Did the temperance people get all they want
ed when they voted for Morill? Governor Lew
elling attempted to enforce the law and had the
whole Republican machinery to fight. Judge
Hazen's court sat down on him, and then howl
was made because he did not enforce the law.
The cry became the Republican slogan during
the campaign. The liquor fellows were mada
him because he tried to enforce the law and
the temperance folks got mad at him becahse
he did not enforce it, so the two elements
"fused" and elected Morrill,. Now, Morrill,
says the law is a failure, which makes the tenn
perance people mad. He advocates state con-
troll, and taking of the whisky traffic out of the
hands of individuals and placing it in the hands
of the state, and the liquor men are mad at him.
Has each class got all they want of Morrill,
