People's party paper. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1891-1898, 1896-09-04
DON'T be Deceived,

The people. to read the Constitu
ton and the Journal and some other
papers, would conclude at once that
they are actually prohibition papers
and in favor of local option. But
the truth 10 this, they are not prohi-
bitionists nor in favor of local option,
only as local option, they believe 10
be the only plan by which Atlanta
and other cities can hold on to their
saloons, Every liquor. seller in At
lanta will cry Justify for local option,
because in that he sses his only hope
for continuing his business. Every
man in Georgia who favors local
option, now, whether he intends it
or not, is playing into the hands of
the sly liquor sellers of the State.
Again, to read these esteemed
papers, these pretended local option
organs, one would conclude that the
Anti B :rroom Bill is to be showed
under almost unanimously by the
next legislature. This is not funny.
Never has the Anti -Barroom Bill
been so popular. The house of re-
representatives. and the senate, at the
approaching session, will be revela-
ton to the liquor dealers and those
who have so suddenly become probi-
bitioniats of the local option sort.
The Anti arroon Bill viii pass by
handsome majority in both houses
in spite of the pretended friends OF
the local option lav.
Don't be deceived, Work on for
the Anti Barroom Bill, and send it
through the legislature with such a
majority as shall forever settle the
question in Georgia as to the real
sentiment that exists on the sale of
whiskey. Don't be deceived by any
exhortation that GENES from the
saloon side. Vote for men who will
vote for the Anti Barroom Bill in
the next Legislature. Il you can't
Gnd that man in one party, then hunt
him in some other party. Vote for
man who will give his strength for
the passage Of the bill that an over
whelming majority of Methodists,
Baptists, and other denominations
believe to be ths salvation Of the
State from the curse Of whiskey.
DON'T be deceived when they tell
you that it is but an effort to put the
curse Of the South Carolina Dispen.
sary system on orr State. Deny it
wherever it is heard. While that
system would be vast Improvement
in the whiskey business ia Georgia.
the Autl- Barroom Bill is thousand
times better.
Don't let them deceive you. They
will if they can, but the Wesleyan
teaches you, and represents the SEN
timent of our strong and determined
church when she does, TO vote for
men for the Senate and house of
representatives who will vote for the
Anti-Barroom Bill. Ii neither of the
candidates in your couuty will pledge
to do this, then put out one that will.
There is no time for trifing now,
The Anti-Barroon Bill must pass
and become a law in Georgia.--The
Wesleyan Christian Advocate.
The reformers of Texas propose TO
have Hon. Tom Watson on the ticket
or not vets it. Ii Mr.. Bryan thinks
he can turn the Peoples party of the
South over to the Democratic party,
he is off his base. No Watson no
Bryan, is the cry, and it will be car
ried out to this letter. Hon. Tom
Watson is the only hold the Peoples
party has left, AID they propose to
hold on to him. In any event, South
ern reiormers could not be induced
to vote for such a mau as Arthur
Sewall.-Southern Mercury.
