poor little Prohibition paper ca,
, keep you all crying half the time
and appealing to the public 70
, sympathy for the way the BLADI
treats you. If Prohibition i
,, wrong, and Democracy is right
why don't you answer me with ar
gumcnts that knock the stufIing
out Of Prohibition? IL is a fact that
while about forty fellows proposed
to quiet me by brute force since tho
BLADE started the last time, no
body has ever proposed to do It by
argument. You are bound to sec
this, and ought to know that it will
lgct in its work upon Democracy
When I alludc to Democratic
papers I do not count the Ledde,
Of this city as anything. Mr.,
Howard calls II weak knccd,"
and that is the opinion of it in the
city.
| It Is very valiant IN its attacks
upon things a thousand miles of
from here, but you will find that
it is not going to say much against
Democracy in Lexington.
II there is anything in the
world that I do know, it is theol.

these two subjects, just like l had
my fingers on the public's pulse,
and it doesn't cost me any trouble
to find out. They meet me on the
street and tell me, and write me
letters from distance and tell me.

taking drink and l said to the
