The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1909-07-29
REPLY TO The TRUE
BLUE REPUBLICAN
You Have Given the Lie Direct. Dare
You Stand Convinced and Proven
FaIsifier Before the Public.

True Blue Republican, and who signed
his article Friendsvile, Md, altho |
suspect he does not reside at that town.
undertook to answer and condemn the
the open letter that issued several
weeks ago.
Now, Mr.. True Blue, in your braying
like donkey you have demonstrated
one of two things: You are either a
thick headed ignoramus or if you inten-
tionally made the charge that you made,
then you are straight-out liar!
In the first place you state that l am
Prohibitionist and not a Republican
because of my stand on the liquor
question. Here you at once show that
you absolutely know nothing about the
issue. The Prohibition party stands as
it always has stood for immediate and
absolute prohibition, the complete de-
struction of the liquor traffic. The Re-
publican and Democratic parties have
not made any declaration on this ques-
Will D"I llSH III SlNHeI party nave
time and again stood for local option.
and men in either party have legislated
the saloon out of certain localities where
pubic sentiment demanded it.
You charge the Anti-Saloon League
OF Baltimore City and some raw legis-
lators, including myself, in exempting
Oakland from the local option bill
First, permit me to beg pardon of
you poor misinformed whiskey soak (for
| presume such you are or you would
not be lamenting for this traffic to in
form you that no such organization ex-
lists as you have named. Please call it the
Anti saloon League of Maryland after
this. Now if you accuse me of being
instrumental in exemption Oakland you
lie; can prove to you or any other man
that objected to all exemption when
the bill was in the House
You say the saloon was Iegislated out
of Accident and Mr.. Miller at the dis
tillery was given the right to sell liquor
with out a. vote. Do you know, or
don't you want to know that the same
one mile limit that closed the Accident
saloon also closed the saloons at Bloom
ington and in No. s, and | have still in
my possession a petition signed by
majority Of the voter in No. 4 appealing
to the legislature to close the saloons in
that district. The same appeal came
from Accident and the most prominent
men from No. were demanding it.
Why don t you condemn all these people
and call them Prohibitionists? Why do
you single out one man and vomit forth
your rot? Why don't the people in No.
) petition. for a vote? They have the
same privilege that Grantsville used.
Now he brays forth another gulf of
froth. See here, Mr.. No. Nothing. the
Democratic party, being in the MAORI
ty, prevented the passage of any sep
crate County Primary law. In Section
4, of the Primary law the following is
found: That any law or laws hereto
fore enacted affection the subject of
primary election in any of the respec-
tive counties of the State be and the
same are hereby repealed. " You
further state that | voted for the pre-
sent law. That statement is lie on its
face. On page 1891 of the journal is
recorded the vote on the Corrupt Prac-
tice act and on page 1913 is the vote Of
the Primary election law and | am re-
corded in the negative.
You asked me to make a manly ex-
PLANTATION of my vote Now you make
an explanation of this dastardly lie.
VIII you do it? l dare you to do it, Put
the above in your pipe and smoke it,
you narrow minded bigot,
You throw out the insinuation that |
accepted the suggestion of the Journal
and that that paper is my support, and
| am being used by it. Another false
statement, and as for the Journal sup
porting me, if it does don't suppose
that | should tell her to stand back.
And now he rants and raves about the
public printing. You have no logical
argument to make against the PROPOSE
ton | favor, hence you resort to ridi-
cule. Indeed | have CLEANED but one
thought that might be used with profit
from your rawlings here in opening your
ignorant eyes. | suppose one might as
well throw this article before swines.
Some one has said there human hogs.
but never knew that they signed up
T. 3. K.
And now comes his masterstroke. |
voted for an act to fix the qualifications
of voters in municipals election in the
city Of Annapolis,
Turning to the House Journal | find
that every Republican present in the
House on that day voted for the bill,
and according to this great Judge Of
political action, aided the enemy of NV
party How about the other Rerubl-
can members Of the House, including
the floor leader, are they all traitors?
What a shock, The rise of this little
headed ignoramus to the high and ey-
