eANEUNVARNisHED SPEECH.

Judge .A. G.S3Dayton did some very
straightforward talking against the
saloon business and saloon keepers
a1astsnight In his address before the
State Sunday School convention. but
she didn't stop there. He said he
didn't believe an honest man could
engage in rum selling and held the
whiskey dealer up to public view us
MISUNDERSTANDING citizen. but still
he didn't stop there. He followed
these statements by the nor sweep
ingtone that q man who votes for the
licensed saloon Is very little II n
better than the man thus authorized
ito sell whiskey. In fact he made 1t
pretty clear that the rum seller was
in some respects the better OF the
two for he was out In the open in
what he did, while the man who vot-
ed forsit but wouldn't engage in sell
singlit was hiding behind some one
else. That was a center shot and no
doubt caught! a few people who were
attending the Sunday school conven-
ton. Judge Dayton's address made
great Impression OF the audience
and called forth round after round of
Applause. When he said that the
whole liquorSbusiness could be wiped
out under the present laws In fve
years 1.-THE Christian people would
Edo their duty, he fastened n heavy
Responsibility on all those who be-
Slfeye that an end should be made of
