A CORRECTION.
Judge Hooker. of the supreme Court,
Contrndicts the Ailsged-tntcrview
Which Appeared in the License
supplement OF Last Week

Contrndicts the AIlesed-fnterview
Which Appeared in the License
supplement- OF Last Week.
In the license supplement which APP.
peared la several lonia county papers
last week, there is an alleged interview
with Judge Hooker OF the supreme
Court of Michigan Judge Hooker Is
represented as saying, among other
strong statemen against local option,
that the evils of drink under local OPP
tion are as bad, II not worse, than un-
der license, and that he thinks license
the most practical aud successful way
of dealing with the liquor traffic.
The alleged Interview with Judge
Hooker appeared IN the Battle Creek
Moon several years ago, during the
local option campaign in Calhoun
county. Judge Hooker was judge Of
the Circuit Court OF Eaton county, aud
since Eaton county was under local op.
ton at that time, great weight has
been attached 10 his alleged opposition
to local option.
Thinking there might be some mis-
take about the matter, ! sent a marked
copy OF the license supplement 20
Judge Hooker, and In persoal letter
asked him as TO the facts regarding the
interview. The following is bis reply.
and will speak for itself:
Lansing, Mich. March oath, 1904.
Dear Sir:-Eour letter is received
and can only reitorate what have
frequently said, that the alleged inter-
view is entirely inaccurate and has
oeen frequently c0ntradicted, AZ wall
appear from the column OF the paper
| ia which il first appeared, issued day
or two later.
| do not know OF any effective way OF
preventing mendacity, hence | suppose
that this alleged Interview will con
tinue 10 appear for want of better ar
guments to sustain the cause of the
liquor seller, Very truly yours,
FRANK A. HOOKER.
p. S.-This canard has been eXplod
ed so many times that | think IL +
pretty generally understood, and viii
| iniure more than IL will aid the cause
| ia which it is used
The alleged interview has been con-
tradicted by Judge Hooker In almost
every local option campaign since ia
appeared IL is only fair that the yot
ers of lonia county shonld know the
facts ia The case. H.. n. SPEAR.
