ton Of United state senator's by

publishing of campaign expenses
SD that the people would know
where the money was coming
from that was putting men into

"Never have | felt more pre-

PROHIBITION
Was THE Theme
OF MRS. ARMOUR
i'm Her SPEECH YESTERDAY
She ChampiORed Pope Brown
and Scored Russell

With characteristic Vigor and ear
nestness Mrs. Mary Harris Armour
discussed yesterday at a public meet
ing at the Opera House the issues and
candidates in the present gubernato-
rial campaign.
Mrs. Armour was to have spoken at
11:30 o'clock, but an accident to the
automobile in which she came caused
delay, so that the hour was post
poned until O'Clock in the afternoon.
A large audience greeted her, and
her address claimed careful attention
and generous applause.
In her defense of prohibition, which
was the dominant theme of her dis
cussion, Mrs. Armour favored the can
didacy of Pope Brown for governor.
She was specially caustic in her ref
erences to Judge Russell, while EX-
Governor Brown came in for sharp
criticism.
There has been no trouble caused
in Georgia by prohibition, declared
Mrs. Armour. 1T is the infamous
liquor traffic that has caused all the
trouble about which we hear so much.
1T is claimed that prohibition does
not prohibit, but legal restriction does
not restrict any more than prohibition
prohibits. | am in favor of prohibition
on account of the terrible cost in hu
man lives and souls which the liquor
traffic costs. Prohibition does pro-
hibit in spite of the fact that 10000 900
gallons of liquor are. shipped annually
into eight dry states" -rs
Mrs. Armour claimed that Judge
Russells advocacy of free school
their school books, and that the people
are to drink enough liquor to pay for
their school boks, and that the people
really pay the taxes on liquor after all.
Judge Russell she dubbed not a dem
ocrat, as he styled himself, but Il
''liquorcrat"
Mrs. Armour opposed Ex-Governor
Brown on the ground that the people
of Georgia already have prohibition
and that it is unnecessary to submit
the matter for the people to vote upon
it. For them to keep 1t, according TO
Mrs. Armour, it is only necessary to
put prohibition governor, prohibi-
ton judges and prohibition legisla-
ture in power, then pass a constitu-
tional amendment making prohibition
a part of the constition.

she got a verdict
Judgment was entered against
Bauper and he went into bankruptcy
