In answer to one point in the ad
dress of Mr. McGettrick, Democratic
candidate for governor of Vermont, at
the rally on Wednesday, that the pro
hibition law makes liars, perjurers
and sneakes. it may be quoted from a
speech of the late Judge Thompson OF
the supreme court of this state that
every criminal law does that" and
he further stated: There are many
who think pretty decent people will
lie in a liquor case. But such men
would lie at any time in their own
interest" It may be remembered to
advantage that last falls prosecution
and punishment of such perjurers
created some healthy sentiment on
that subject
