it or against it. If he be
a republican he must be
for submission and for the
principle of submitting to ballot
that or any other great question of
policy upon which there is any Is
sue or difference IN opinion among the
people, and whether a man be for the
restriction or the license of the liquor
traffic he has the right to stand before
the world and be counted.
