Sped on the wind, like real yachts do.

assurances whether the Democratic nom
inee would be adrinking man or sober
man. Some OF these same men owe
their prestige largely 50 far As property
interests ate concerned 10 the fact that
them ancestors made it by selling in.
toNieants to other people. 1t should
also be considered that the memory of
man does not recall the time when
plenty OF whiskey was not sold in
Salem and those who are SO much exer-
cised over the question now never made
a whimper against it, when the Democ-
racy was in power, because of the fact
probably that prominent members Of
that same crowd were active in the
Democracy OF that day. The history of
these people does not show that they
were eyeIsopposite to John Barley
corn but 10 the contrary they
helped him install himself in Salem. The
main point at issue is they think they
can play This game to reinstali the
Democratic party in this county. In
support of this statement it is only
necessary to state that the Prohibition
party has had an organization in Har.
risou county several years, but those
fellows were not so conscientious about
the liquor traffic as to sever their CON
Hecfion with the Democratic party,
which is-known the nation over as the
whiskey party, but continued right along
with that party and supported its nom,
inee-. whether they were drinking men
or not. This sudden change of heart
IS not in reality. and they admitted it
in that convention by their speeches and
their actions. They are so wrapped nj,
in the Democratic party that. while they

that Prohibition was the proper thing
