The churches turned men out for acting as county dispensers and church members could not consistently vote tor a law that they would not let their members enj force.

Mr. Archer made a passionate speech directed chiefly against ' prohibit ion. !t was such men as [the prohibit inn candidate and the old whiskey sellers who made it iso hard for tin* dispensary law. Keat herstone hoasted of the j church having expelled members because they sold whiskey. Sweh conduct on the part ot the I churches, if a !o*lt were not call Jrd, would carry us hack to the ' days of per-a-cut ion for heresy md witchcraft.
