Judge Templeton says There

courthouse. where, admittedly, VIC
lations of the law continue from day

yestigation By the last grand jury
and strenuous efforts made since
show that 1t is not true
/ He says: "All good citizens want

single violation of the local option
law or If he knows of any one who

sold. but If Judge Templeton or any
one in Ellis county know of whis-

having been sold at these places

for campaign purposes only
! He says again: "A continuation
of an apologize policy means still
more fragrant defiance of law. If the

enforce the law what is the remedy
| He speaks of more fragrant defiance
of law Can Judge Templeton or any
of his friends point me to one single
violation of the local option law?
| Can they give me the name of a

ty who knows of violation of the

law is tiagrantly violated he ought
to be able to do this easily. On al
most every stump in Ellis county
offered my opponent a s. gold piece

for. | now ask Judge Templeton to
produce the evidence of one single
violation of the local option law and
the s. is his.
