Judge l. H. Thurman, one of the
leading local option advocates of
Kentucky, delivered a speech in
Bsrdstown on Monday, December l3,
in favor Of abolishing the saloons in
Nelson county. Bsrdstown is the
home of Congressman Ben Johnson,
of the Fourth district, Mr.. Johnson
had been misrepresented in reference
to his attitude on the temperance
question by well known state poll
tician. OF this misrepresentation
Judge Thurman spoke as follows:
But why should / bother about
misrepr Is that not the
way IN Kentucky now, especially
when a man holds or is a prospect
i've candidate for office? Is not your
own most distinguished citizens po-
sition on this very question almost
daily misrepresented, and purely for
political purposes? Did not one of the
Hart county papers, bit ago. say
that Ben Johnson owned and opera
ted one of the largest distillery plants
in Nelson county, when | and all of
you know that he never, at any
time, had any interest. directly or
indirectly lin the manufacture, or sale
of whiskey. You and know, and
every man willing to know the truth
knows, that the records Of your
county clerks office, kept within a
hundred feet Of where now stand,
bear mute testimony to the fact that
the first vote he ever cast in his life
was for local option in Bardstown.
He has voted that way for nearly a |
quarter of a century. At the last |
election held in this county upon the |
question, which was three years ago,
he then voted for local option; and |
know, and everybody knows, that he
will again vote for local option next
He is a plain man of few
words, and yet a man who Is not
afraid to express his convictions. In
my recent canvass for reelection as
circuit judge of the Eleventh judicial
district, when was being fought by
the whiskey interests of that district
as, perhaps no man was ever fought
before, Ben johnson was the only
man holding public Office in Ken
lucky outside of my district who
came to my assistance. In a speech
made in the very camp of the enemy,
with distilleries standing all about
him; he boldly and plainly stated that
upon the question of local option he
stood exactly where he had always
stood; that he had always voted for
it and always intended to do so. He
has never trimmed; he has never
dpdged. Though he beats no drum,
blows no horn and never marches
with a brass band, you need never
doubt his position upon any public
question. More than that, he is a
dry man of the right kind-he
practices what he breaches, He is
one of the few men Of my acquain-
tance of whom it can be truthfully
said that neither spirituOus, vinOus
nor malt liquor ever passed his lips
"a glorious example to the youth of
this country. But came to talk to
you of other matters. You people
of Nelson county know these things
better than do.
