To the Editor OF The Times-Gov.
Osborn is to be admired and encour-
aged for his firm stand against brew
crowned saloons" and their pxfnici-
GUS influence in politics. But what
can be said against such saloons and
their evil influences against every
good effort that can not apply With
equal force to all saloons and the en-
tire liquor traffic? What a great sight
il would be for the governor to take
a stand against the liquor traffic and
all their evil influences, and how he
would have q moral backing that
would sweep the state In his favor!
Ex-Gov. Haniy, OF Indiana, has Aub-
licly said that he is to demand a GER

ty. and should the party refuse to put
