NEW BERLIN HEARD FROM.
Something About the Joint Debate
How the Harrison and Morton
Club Cayed In on Proposition
to Discuss and Then Re-
sorted to Abuse 20
Cover los Retreat,
NEw BERLIN, oct, la,

The Harrison and Morton club OF
New Berlin have not tho courage OF
their convictions, when II comes 10 q
public discussion Of the ISSUES OF the
canvass with the Prohibition club
hence they retreat like the cutie lah
aud seek TO ink the water In their rear
with the bile from their badly dem0r'
allied liver, They blackguard uainthe
eOums OF the RepoRitory, | want TO
analyze an official document OF the IL,
and NJ club, In which they say First
1--WE the members OF the N II, II, ana
NJ. club, consider ourselves individually
aud collectively aa good temperance
men as any OF tho Pr0hibitlOnlEta," !
want 10 say that this statement Is un'
qualified false. In the Fisk ana Brooka
club we have none who frequent the
saloon habitually aa they have, on who
vote for the saloon aa they do, second,

Judge OF the paFtya policy our Cover

that we court the fullest investigation
OF our principles, and purposes ah q
party, aud of the character OF our can
dldates who stand head and shoulders
above the standard bearers OF the 4, o,
D., whose sole qualifications for the Of
lloea, seem 10 be that one IN his grand
daddya grandson, and the other q wall

"MOral towards fear discussion
That accounts for the failure OF the II,

with us. II the public knew the writer
OF the ii, q M. q, letters, there would
be no need OF my answering them aa

Lone Star State the contest is on be-
tween the Democratic and Prohibition
parties, which Is also true IN IL q,

ON the question of our voting for Mr.,
w. III. Hoover and thereby charged
with the defeat of Gr0ssman, Republl'
can candidate and the election Of Mon

lIcans, several weeks before the election,

Mr. Grossman left, and he got LETT
through Republican intrigue aud q bolt
In liquor votes, AS to Mr., Monnot's
election, we had nothing to do with H.
We voted for Hoover and n number OF
Democrats did the same, and ttc0 Re
publcans. There are Republicans In
the legislature who voted mo on tenn.
perance law, while Mr. Monnot voted
"aye."
Without any display Of egotism on
our part rs q matter Of self defence,
we challenge given number OF men
OF the Harrison and Morton club TO
show men of more honest purpose,
moral worth, active religious and tenn
perance workers, valuable citizens TO
the community, or intelligence than
those found In the Prohibition club
men who have given money and time TO
moral reform movements, while the
president Of the Harrison and
Morton club, and many Others
with him, were skulking away,
or In open opposition.
In conclusion we want the Harrison
and Morton Club TO remember
lst That we have the right Of sun
rage, given MS to be used rs we chose,
and protected In the use
2nd. That the war Is over, and the
great rebellion which now confronts us
rs the saloon, entrenched behind Re.
publican law, and winked ut by Repu6'
lican officers.
3rd. That without the liquor vote
the Republican party cannot succeed.
dth. That q Prohibitlonist who will
vote for Harrison will throw away his
vote and count on the side Of the sa.
loon,
9Th. That the responsibility Of the
voter ceases when he casts his vote for
principle, no matter whether his candi'
date is elected or not
9th. That continued prosperity OF
the Nation does not depend on the elec'
ton of Harrison and Morton.
9TH. That the principles and pur-
poses of the Prohibition party are bet
Ter calculated for the good Of the peo.
pie than anything advocated by the
Republicans In the present campaign,
If you will discuss any, or all of the
above, we will be happy to meet you.
No man who Is right, and on the side
of truth, need fear the light,
JOHN EVANS.
