TO make up a true citizenship
Governor Colquitt might talk of
| the beauties of that country which
is saloon ridden until he is cross-eye-
! ed and ow-legged, but we OF TINS
| county have personal knowledge
of the advantages to be had by driv-
! ing out dram shops And being 'sot
| i'm orr ways" we are now ready to
help the other fellows with our votes
TO get rid of this greatest curse to
humanity
The dear governor is going to tell
us Of the righteousness of charging
that 1000 saloons with their 10000
or more pensioners, control to
dangerous degree the politics Of this
great state, but knowing that only a
few years ago the liquor interests
through the saloons were the pal-
ance of political power in Ellis coun-
ty. Gov Colquitt's "reminiscences
along this line will not carry much
weight We are daily made to real
ize the freedom of true citizenship
because Of our escape from the
bondage of that traffic which Gov

His excellency. the governor, if he
can be prevailed upon to tell the
truth. must admit that this is the
spirit with which he has been greet
ed in all these counties which are
now enjoying the blessings of free

| II, by coincidence or otherwise
putting the saloons out OF business
puts the skates under dear UoVer
nor Colquitt, the blame is altogether
his. Texas has tired OF saloon pom
