"Your threat is as impotent as it is

The churches cannot afford to al
low politicians to drive them into
personal contests and party cam
paigns. We can open our churches
and our pulpits to close the saloons;
but we cannot open them to put any
man into office or any party into
power Politicians would like to use
them for the furtherance of their
schemes, as they always seek to use
the agricultural organizations of the
farmers. They would, for the
achievement of their ends, wreck our.
churches as they wrecked the alli-
ance.

might be willing to have convulsions

so far lost consciousness as to lose

Let us beware of the prohibitionist
who jumps to tie front on a spec
tacular occasion, or when the issue
IS so entangled In personal or party
politics that an opportunity is pre-
sented to pay political debts of the
past or create obligations for future
use; but who "lays low and keeps
on saying nothing" when the naked
issue Of "wet or dry" is presented. :
For example. it was easy for Mr..

of the brilliant ard beloved Grady,

bate when the victory for the local

Constitution -

in The Constitution Of July Oath, but
friend has handed me a copy Of
the paper of the 25th, containing his
lengthy lucubration covering his
record, and reply to it furnishes
an opportunity to set forth more
clearly than ever some principles of
great Importance to the cause of pro-
hibition. Hence 1 write again.
Mr.. Watson tries to make it ap-
pear that there is a kink in my rec
ord of which | would be rid. The
kink is in his head land his record,
too, perhaps). My attitude in the
campaign of 1896 (not my part, for
took no part in that campaign), is
the position which l hold today, and
it is one of which might feel proud,
if pride were a proper passion.
In that campaign Mr.. Watson and
his party associates undertook to give
the people of Georgia dose of pop
uhsm In capsule of prohibition.
They misled some good men. But
when it was given out, without my
knowledge or consent, that | would
stump the state for the nominee of
the populist party for governor, I
promptly contradicted the state
ment, and. deprecated the effort to
use the prohibition cause for any
party ends whatsoever. l pointed
out that our cause had nothing to
gain and everything to lose by such
mesalliance. A majority Of the
white prohibitionists in Georgia
agreed with my view of the subject,
and refused the prescription Of the
populist, doctors, among those who
refused being the champions Of the
anti-barroom bill in the legislature,
which was elected at the same time
Well, Mr.. Watson does affirm that
all those noble men who refused to
follow him have a kink In their rec
ord and that the saloons got the bene-
fit of their influence. He may so say,
but if he does the statement will be
as false as it will be futile-as gra-
tuitOus and groundless as the charge
against me which he lugged into the
columns of his paper without provo
cation to justify it, or facts to sus-
tain it.
Neither these men, nor /, gave the
benefit of our influence to the sa--
loon, and this Mr.. Watson knows
full well.
will tell him who got the benefit
of our influence. We gave it to the
cause of non-partisan and non-per-
sonal prohibition--a cause too sacred
to be prostituted to partisan ends and
too holy to be used for the selfish
purposes of personal ambition. We
refused to lend our influence to po-
litlcai scheme, which, however it may
have misled some good men, was, as
to the partisans who conceived it.

to what did they run it at last? Did
they not seek at last to defeat the
gallant Gordon for United States
senator9 And with whom did the
politicians seek to beat himq Let
recent dispatches from San Francis
co give the name of the man whom
the politicians tried to put in the
senate in preference to Gordon. And
the prohibitionists tried to use the
"alliance legislature to compass
this end. The farmers saw the trick,
and refused to go forward with the
politicians in such work.
Some of the same politicians tried
to use the cause Of prohibition
few years later. Suppose the prohi-
bitionists had followed them; what
would have been the result? Prohi-
bition would have been held respon-
sible for all their vagaries, follies
and iniquities, and it would have
been thereby set back quarter of
century. Even as it was the cause
was injured, and it is just now re-
covering itself.
We may easily imagine some of the
things which would have come to pass
if that movement in 1896 had been
successful when we remember that
the man whom the populist conven-
tion nominated for governor in 1896
championed in the legislature a few
years later a bill for dispensaries
from which Georgia was saved by the
timely and wise use of the veto by
Governor Gambler. And a dispensary
is now running in the county of
Floyd under a bill, the passage OF
which he secured. I was invited to
speak to induce the people to vote
for that dispensary. I declined to
be used in any such way to the in
jury of prohibition.
The assumption of Mr.. Watson is
that the populist party had the pow
er in 1896 to create a situation in
which every prohibitionist in Geor-
gia would he forced to support that
party or to give the benefit Of his
influence to the open saloon. But
neither that party nor any other
party has the power to present any
such alternative to me or to any
other man. I never let up for one
hour in 1896 in my lifelong opposi-
tion to the saloon, nor did l yield
for one moment to the effort to whip
me into line with partisan politics
and politicians. A
The politicians have not created
the prohibition sentiment in Georgia
or elsewhere. nor can they take charge
of it. That has been erected, in the
main, by the non-partisan efforts OF
the Christian churches. Tn those
churches are democrats, populists
and republicans. We do not propose
that our churches shall be divided
and destroyed by dragging them bv
the heels into any party. Our mem.
bers have the right to choose their
own party without censure or coer.
cion, and they have a right to unite
without regard to party lines in fur
