Difference BETWEEN
POLITICIAN AND PREACHER
believes People are More IN
Need Of Truth and Righteous
ness Than Prohibition

Charles IHoffmeyer has rnNde a
statement In regard to his part In the
anti-resubmlssion meetings, He says
that at the Sunday meeting one ofsthe
ministers made q speech telling that
the brewers and saloon men had lor-
ganized for carrying Oklahoma and
that they had a roll Of long green
as big as his arm. The minister Qs
alleged to have said that one Of oAr
own citizens had made speech At
the preliminary meeting at the N. u.
church south. Friday night In the
interests of the saloon element. Hoff-
meyer says that when someone spoke
up and said: Eyes. be is here now"
he knew he was meant. although be
dIsclaimed any such speech was at
tributed to him Mr.. Hoffmeyer says
he did make q few remarkesyo the ef'
feet the people we-e more IN need Of
truth and righteousness than anything
else IN the world, prohibition not OK
cepted.
One Of the remarks ayowed by Hoff-
meyer Is this THE only difference
there Is between professional poll
tician aud q professional minister Is
that the politician has principle
enough to let the minister alone, but
the minister has not principle enough
20 mind his own business and let poll
ticlans alone. They are both out for
making an easy living at the expense
of the people And the one cares just
