ADDRESS OF PATrlsoN.
Temperance, Canals and the Code Are
Amonu Ills Themes.


Among Ills Themes.
Governor PATHS N In his inaugural ad-
dress discussed divers Affairs of state.
Toward Temperance he announces the fol-
lowing attitude: AS the temperance
question was one of the Issues in the last
election, / recommend that the original
BrannoclS kl.i IS passed by the house, or
one similar In par Osc, be enacted. The
Brannock measure. as thus presented,
represented the views Of the great major
ity of the people who were in favor of ex-
cluding saloons from residential districts,
1t is my opinion that it would be fair to
give the people of the state the same
right by counties as they now have by
townships villages and cities. | believe
| this would greatly benefit the people and
would result in good to the cause of tenn
perance."
Sunday laws and their enforcement are
| touched upon as follows "'rhe dignity
| Of the law must be maintained or the re-
public will decay. Lincoln said that
reverence for law should be the religion
| of the nation. This was but a strong
| way of expressing his idea upon the sub
| ject of law enforcement All Christian
| people irrespective of sect or creed should
| be in favor of law and order and should
| be opposed to lawlessness, While the
republic endures, let us advocate what
the great masses of all the people believe
