churches aud schools and newspa-
pers. and yet in one city there are
more killings in a year than 10
Great Britain. ireland. Scotland and
Wales Personal liberty did you say?
II is personal lawlessness and per
sonal yioiousness
Mr. johnson said. by way of com
parison. that there were only three
killings in Smith county last year
and there are no saloons there. He
said there were eighteen killings in
Smith county the last year the sa-
looms were in business.
Referring to a trip made by Fred
Stevens of Liberty county to Okla
homa to investigate conditions for
the ants Mr. Johnson said What
4 was the use for fellow to jump
from Liberty county to Oklahoma to
find out how prohibition worked?
He Jumped across 250 miles of terri
tory that was as dry as the weather
two weeks ago What do | care for
what a fellow said he found in OK
lahoma? | am not voting upon pro-
hibition in Oklahoma. am not yot-
| ing upon prohibition in Tennessee,
| Georgia, Alabama or any OF the
| states the ants are pointing to as
| failures What's the use to jump oY-
| er territory in Texas that's as big as
! all those states? | am voting on pro-
| hibition in Texas, and the law Will
be enforced by Texas people. | don't
have to go any further than Ellis
county to see now the law is en-
forced We don't need any snapshots
to show how the law is enforced
here"
Mr. Johnson referred to the spe-
cial school tax that was levied in in
dependent school districts for hiring
teachers and supporting the schools
and said no one claimed that that
was undemocratic
THE trouble with the ants, ne
said, is they are too narrow mind
ed They are too short-sighted They
have got on a blind bride They |
can't see well because they have a !
blanket of selfishness wrapped |
around them. You negroes out there
ought to be patriotic, you ought to |
be better citizens than to vote for |
whisky just because it satisfies the
appetite That's the seat of trouble |
with the ants, it's in the stomach.
| can't understand why respectable |
anti viii allow his name TO be asso |
ciated with the gang that is backing |
this campaign"
At this juncture Mr.. Johnson was
disturbed by passing freight train.
That's the way the prohibitionists
are going to run next Saturday" he
said, indicating the train.
Mr.. Johnson then said that it was
! a good thing for a father to advise
his boy to associate with good com
pany but what do you suppose
your son would think of you, he
said. IF you were to advise him to
associate with the best people and
then you go to the ballot box and
vote for the saloonkeeper, the gam
bier and the scarlet woman"
Mr.. Johnson said he had a thought
for the women and in his closing re
marks he paid tribute to the wom-
en- of the state that was greeted with
storm of applause.
There has been a lot said about
the activity of the women in this
campaign" he said. THE governor
of Texas not only turned down a pc
tition of nine hundred mothers of
Austin asking him not to speak on
| the capitol or university grounds,
but he went out and said these wom-
en- and the other w8G2n in the state
| ought to stay at home more and
| their sons would not be out late at
night visiting the saloons, The time
! has come when the friends of liquor
find it necessary to trample with
| iron clad heels on the hearts of the
women of this state, They say the
women ought to stay at home and
! do the homework and patch the
clothes of their husbands and sons.
If you stop the waste of the wage
Garner he will have less clothes TO
patch The emblem of all modern
commerce and industrialism is the
figure and form of a woman. The
goddess of liberty is the figure of
woman The symbol and emblem of
Justice is that of a woman,
Mr.. Johnson referred to the inher-
ent instinct of the lower animals i'll
protecting their young, and said
The Texas liquor interests tells us
that the women of our state cannot
fight for their boys. | do not believe
they are doing wrong in trying to
get the saloons banished from this
state
At the conclusion of Mr. Johnson's
address he was kept busy several
minutes shaking hands with the men
and women who crowded around the
speakers stand.
