Nails Rev. John Hogarth Lozier
to the Cross.
To the Editor of the Globe.
This gentleman, Lozier, is very much
deceived or thousands of other men
equally as intelligent as he are mis-
taken. He says: 1.-The Democratic
party are already laying plans and rails
ing money to help ''boom" the third
party Prohibition ticket in all the
doubtful states. This suggestive fact
has leaked out from their highest coun-
ellis. The saloons and whisky rings will
come down" handsomely to aid this
boom, because, if it is only big enough,
the Democratic party, with its saloons
and hoodlums, will rule the country four
years longer"
do not believe in mincing matters
with man who will thus deliberately
retail a Republican saloon lie. This
statement that the Democratic party
with its past record is trying to build up
the Prohibition party by raising money
to help BOOM it is falSehOod made
OF whole cloth, an assertion without a
fact to sustain it. and SANDER upon
men and women whose character is
above reprOach. And | am unchari-
table enough to believe that this man
Lozier knows it to be falsehood.
Again he says: The 'Boutelle reso-
luton commits the Republican party to
active hostility to the saloon curse.
THE ORGANS OF THE WHISKY RINGS
so interpret it, and are rallying their
cohorts against that party" Here are
two falSehOods, both black. First, the
Boutelle resolution utters not a word of
hostility to the saloon curse" does not
even mention the saloon. Neither does
any portion of the platform say word
about the saloon.
Second, ''the organs of the whisky
rings" do not so interpret it; neither
are they "rallying their cohorts against"
the Republican party.
This man either ignorantly or other
wise states that which is wholly false,
and that which is known to be false by
every
INTELLIGENT POLITICIAN
in the country.
In nearly every city of Minnesota are
saloon men working for the success of
the Republican party, as well as same
for the Democratic party. Why, the
national convention which nominated
MeSsrS. Harrison and Morton had for
its presiding officer rich manufacturer
OF Intoxicating liquor, Mr.. Estee, of
California.
Mr.. Lozier may pirate of his Prohibi-
ton sentiments as much as he likes,
but SO long as he votes the same preSi-
Dental ticket with Nj. Nj. Estee and
''Shed" Shook, his vote viii count one
for the perpetuation of the saloon
traffic.
| would like to ask this man Lozier,
I of Iowa, what he thinks of set of poll
ticians who declare that
1--WE are uncOmpromiSingl in favor of
the American system of protection;
F*. The protective system must be
maintained. The Republican party
would effect all needed reduction of the
revenue by repeating the taxes on to-
bacco, which are burden to agricult-
ure, and the tax on spirits used in the
arts and for mechanical purposes, and
by such revision Of the tariff lewS as
will tend to check imports of articles
made by our people. If there
shall still remain larger revenue than
is requisite for the wants of the govern
ment, we favor the entire repeal of the
internal taxes rather than the surrender
of any part of our protective SYSTEM"
So these sO-called anti-salOOn Repub-
licanS believe that untaxed whisky and
beer and high-taXed clothing and other
necessarieS will promote temperance
and Sobriety. or cOnduce to the general
welfare of the people?
