The Voters Must be Respected.

Dear Editor: I noticed in your
last paper where the dispensary
question was to be carried to the
Supreme court. 1t seems to me
from Mr. Evans statement that a
few people in and around Pickens
think that they have a cinch on
Pickens county aud Will run things
to suit themselves regardless Of
the voice of tho people. From
what Mr.. Evans says Some one has
misrepresonted things. l do not
understand how any citizen can
uphold thing like The dispansary
when it is voted out by such a ma
joritY, even if there were a few
names on tho list that wore ille-
gal
1t seems to mo that tho voters
ougt to be respected. ] am sure
that in the town Of Pickens, az
elsewhere III tho county there
were some as good men against
the dispensary as were for it aud
about two to one. I believe that
voters Of Pjckens know what they
were doing, and [ consider the
steps taken by those few men as
unwise indeed.
The merchants can talk for the
mountain people as they call thom
if they wish and misroprosent
things as much as tbey please, but
thoy had better step and consider
as they are liable to be glad to get
corn at any price. They must re,
membar that the country people
have been very liberal IN giv1ne
them thoir patronage, and their
circumstances re such that tbey
cannot be forced.
The registration books will show
that the dispensary elcctloa was
legal and next year tho county
