Rev Douglas hands The TIMES
the following rs the Anti-Saloon
Leagues side of the petition fight
before the Board of Supervisors!
SALOON PETITION CHALLENGED ON
THE GROUND OF INsUFFICIEN-
cY AND APPARENT
COLLUSIGN.
Not only "the wheel horses Of
the Anti-Saloon League" but
every decent, self-respecting, law
loving and abiding citizen of
Harrison county was Justly
shocked, humiliated and dis
graced by the so-called canvass
FARCE pulled off in the auditors
Office on the morning of Jan 9th,
between the hours Of Z and 7:30
a m by two members of the Board
of Supervisors. That this action
had occurred in this age of en-
lightenment is certainly cause for
SERIOUS THOUGHT. But that good
men, apparently reasonable on
other subjects, should on this be
80 far bereft of fairness and reason
as not only to allow the action of
the self-styled board to pass un-
challenged, but even to condone,
excuse and approve such n course,
is not only misfortune but a
calamity to our commonwealth.
A FEW FACTS will put this sub
ject sufficiently before the mind of
the unbiased reader. The hour
fixed and approved as evidenced
both by precedent and the testi-
mony of the Chairman of the
Board, Mr. Reif, fo1 the conven-
ing of the Board of Supervisors
was 8 O'Clock or later, often not
meeting until 10 o'clock. Now
why this meeting of two members
of the Board at z o'clock in the
morning? Why a special message
to the county auditor beseeching
him to be at his office at break of
day?
Why should men whose prayer
by day and plea by night for law,
order and the mulct saloon be
mercilessly torn from the bosom
Of their families at the dead hour
of night and driven with all pos
sible haste to the county seat?
Why should men rack their brain
and expend their muscle in pre-
pairing type written verdict for
these two members of the Board
to sign. ere the result of the can
vass was yet in doubt?
Why was the new member of
the Board, w s Kelly, 80 anxious
for official glory that be could not
wait for the ink to dry on his
official oath ere he violated it?
Why this haste? Why this un-
warranted and unprecedented
recklessness? HONEST MEN WILL
THINK.
AS TO THE CANVASS. The law
requires a public canvass of the
petition. This involves not only
that the petition be read but that
