DEBAUCHING THE
ELECTORATE
Having no Argument Besides the Ap
peal to the Dollar, it i Proposed tC
Dominate With Money.

| 1t has been the boast of some of the
advocates Of the saloon for revenue only
that with money they could buy the
election
That the saloons can obtain all the
money which they may need to corrupt
| the electorate, if they can, IS conceded.
T he i-prohibition forces have al
ready a large accumulation of money.
which, from reports, they are placing
where it is expected to do the most
good,
1t is fact that it is very difficult, al
most an impossiblity, to trace and prove
the crime of bribe- giving and Of bribe-
taking, but the prollibtlonlsts being
alert have already several clues to in
dividuals who have been influenced with
money III the interest of the saloon.
1t is a fact that men. we'll known, re
siding i'll the rural districts, who were
pronounced and uncompromising prohi-
bitionists have been converted to the
saloon. of which they are enthusiastic
advocates since their return home from
Shreveport
There can he no crime more contempt
ble than be-giving and bribetaking.
1t is not possible to limit the extent
to which a man may go, in giving or III
taking a bride. TO carry into effect an
act which is devoid Of argument and is
detrimental to the welfare of the people
Judas Iscariot was bribcd for thirty
pieces of silver. He hanged himself
through remorse.
How depravcd is the man who will
sell himself for few dollars!
There have been instances when some
men have been influenced to change
their vote from one candidate to an
other. i'll political contest or at an
election, and while a crime, punishable
by fine and Imprisonment, It has never
been regarded i'll the same light as the
crime of being bribed to defeat, if pos
sible. an issue in which morality is en-
listed against evil and crime
Any man, no matter who he be. and
regardless of his standing. be it high or
low. who will offer or attempt to bribe
another is public enemy.
And any man who will sell his vote
asS-his influence to briber. is TN
worthy of respect
For all such there is law. and there
is prison, and there will be no hesitation
in holding amenable the bribe-giver and
the bribe- -taller.
Some of these are already known and
are spotted by the Prohibition League

Since the saloons were closed on Sun

The Avery Plough Company works

JEFFERSON DAVIS
A Letter Written by the President OF
the Confederacy Published by the
Committee Representing the Saloons.

When Jefferson Davis resided at
Beauvoir, Miss, in answer to a letter
from his friend, Col. r. p. Lubbock. he
wrote freely in his views on prohibition.
This letter written at Beauvoir, Miss,
is dated July 20, 1887, more than twenty
years ago. His friend desired his opin-
ion on a constitutional amendment bear
ing on prohibition, then pending i'll
Texas
As Mr. Davis was strict construc-
ZIONIST of individual liberty, it is not sin
gular that he did not favor prohibition,
as he understood it, but he viewed with
| favor the regulation, if possible, of an
evil which has developed into national
curse.
In publishing this letter Of Mr.. Davis
the purpose was to influence, if possible
voters to the side of the saloon.
It may be said that when this letter
of Mr.. Davis reached Texas it was an
swered vigorously by Mr.. Reagan who
had occupied the office Of Postmaster
General in the days of the Confederacy
and this letter the prohibtionistS may
secure for publication if desired.
But the intent, in the publication ot
the letter of Mr. Davis, should be suf
fcient
TO drag Mr. Davis name and fame
INTO a contention connected with thu
saloon would seem almost sacrlleglous
This appeal for votes for the salool
should be resented.
While it is true that Mr., Davis, as ;
| strict constructionist, would not favo

his people, endured without murmu

Mayor Bingham had different idea
he is a man of ideas. With the very
same weapons which had rusted in his
predecessors hands he did close the
saloons and kept them closed. The same
police force, the same board of public
safety were moulded into an engine of
might at the behest of one man who
was honest, courageous, and meant what
he said.
