man very much as this IS very I'M
nortant subject ard / should regret its
indeed, that anyone should not be able
TO read what ] have to say.
What | started ont to say, Mr..
Chairman, IS that this is d very serious
question. One that we have spent
days hours and nights of deliberation
over, and this Is the main luestion in
the whnle bin Here. Mr.. Chairman.
Is where we make and unmake candi-
dates for Office, And say again. We
must protect this whisley and all
Vinous and malt liquors an over this
state from any person purloining It.
We must throw around this whiskey
and liquors such protection and safe-
guard that aill show 10 the world,
what the great state OF Oklahoma has
done. and what we have done, and
make u SO strong that no man Will
stoop so low as TO purlon or steai a
pint of whlskey.
MY friend Hatchett speaks of his
mothers Bible. and say he has no
right to compare that with a pint Of
whiskey How many OF you senators
and those legislators mere, except my
friend Hatchett. has ever Thought OF a
Bible since we have been nere7 7
venture 20 say none Mr iatchett's
largument deserves to be obliterated
from the record and buried IN the dust

Bible and his cid hat TO pint af

1T seems to me that we are delaying
the passage of this bill 1 want il TO
get through, and am afraid now, that
Tie farmers down Ia Senator Wynne's
district are getting dry ! am sure
their throats are parched and that they
are crying booze, booze, And yet
Senator Hatchett would take up the
time of this senate in comparing this
great question with his mothers Bible
and his old hat..and expect us to take
such argument as that down IN our
cranium
And Mr. Chairman, I win say that
lI would like to have and trust that
Senator Echols viii withdraw his mo-
tion, in older that there VIII be no op.
position TO this great question and
that it may go through unanimously;
land In order that We may show TO the
world, when We spend fifty or one
hundred thousand dollars ia trying "a

Of the state of Oklahoma, that we have
done So
