WHY PATTERSON FIGHTS WHISKY. FORMER TENNESSEE GOVERNOR TELLS OF CONVERSION TO PROHIBITION. Columbus, Ohio, November 12:? Today's session of the Anti-Saloon league's national convention was designated as Governors' day, notwithstanding the Governors present were not to be heard from the platform until the evening. The programme for that period called for addresses by Governors Hanna, of North Dakota, and Hodges, of Kansas. Former Governor xMalcolm R Patterson, of Tennessee, was to be the \ principal speaker at the afternoon session. ? * ? J r* nru Twice elected uuverriur ui xeunessee as a "wet," Mr Patterson came to Columbus in a special car, accompanied by Governor Ben W Hooper,who succeeded him as Tennessee's Chief Executive, to give his indorsement to a nation-wide programme that would have for its aim the entire elimination of the saloon. Former Governor Patterson said, in part: "The Anti-Saloon league and I have not always been friends. The paths we traveled were wide apart. They seemed so parallel that it looked incredible that they should ever meet. The path I traveled turned in its course. It ran into the other and now we find ourselves in the same road marching in the same direction, under the same flag,actuated by the same desire to destroy the traffic in liquor and redeem a nation from its curse. "I am aware that to have suddenly changed the views of mature manhood, which I once asserted and proclaimed from one end of Tennessee to the other, has excited surprise and provoked comment. But this is a world of change. Stagnation is decay and progress is the command of the age and the hope of mortality. I am neither ashamed nor abashed to stand before this great audience and admit that I once advocated policies which would have made legal a trade which 1 have come to look upon as b'.ving no rightful place in the scheme and economy of Christian civilization." Commenting on one of his own messages to the Tennessee Legislature, in which he opposed further legislation to regulate the saloon traffic, Mr Patterson reiterated that at that time those were his honest convictions, based upon a misguided judgment. He then continued: "I say to you, fully conscious of the meaning and responsibility of the declaration, that if this message has encouraged lawlessness or ever been fought as a refuge for violators of the law, if it had to stand as my last expression on the liquor question, I would consume it in the liv ing fires and erase it iorever irom the minds and memories of men. "My life has had deep sorrows. My soul has been tossed on the waves of angry seas. My nature has been profoundly touched and stirred. "I have seen the trail of liquor in the criminal courts where I have prosecuted crime. I know, and have been a participant in its paralyzing and corroding influence in the social and public life of our national capital. As the Governor of Tennessee I have seen it a veritable and raging center of storm around which gathered its defenders and assailants, and from which sprung divisions in parties, disputes in faniles and dissensions in churches. "Going through life, I have seen it drag down many of the associates of my boyhood, blasting their hopes and consigning them to untimely graves. I have seen its forked lightning strike my first born?the child of my young manhood, and I have b)rne with him the suffering and tried to help him in his brave but sometimes melanchely struggle for redemption. At last 1 have felt its foui and stealthy blow as it turned upon me in its deadly and shaming wrath?upon me who had pleaded before the people for its very existence. Men have called me strong; and while I could see its harm in others, I thought myself immune, as thousands before my time have thought, and suffered for the thought. "All this I knew and felt without a revelation of the deep pathos and meaning of it all. I needed help, for I was groping and my feet were stumbling in the dark. "Wh.m logic and reason gave no answer.I cast aside all pride of opinion, all thought of what the world might say or think, and went to the throne of Almighty God. There, on bended knees, I asked for light and strength, and they came. The curtains of the night parted and the way was clear. I arose a changed man. "The saloon cannot produce one veracious witness in its favor, as it1 ACTS ON THE LIVER. Dodson's Liver Tone Livens Up the Liver?Is More Than a Mere Laxative. Calomel was for years the only known medicine that would stimulate the liver. But calomel is often dangerous, and people are not to be blamed for being afraid of it. Within the last few years many medicines have been put out to be used instead of calomel, but their effect is on the bowels?not on the liver. Dr W V Brockington says that the only real liver medicine to actually take the place of calomel is Dodson's Liver Tone, a mild, harmless, vegetable liquid that he recommended to takp the nlaee of calomel and which gives prompt relief in cases of constipation, biliousness and sluggish liver. So confident is Dr W V Brockington that he gives his personal guarantee with every 50-cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone. You can be sure that you are getting Dodson's by asking at this store if they are giving you the medicine they personally guarantee to refund money on if unsatisfactory.
