A SUICIDAL POLICY

The injection of the temperance
question into the politics of the
present gubernatorial campaign is a
mistake that the responsible heads of
the Antl-Saloon League will have
cause to seriously regret. The Mann
Law IS already an accomplished fact.
instead of beautiful theory to be
demonstrated in the future. If if
proves good law, the people will see
co 1T that it shall not be changed
except for the better; and if it proves
otherwise the same power can correct
its faults, irrespective OF who is
governor. Little or nothing has ever
been or can be accomplished for tenn
perance by making the liquor traffic
matter of politics. On the contrary.
when temperance has been made a
political question, it has always gone
down in defeat. And the reason is
plain.
Unjust be met alone, and free from
any entangling alliances with other
questions, if it is to be settled Alright.
An incalculable injury has been
already done to the temperance cause
and the nomination of Judge Mann
not only will practically destroy the
movement, for the next generation,
but have strong tendency to Re-
publicanize the State.
A great many conscientious tenn
perance men have become impressed
with the belief that it is their moral
duty to vote for Judge Mann simply
because of his connection with tenn
perance legislation. They overlook
the fact that he cannot have any
power except to affirm or veto the |
acts of the General Assembly. 4
On the contrary, if he should be
nominated, he will poll much less
than the normal Democratic vote,
and may be defeated.

ONE Of the chief arguments of

Swanson is as bad man as some of
them would have one believe thew

The Inconsistency is not apparent.
Just the reverse is true. Four years

His intimate friends repudiate the
