The breweries are licensed only for a

The decision viii have no practical effect
upon the brewery, however, because the
question OF issuing license for 1910 is no

The dissenting Judge points out that
case beer sold TO consumers is sold only
in sealed cases and at the wholesale price,
and that no beer is permitted TO be con-
sumed upon their premises, and that no
beer has ever been sold by the glass or
the single bottle. These facts, they say,
should be taken into consideration in de-
termining what constitutes retail sales.
The dissenting opinion closes with the
following statement:
Finally. for the courts to undertake TO
suppress the brewers OF this state by the
indirect method Of refusing a license TO

years with the acquiesence OF the public

Feb. IS, 1911.
DEAR FRIENDS
want you to read every word
of this letter Mr.. Black started
has campaign by praising himself to
the skies and telling us what very
good man he is, and every time he
makes speech he reminds us of his
many virtues. At he same time he
has been telling what a bad man |
am and telling the peopls that Bar
bourville was for him for Judge.
Mr.. Black has at le1st three rela-
tives in Barbourville to my one.
Yet at Williamsburg. about three
weeks ago, dared W R. Black to
submit this contest to the people Of
Barbourvile. repeated this chal
lenge at a number of places and W.
r. Black would not dare to accept
it. About two weeks ago, at Peace's
store, in Whitley county, Mr.. Black
SAID he would leave the matter to
"Tammany Precinct, i'll Barbour
vile. and promptly agreed, but be
fore the agreement could be reduced
to writing Mr.. Black backed out.
This matter went on until Mr..
Black had his unpleasant experiences
at Corbin and Wilton with the vo-
tiers, and until we met to speak at
Artemus. Ky, and he found the PEG.
pie against him. Mr.. Black then said
he had decided to leave it TO Tam,
many Precinct. We have found out
that during the several days before
Black made this proposition. he was
trying to FIX" this precinct, aud
had sent as far as Oklahoma for a
fellow to vote. BUT he found out
that the Republicans of this precinct

For Judge
JUDGE SIMPSONS STATEMENT

Mr.. Black found that this precinct
is no, for sale This precinct is the
largest Democratic precinct in the
County. The Democrats in this pre-
met are for Black, and that is
another reason why he wanted to
leave this matter to this precinct.
Black wanted to vote the Demo.
Gratis.
We tried to hold the election, bur
Black began to object to everything
from the beginning. The officers sc.
!ected bv Black would not agree to
act as judge and clerk of the cleo.
ton, but insisted that they act as
judge and sheriff. The judge and
sheriff are the officers who decide
who are entitled to vote. If the
judge and sheriff had been selected
by Mr.. Black. it would have been in
their power to have permitted every
Democrat in the precinct to have
cast his vote for Black, and / would
l We been powerless in the courts or
otherwise to haye gotten redress
for the wrong.
Finally, MIR. Hampton, the
Republican precinct Chairman, di.
rected what Office each election Off
eer should fill. but Mr.. Blacks men
would not act. and then Mr.. Hamp.
ton went to Mr.. Black and told him
to name any two Republicans he
wanted aud he would have Judge
Sampson agree to it, but Mr.. Black
woald not agree to this. Finally,
someone proposed that Mr.. Hamp.

man, apps int four honest Republi.
cans Of the precinct to be the officers
to hold the election. l at once
agreed to this, but Mr.. Black would
not agree. Mr.. Black was asked il
he had any suggestion in regard to
settling the matter and proceeding
with the election and he said he
would not make any suggestion.
1t was very plain to every fair.
minded man present that Black was
caught in his own trap. He could
not buy the precinct and he saw
the people were against him and he
did not want the election held at
all.
The largest number of Republic
can votes ever cast in this precinct
was about Ice, and after Mr.. Black
backed out about 1913 Republicans
of this precinct voluntarily signed
written statement that they were
Republicans and had come TO Rar-
bourville on the day fixed to hold
the election TO vote for me.
