QUITS Declares that there is Band of
Oonspirators Working to Get Complete
Control of the Dispensary for their Own
Peouniary and Political Advantage.
Mr.. d. A. G. QUITS, who was recently
suspended by the State board OF con-
troll, and who has been connected with
the State dispensary longer than any
other man, has given to the newspa-
pors the following.
A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
1t seems that the Augean stables
need cleansing. | am no Hen les, but
| can at least do u part of the work
have been connected with the dispen-
sary for over six years. That | have
been honest and faithfl IL in the dis
charge OF my duties Is proven by The
fact that when my enemies on the
the only excuse they could find for my re
moval was an allegation that had viola
ted q rule Of the board,a rule which two
members of the board assert was modi-
fed to permit that which was dischar-
ged for doing. | am strong believer In
the dispensary law, and have done all
in my power to make it IL success. |
still believe with it's administration in
the bands OF honest, pure and able
men it Is the very best solution OF the
liquor problem.
During my years Of service in the
dispensary ! have seen a number of
things done which | knew were wrong.
These | reported to members Of the
board, who were | knew honest, able
and pure. They thought, however,
that it was best to say nothing public
ly about the wrong doing until men
like themselves were a majority OF the
board. They believed in the .dispen-
sary and earnestly strOve to make it "a
success. In their judgment the dis
pensary could not withstand the effect
Of such exposures, If its control was in
hands OF the men against whom these
exposures were made. They wanted
to save the law for the great potential
good that was in ~. But as the con-
trary element has grown so confident
of it's power that 1T has gone to turning
