An Unqualified Promise.

An Unqualified Promise.
My friends, l am, as most of you
know, strictly a prohibitionist; and
the hardest fight is being waged
against prohibition that has ever been
made in Mississippi. 1t is a statewide
movement, and the liquor forces are
urging their followers to stand togeth-
err and vote solid for their sympathiz-
ers especially sheriffs and represen-
tatives to the Legislature But you
hear some people say: ooh, prohibition
don't prohibit" It does prohibit where
the law is enforced, and 1t will prohib-
1t in Forrest county if am elected.
For with my experience I make you
this unqualified promise-I can and I
will stop whiskey selling In this coun-
ty. For 1t is the greatest evil we
have to contend with today. Nine
tenths of the criminal cases in our
courts are traceable directly or in
directly, to the use of intoxicating
liquors. 1t causes more poverty, more
heartaches, more blighted lives, blast
ed homes and disappointed ambitions
than all other agencies for evil COM
bined. Whiskey is the enemy to our
christian religion, the destroyer of
happy homes; it fills jails with Grimm
ais, the insane asylum with lunatics,
and the whole world with idiots and
paupers. In word, 1t stands for ev-
erything that is bad and against every
thing that is good Won't you give me
a chance to wipe this stigma out of
our county? You have my promise
( you know will keep it.
A Proposition.
In conclusion. let me put this kind of
proposition to you. If some desperate
negro, or white man, either as for that,
should come to your house tonight
while you and your family are asleep
and set fire to your dwelling and try to
burn you and your loved ones to death
or should murder some of your family,
or should in some more desperate way
commit some capital offense where II
was life and death case. and you
had to send for some man to hunt
