The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1884-10-09
A Word to the Temperance Voters.

We have before US copy Of the
"South- West, paper published in
Cincinnati. The following is its mot
to: A Journal Devoted to the Beer,
Wine and Spirit Trade"
We will use several Of its articles
this week, and we will say in advance
that it is entirely different from the
Democratic papers. 1t is, in the
main, truthful, and states the plain
facts, without ''uDjustifable prevari-
cation" as preacher once called it,
when he was caught lying.
Here is an editorial, which is every
word true:
If there is a man in Ohio who de-
serves we'll of the saloon trade it is j.
W. Newman, the nominee for Secre-
tary of State on the Democratic tick
ct, for the reason that he granted an
incorporation to the Saloon-Keeper's
Association Of this city after his Re-
publican predecessor had refused it.,
saying that ''the saloon business is an
illegal traffic" The Republican
Attorney General threatened to sue
Secretary Newman for what he did.
and the latter told him to go ahead
and The would face the responsibility" :"
Saloon men of Ohio, if you won t
stand by such man as that you don't
deserve to have a friend.
Here is another editorial:
Mr.. Leo Ebert, of Ironton, who was
nominated by the Democracy of the
District for Congress, is President of
the Ohio State Brewers Association
and probably one Of the ablest defend
ers Of this interest in the State. Such
a man would prove a more useful
friend in the National Legislature
than half dozen average Congress-
men, and we sincerely hope the brew
ers Of Ohio will undertake to secure
some united action to aid, if possible,
Mr.? Ebert's election.
And here is another:
Read what correspondent writes
of the Republican nominee for Secre-
tary of State. If saloon-keepers
choose to vote for such crank in
stead of Newman, whom we know to
be liberal man, they have stronger
stomachs than we had supposed.
Here is an extract from an address
by the Seneca county Democrats,
which is indorsed by the editor:
In 1883 the Scott Law was passed
and johnson voted with Fosters
packed Supreme Court, in holding the
law constitutional and again this
year dissented from the majority of
the judges and held the Scott Law
constitutional; and now this same
man johnson is a candidate for re-
election for Supreme Judge on the
Republican State Ticket, and also one
J. S. Robinson Of Hardin County, a
member Of a. Temperance League in
his own town, is candidate for Secre-
tary of State, and now is the time for
the liberals to speak their sentiments,
and arouse to action and vote against
and do all in their power to defeat
these candidates and exponents Of
Temperance Fanaticism.
We have rebuked them twice, and
must. keep on until they are silenced.
Let no stone be unturned-let all
LIQUOR dealers and free-thinking
men turn out. Put your shoulder to
the wheel, be at the polls, and do all
in your power to defeat and complete
ly wipe out, and forever, the said
johnson, Robinson & Co.
We ask the $500 good, true, hon
est voters, Of both parties, who one
year ago, voted for prohibition in
Jackson county, what do you think of
this. and what do you propose to do,
about it on next Tuesday?
