The Senate had up the whiskey
question again on Thursday night.
After the disposal Of some minor mat
ters Senator Talbsrt called up his pro-
hibision Dill. Senator Rsysor moved
to Indefinitely postpone the bill. Sen.
ator Talbest then took up bis a1gu.
ment. He said that prohibition was
pretty badly buugled up between the
dispensaryites and sntis. He said
thas enough had bean ssid, but that
be had few words to say. he said
that he was still opposed to both
State and county dispensa,y system.
he mas as much right to vote with
the dispsnsary as did some OF the local
optlonists who were In favor Of high
license. He denied that he had sold
out the dispensary crowd, and stated
thai those who had said 50 were liars.
He saic that If he could get prohibi-
ticn with the dispenssryites he would
accspt 1t. He said that there were
too many politicians In public life and
too few men, and that no Office could
persusde him to vote one way OF the
other. He stated that he did not be-
iisVe that any man could continuously
dabble with whiskey and remain hon-
est. Both sides were throwing bou-
quess, be said, and be suspected both
sides. but he would stand by prohibit
tion no matter what the others did.
