With careful deliberation ! repeat
all that said In the articles pub
lished in the daily press on June /
and Jane %, and in further cor
federation OF the correctness Of my
position stated therein, call attention
to the fact that even the state or
phans' home at Corsicana --necessi-
ty for which institution was produc-
ed largely by the saloons-has been
turned over TO, and is dominated by,
advocates of the liquor traffic and
the saloons, The superintendent,
Rev Il. w. Tarrant, Methodist
minister, was removed, and his place
WAS filled by rank anti-prohibi
ZIONIST. The superintendent of the
industrial department, who is pro
hibitionist,s was removed, and his
place is now occupied by supporter
of the whiskey interest. The same
is true of the physicians and dentist.
My information Is that every voter,
save one, who is connected with that
institution, will, If he votes in the
July election, vote for the perpetual
ton of the liquor traffic and the
saloons. The superintendent OF the
state reformatory or school FOR Ju-
veniles, at Gatesville, is a supporter
of the liquor traffic and the saloons,
and the majority of the board that
controls that institution are advo-
Gates of that traffic
ask every citizen of this state
to obtain a copy of those communl-
cations, and read and reread them.
The facts stated in them are true,
and have not been denied and they
are entitled to the thouohtful CON
sideration of every patriotic citizen.
They were not written by zealot, a
bigot, Pharisee, or slanderer,
and no men know this better than
the editors of the Record and the
Houston Post. They were written by
one familiar with the conditions IN
this state.
After calling attention to the TACT
that the board of regents OF the Uni
versity and the board of directors OF
the A. & NJ. College would, if they
voted at all, vote to perpetuate sa-
looms at Austin and Bryan, | said
BOARDS of regents and directors
with such radical views favorable TO
the liquor traffic, by their very pres
ence on those boards, restrain the
instructors in those great institu-
lions from teaching and training
against the liquor traffic and It's mi
Duties. The control of the manage
ment of the great educational lnstl-
buttons of the state, the personnel OF
which are friendly to the liquor IN
terests and against it's destruction,
is of vital Importance to its wei
fare"
The very editorial referred to
and many others which have APP
peared in the Record and the Hous-
ton Post, show conclusiVely that
among the ablest defenders OF the
liquor traffic in this state are the
editors of those great daily papers,
one the chairman of the board OF re-
gents of the university, and the oth-
err the member of the national DEM
ocratic executive committee from
Texas. The power of the papers un-
der their control to protect that tral-
fic and the saloons from destruction
Is beyond estimation, | applied to az
