thinks best."
Nebraska has been known as
a rock-ribbed, Democratic State
for many years past, but Ne
braska has repudiated the Demo-
ratic pary and has refused to
elect Mr. Dahlmon, the Liquor
Trust candidate, of that pany
as Governor of the Stave. Re
publicans and Democrats alike
who were candidates of the Hquor
trust, have been sent to the sreap
heap, and Nebraska will ribon

State.
Anyone who has read the clos
ing scenes of the last session of
the legislature of New Jersey
Gilbratar of the liquor forces,
the Republican majorities have
been cut from 60,QUO to 20,000
in the past four years. The tem
perance forces have been vie-
portrayed by the newapaper. of
that State will readily under-
stand why Woodrow Wilson was
elected Governor instead of Mr.
Lewis, the liquor, candidate.
The following from the New
York Sun, in regard to the last
night of that disgraceful session,
will help the reader to under
stand why New Jersey repudiat
ed the Republican party and has
gone Democratic. The Sun says:
T T1ie inside facts of the closing
jamboree of the women and
colons in the rooms apart from
the Assembly Chamber are just
coming out The scenes are
described as the most disgrace
ful exhibition ever held Jn^ tny
state capitol. Women, - drunk
with beer, and whiskey and ex-
citment, climbed upon a big table
in a bill room and performed the
hooche-cooche and other dances
while drink-beluddled statesmen
applauded.”
Maine too has gone Democratic,
and why? Because two years
ago, Gov. Femald made an ap
peal to the moral and religious
forces of the State for tneir
support, but, when elected, a
Bill known as the Hastings Bill
which was intended to make the
prohibition law more effective,
was passed by the legislature and
the ■ Governor-elect formed an j
alliance with the liquor Trust, |
betrayed the confidence of the
people who had elected him, and
vetoed the Bill. This brouKhtj
about the change of front in the
Republican party and when the
opportune time came, they
expressed iheir contempt for the
old administaion, at the ballot
box. This does not mean how
ever, that Maine will repeal her
prohibition law. This cannot lx;
done without re-submitting it to
the people. To re-submit would
require a two ; third majority vote
in both houses of the legislative
body. Even if tne question
should be re-submitted, the i»eo-'
pie of the State would retain 1
prohibition just as lh‘;y have,
done for more than a half cen
tury.
Even in Pennsylvania, thej
fidently believe that the Miller-
Curtiss Bill will pass tne next
session of Congress. Wet have
reasons for this belief. 1st, Joe
Cannon will no longer be speaker
of the house; 2nd, the man who
has been Joe Cannon's hench
man as chairman of the judiciary
committee of Congress has been
defeated at the polls; 3rd, the
next Congress will be made up
of 226 Democrats, 127 of whom
are from the Southern States.
The South certainly holds the
belance of power and these men
who our representatives know
that no part of our country
stands in greater need of a law
governing the sale of liquor
shipments into dry territory,
than the South. The people of
our Southland have a right to
expect her representatives in
Congress to give them protec
tion from the domination of the
liquor trust
