pretty badly bupglsd up between tho
dispensaryites and antis. HI said
that enough had bean said, but that
be had q few words to say. 10 said
that he was still opposed to both

He has q much right to vote with
the dispenssry as did some of the local
optionists who were In favor of high
license. He denied that he had sold
out the dispensafy crowd, and stated
that those who had said 30 were Liars.
10 said that If he could get prohibi.
tion with tho di~spsnssryites no would
accspt IL. no said that there were
too many politicians In public life and
too few men, aud that no Office could
persuade him to vote one way or ths
other. he stated that he did mot be-
heve that any man could continuously
dabble With whiskey and remain hon
