Judge William Poindexter differ
entiates his candidacy from that ~
Johnson by the fact that, although
for statewide prohibition, he claims
that statutory prohibition 10 I'M
constitutional and proposes the
quart law and other measures re-
strictise of The retail liquor bust
ness. We do not believe there ex-
lists any widespread demand for the
enactment of measures advocated by
Judge Poindexter. The great body
of the people want either statewide
prohibition by constitutional amend.
ment or they want the present sys-
TEN. which sestricts the number OF
saloons ANA confines them to the
business sea Ion of the cities and
towns In which they are situated AMI
subjects them to careful and en-
forceable regulations and permits
their abolition when a majority Of
the particular community SO de-
sire.
Judge Poinlexter IL little known
outside OF his county and the judi
cial district over which he presided
as district judge. He. like Mr..
Johnson. Is untried and his capacity
to properly discharge the duties OF
the governors high office Is entire
ly proDlematical.
There Ia nothing in his record to
especially commend him as a candi- /,
date for governor; this record being !
that more than once he repudiat ed
the platform OF his party and voted
against It's nominee. and that he re-
ceived $1,000 from the pu bile treas
ury for appearing in advisory ca
pacity to the senate committee con-
sidering charges against Bailey and
conducted himself with such emf !,
nent conservatism that he 10 favored
by Bailey as candidate for COVER !
nor. Notwithstanding they are at
variance upon the issue OF statewide
prohibitions, thus demonstrating its
irreleyancy and unimportance. M.
Bailey's support Of Poindexter Is
the explanation Of the fact that Mr..
Poindexter has any strength before
the people.
