campaign" said the Governor in pre-
facing his remarks. = have been IN
great many, but / have never seen one
like this. 1t has been the most inter-
esting OF them all There has been
most everything and anything dis
cussed. Men have forgotten themselves
in some instances and have said Things
which they should not have said.
And during all this time l have been
reminded OF some remarks made by a
deputy marshal to me some time ago:
4 don't know what influence you may
have, but II YOU ever have influence, Dc
careful as to how you allow prohibition
to come in. When l lived IN Kansas
i voted 10 allow prohibition to come IN
ana / have regretted IL every day OF
my life. Business men and preachers
have realized that il was the wrong
way. The Mormon question may give
you some trouble out here, but as COM
pared to il prohibition VIII bring Irou-
Bile among yOu 10 which the Mormon
question will be but as a summer
zephyr compared 10 a cyclone
And from the way a certain class
Of men fly at the threats OF others ana
heap calumny and il-feeling upon men
who do not believe as they do, 1 am
brought to the belief that he was dead
right IN the matter.
Stands for Temperance.
There is no question in my mind
or in the minds OF the people OF Utan
that temperance should be adopted.
Bul / agree with The remark of the
senator when he says that IL Is lmpos-
slble to legislate morality or soberness
into any man. II must come from the
heart out and not from the outside IN.
4 have heard about sacrificing the
boy on the altar of the saloon. Now, 1
don't know where the other mans boy
is. but my boy is home with his mother,
where he should be. And so long as
God gives us wisdom TO build around
him the proper home influence he viii
remain there unless he has some le-
gitimate reason 10 be elsewhere. II
men and women would surround their
boys and their girls with better home
Influences and more home comforts,
there would be no reason TO sing %
Where Is My Boy Tonight or 10 offer
up the boy and girl on the altar Of the
saloon.
Il remember a year and half ago
when this right was Up, a friend of
mine met me on the street and said.
suppose YOU have a boy in the penl-
I Tertiary a forger or a thief, who was
sent there through the curse Of liquor
How would you feel| And / told him
that 1 would feel the same as any other
father. thar it would break my heart.
But / said. John, II l had set the eX-
ample for that boy. il I had been re-
sponslble for an environment which
had made a criminal out Of a boy of
mine, I would go out into the back
yard and blow the top OF my head off,
That's what ] would do
Appeal TO sanity.
NY friends. it's all folly to appeal
/ 10 the preJudices in speaking on this
question. 1t should be settled in a cool
and deliberate manner; not in the heat
| Of passion They should not brand
/ others who do not believe as they do
! as bribe-takers. This question should
not be settled that way.
/ 4 remember when Fuller was here
and advocated local option, and would
/ have continued 70 advocate local option
had not he been changed by the views
I OF others. He, too, became over-zeal-
/ GUS. He caught the fever and came out
/ for statewide prohibition. He came 10
me at my office 10 argue and entreat
/ and sometimes 10 threaten. And i told
| him my views plainly and frankly.
/ One day he came to me and said
| Governor, do you know that the COVER
/ nor OF Ohio advocated the same views
/ you do, and il brought the election OF
1 that my personality did not enter into
| this matter ] told him that he had
l painted Utah black and the other states
around IL were painted white. i asked
\ him in regard 10 Kansas. ] told him
/ that in Kansas the records of the in
| ternal revenue collector showed that
/ there were nearly lsNUu more retail
| liquor taxes collected than in the state
! of Utah, that there were zoo more
/ wholesale taxes than in the state OF
! Utah, there were more breWertes OPP
/ Grated in the state of Kansas than in
| the state Of Utah. And told him that
/ the same conditions that maintained in
l Utah, which he painted black, main
/ tanned in other states which he painted
white.
Il told him that when Utah went
white il would go white clear through.
told him that IT would be white to the
der the coat OF WhiteWash. was black
Utah to be clean and wholesome, and so
that when We pointed TO this state we
could point 10 IL with pride as one
among all tho rest which was spotless.
and where prohibition meant prohibit
tions that we had accomplished some
thing which all the people hope for.
Bar Il Very Near.
when one OF the deputy marshaIs
was in LeavenWOrth, Kan, with a pFis-
oneF, during that fight more than a
year ago. he happened TO meet the at
tOrney general OF the state. They were
IA a hotel, ana the attorney general
was proud OF the fact that he had
succeeded in Wiping out the saloons
from the state, that he had put them
out OF business. Yet, to the certain
knowledge of the marshal, within 30
feet OF them at that time. and under
the same roof with them was q bar
