Neither your space nor my time

this Infamous statement Infamous

certainly unique to say what may

ity." had thought We had in this
country one code of morals which
applies in each and every precinct OF
Texas and in the world, but the
antis at Fort Worth discovered thai
the moral welfare of the people o
one county required a differen
method of promotion OF moral wei
| fare to that of another county.
am sure that every patriotic hear
in Texas shudders at the infamous
suggestion that mo governmental
question has ever been settled right
when complicated by religious senti-
mepts. arousing the emotional pas
sions of those to whose judgment It's
solution was addressed. ~ The whole
purport OF this argument carries
with it the filthy and warranted
suggestion that men, in the exercise
of their own Judgment relative to
the affairs of their own government
must leave his conscience and all
thought of God behind, since each
of these would sorely interfere with
the proper solution of the polltica
question. / protest against such out
rageous assertions as those contain
ed in the section quoted from the
platform adopted by the ants a
Fort Worth
It is furthermore absurd 10 lnsls
as is being constantly done, tina
Hunt county has no right to dictate
| to Comal county what Legislation
should be enacted There is no law
yer in Texas but knows that all leg
| islation is passed by majority vot
of the representatives of the peopl
| in the legislature, and in said yot
| Comal county or Hunt county, ma
often be in the minority. The prom
| bition amendment is not addresse
| to Comal county, but to the free an
! untrammeled patriotism of Texas
| to their conscience and to the moral
of the combined people of Texas
| and on the amendment we do no
vote as citizens of county, but a
citizens of the great state or Texas
The vote is not counted by counties
but as an aggregate of the state
and if the amendment carries b
1000 majority in the state it VII
| be adopted So it appears that tn
idiotic twaddle about the right O
local government is but a night
mare of the demagogue trying t
traduce the people from a Just an
Indignant protest against the whisk
traffic of this state
