NOT FOR IT.
DIR. Gambler Will Not Sup
port the Populists.
POLITICS NO PLACE FOR PREACHERS.
He is a PrOhibitiOnist In Every Sense
of the Word, but as Minister
He Must Keep Out.

DR.. w. A. Gambler OF Oxford,
Ga, while in Atlanta last week,
where he came to confer with the
trustees Of Emory College, was ask !.
ed would he support the Prohiti-
ton Populist ticket. He replied !:
"Emphatically no. | am a Pro-
hibitionist and have been all my
life. | believe in and practice total
abstinence. But as see it, min
lister OF the Gospel cannot with pro-
priety take part in party politics.
| have studiousiy avoided all such
participation in party politics since
| began preaching, and l was a
preacher three years before l was
old enough to vote.''

as an issue separately" continued
the doctor, "when it is non-partisan

parties, and that ministry is more to
me than anything else I can do in
this world. / will not place be-
tween myself and its accomplish
ment any needless barrier. The
minister of God is like the church
of God, he must seek to save men
of all parties in all places. Mr..
Wesley said the world is my
parish, and the world includes men
of all parties"
Moreover, as a .Prohibitionist, l
feel that the cause is best promoted
by non>partissn Methods" he con-
tinued. "By such methods it was
placed over Maine and so it has
been placed over nearly all Of Geor-
gia. By such methods We will one
day see all of Georgia under Pro-
hibition. I believe we are in sight
of that now. Since the registration
law went into effect every local
option election held in Georgia has
resulted in a victory for the dry
side, if | remember correctly. The
anti-barroom bill has good promise
of adoption
IL dare say majority OF the
white people of Georgia are for
Prohibition, whether Democrats,
Populists or Republicans, and 1
think it would be unfortunate for
the cause Of Prohibition to be iden-
titled with the fortunes Of any party,
nor do | believe that it can be 60
identified by any action Of any
