deprecated since the crusade started
against betting on horse racing, but
according to the veteran driver and
trainer E. Geers, Europe still appre-

just been asked by cable to put price

The request came from England, and
when an answer was given that The
Harvester was not for sale at any
price, straight offer of $4,000 came
back with the result that Mr.. Geers
was notified by August Uhlen, owner
Of the unbeaten horse, that no price
would buy him.

fore the gate was closed She fell for

Now it is charged that Mr.. Car

public ridicule without just cause. No

of local prohibition whenever it could
be obtained. and was in the fight at
many points to secure prohibition To-
cally. He was so outraged by the
bold and defiant attitude of this law
less element, by their constant and
persistent disregard and violation Of
the law, that he felt it to be his duty,
when an officer of the law had been
shot down in his effort to arrest a law
breaker, that he volunteered his serv-
ices in the prosecution of the offender,
and made one of the most powerful
appeals to the Jury for the enforce
ment and vindication of the law that
was ever heard in any Of the courts
of the State. His next step was but
the logical sequence of what had gone
before of his deep rooted convictions.
He had seen that prohibition was eff
fectual wherever it had been tried,
that none of these communities would
again return to the liquor traffic and
he became a Statewide prohibitionist.
II have adverted at length to his
work as an editor and in the cause OF
because 1t is so intimately
connected with the causes leading up

and intimate relationship which ex-
listed between Col Cooper and Gov

speaking of their mere personal
friendship. l am giving utterance
now to matters of public history, well
known to every reading man in the
State He knew that Col. Cooper was
the Chief Counsellor, the Prime Min
lister so to speak of the Governor,
that it was his genius that presided
over the convention that first nom1-
mated him for the Office of Governor,
that in the last legislature, he per-
haps more than any other one indi-
personal influence, the policy of the
Governor, by having his opinions and
recommendations enacted into law.
He knew that Col. Cooper was largely
responsible for the management of the
last campaign, and for the declara-
tions that were made by the so-called
State convention. He also knew that
Mr.. Cox, the former Governor, had
while member of the legislature at
one time opposed every effort to Sc
cure prohibition, that his loyalty to
the cause of Statewide prohibition
was seriously in doubt. He knew that
between Governor Patterson and for
mer Governor Cox then existed or had
existed the most violent personal hos
tility, that there was no ground upon
which these two former enemies could
meet, without retraction, and public |
retraction of the severe charges which
had been made by one against the !
other and by both alike. He did not be-
lieve that two gentlemen could with
any degree of self respect meet in
conference, after all that had
passed unless proper explanations had
been made to the public and this was
he sentiment which pervaded his edi-
.orial comment on this meeting. /.
when therefore the meeting Of
hese two men was made public 1t
startled the State. Naturally people
inquired what could be the meaning

n his paper merely gave utterance to

he would have been left free TO engage

seeking, or was II really anger at
