HAN[Y TEARS
HIS HAIR
IN SPEECH
TIMES BUREAU,
AT STA--c CAPITAL.

Indianapolis. Ind. Sept Isl. Frank
Hanly, once governor of Indiana, once
more denounced the republican party
for its failure to keep the liquor ques-
ton in politics. The denunciation was
made in a speech which he delivered
at the annual anti-saloon rally at the
Indiana Methodist conference at Bloom
ington. and it was almost as dramatic
as his famous Il hate speech. which
he delivered at the republican state
convention IN this city Hanly declared
in his speech that the republican party
richly deserved the defeat which it suf-
fered at the polls last year because it
failed to make an open. positive decla-
ration against the saloon business
Hanly's speech was delivered to more
than 1000 people. and in the audience
was Edwin NJ. Lee, republican state
chairman. and. James E. Watson, who
was the republican nominee for gov
ernor against Thomas r. Marshall in
1908 Hanly stated that If he was wrong
on the liquor question Methodism had
made him SO. He denounced the re-
publican party of the state for what
he termed its ''cowardly silence" on the
temperance question in its platform of
the last campaign and announced that
in the coming campaign he would lead
the nght Oh the Ant1-Saloon league TO
force the county unit option plank into
the platform Should the efforts ofsthe
temperance forces fail to get the coun-
ty option plank into the platform the
ex-governor announced in no uncertain
terms that he would not support the
platform. "If 1T betrays its truth
again. / viii drag into light its sin. I
will paint its crime and folly There
shall be no padlocks upon my lips" he
said.
Read His Decentralization.
Mr.. Hanly's position on the temper
ance question was read at the close of
an hours address, In which he de-
scribed at length the fights he has
made IN behalf of the temperance
cause In opening his address he stat
ed that he had always been opposed TO
the liquor traffic, but before becoming
governor and being placed in a posi-
ton to wildly understand its wrongs.
he opposed it only in negative wav.
He told Of his first step in the TENN

tugs on the lakes. AS an example of
the inequalities in taxation brought
about by the alleged escape of these ves-
sells form taxation, state officials cite
the figures of taxes collected from rail-
roads for licenses to sell liquors in din
ing cars. These figures exceed by
thousands of dollars the collections
from the tonnage tax.
