would rise up to champion m,
cause, just as the fact that th
saloon-keepers killed Haddocl
and Gambrell inspires me to tall
as l do.
So far as the racket about m,
religion is concerned, 1 have OF
my side such men as McGarve,
and Graham and Loos all of tn
theological department of Ken
lucky University, and Rev. DR.
Felix of the Baptist church of thi
city. That's glory enough for M
in orthodox religion, and L cal
knock out amy msf vino wsa o.
take issue With ne in my theofHe,
ical views and Dare him with /,
big d. to try it
Then among the heather
have for friends the finest pro-
fessors in the State College anG
some of the best Prohibition SITS
men and women-in the STATE
1 have never in my life / {
half chance to show what l 0uli
do in journalism.
While l am blowing my .own
bazoo, l want to make ,boss
blow of it. I don't think any.
thing is worth doing that is moi
worth doing well.
No man in America was more
earnest in his admiration OF
the "Ungodly League" editorial
of the New York Voice than
was. 1t shook the party from
ocean to ocean.
l can write from one to thret
just as good every ,Oeek.
The woods are as full of them
as blackberries in June.
/ have more of them in my
head now than I could write in a
year, and new ones are coming in
all the time.
If you will furnish me $5,0OO.0O
SO l can put my paper at a dollar
a year, 1 will carry Lexington for
Prohibition in one more year. As
soon as Lexington capitulates the
whole state of Kentucky will fol-
low except Louisville and Cow
ingtor and then we can force them
into Prohibition through the leg
islature.
As soon as Kentucky throws
up the sponge. the backbone of
the liquor snake is broken and a
woman can crush the serpent's
head with her French heel.
McGarvey and Beauchamp
have shaken this whole town like
a Charleston earthquake, and be-
fore this is printed some other
man will have swept it like a
Louisville cyclone. and Prof. j J..
Rucker of Georgetown who can
make one of the finest arguments
of any: of them, through me, vol
unteers his services to Lexington,
while my Presbyterian Brother
Rev. r. A. Walton is going to
execute regular Stonewall Jack
son Prohibition "plank move
ment" on Georgetown, and num-
bere of people have told me that
1 have done it "with my little
hatchet."
Raise the $5,OOO.OO to help us;
keep the money in the hands Of
your own treasurer; pay it out
from week to week as you think
it is effecting what you want done,
and when you see that it is not
doing that withdraw your money
and pay it back to those who have
paid it in, and 1 will 60 ahead as
/ have done. The fact that few
old sore head mugwamp church
people growl at me does not
amount to hill of beans, except
to show that the Blade is having
the desired influence.
Read the following address to
the editors of the Voice, the ma
tional organ of the Prohibition
party, by a burned fool named E.
P. Platt, that the Voice says is a
Presbyterian Sunday-school
teacher and president of a Y. M.
c. A. in New York.
Bro. Plat says to the Voice as
follows.
Gentlemen, 1 doubt if the Lord has
appointed the editor of the "Voice'
as the judge of the church, which
position he has assumed. You may
think you can stand it to allow YOU
name to continue to be associated
with such a sheet. / consider "The
Voice" so wicked, immoral and in
decent that no financial or any Other
consideration would induce m,
to allow it to come in
to my house; you are only contami
mating and Injuring your other publ
cations by tolerating such a nest o
filth under your roof Having beel
invited to subscribed to the stock C
the Funk & Wagnalls Co., take tn
liberty of thus expressing my view
of it's business.
E. P. PLATT.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Nov. 2.
Ihave printed for you the yer,
worst that has been said about tn,
Blade, and even the Democratic
and Republican papers of Lexing

tougher about me than this sane
titled disciple of John Calvin ha
said about the editor of the Voict
! the grandest newspaper IN the worl
TO- day.
