Respectfully,
J. r. Neal on Whisky Question.

To the Voters of Polk County:
| have been asked to state my
views on the whisky question, SO
here they are:
| believe that the people should
by a majority vote, rule in all dues-
tlons, but | don't believe that Polk
county has any right to say wheth-
er Scott county should have local
saloons or not, as that would be
restriction without representation.
That would not be Democratic rule.
as we believe in a majority rule in
all questions of public matters. So
II | represent the people of Polk
county | will not vote, as their
representative, for statewide pro-
hlbltion, as ii would not be fair TO
the people of other counties whom
do not rpresnt. | believe that
the move for the referendum on
the whisky question is the thing for
all classes, and if they vote whis-
Ky out Of the state | will gladly
help put the law on your statutes.
On the other hand, if the people
vote whisky in the state, | am for
II in the legislature, if | am the
peoples choice. And as to my in
dividual vote in the county as a
voter, ! will vote as think best.
and am willing for others TO do the
same. On these principles ask
your support.
Respectfully,
j. n. Neal.

]. H. Hamilton on Prohibition.

| have been asked, through the
columns of your valuable paper, to
state my position on the whisky
question. While | feel most people
now my position, still | have no
hesitancy in stating that | am al
ways willing to leave all questions
concerning the masses to a major
ty of the people. / could not be
Democrat and not be willing for
the majority to rule, and so favor
giving the people a chance to vote
on matters of public concern, as at
the ballot box is where the rich and
poor meet on one common level;
where the laboring man has an
equal show with the capitalist, and
where one mans vote counts as
much as another's. Believing such,
| have already signed the petition
asking that vote be had under the
initiative on the liquor qestion, for
and against statewide prohibition.
After such an election, which I feel
is sure to be, if elected to represent
the good people of Polk county,
shall feel in honor bound to carry
out the wishes of the majority. AS
to my individual vote, | shall vote
for the amendment, as | am be-
lever in local option as nearest the
people interested.
1t is bound to be admitted pro-
hibition does not always prohibit,
and the law is hard to enforce
where majority favor the sale,
especially as long as the govern
ment issues its stamp authorizing
the sale and shipping into dry ter
Iritory. Law enforcement being an
essential to good government, all
laws should be enforced. If bad
law is enforced, it will the sooner
be repealed. The liquor question is
one which members of parties as
individuals differ on. Ones views
on it does not equip him for max
| ing good and useful member of
the Arkansas legislature, as there
are so many matters pertaining to
the public's interests aside from
prohibition that will be to attend
to, and if | am elected I shall. as
heretofore, try to look after every
interest Of Polk county and our
state.
Respectfully,
Jno. H. Hamilton.

for storing according to n grant of the
Council, and it vas reasonable, that a rent
was paid for the use of this storage room.
The rent was fixed at 5 Bit pr. cubic foot,
or part thereof, monthly, or part thereof,
and to be paid at the same time with the
duty. He recommended the proposal for
adoption.
2ud Member for Christiansted Town
(Sehueider) remarked, that 3 days was too
short n term to give, it ought to be II days
or 3 weeks. When n merchant got goods
without papers. which often happened, it
was Il little hard to have only 3 days free
storage; he could not get his goods deliver
ed from the Custom House without tho
papers, which sometimes first came with tho
next mail and besides people had not al
ways 40 or so dollars ready to pay duty.
HS ccgHeacY remarked, that Govern.
ment had no objection regarding the change
OF 3 times n hours, but would leave il TO
the Council to come to an agreement about
this matter, only that the fee must be paid
down together with the duty, else we would
never get it.
Bird Crown Member (Jeon PETERSEN would
second the 2nd Member for Chrisuunsted
Town. The term was too short, the goods
could not be had before the papers had mr.
rived. He would consider II days suitable.
The chairman seconded.
list Member for Frederiksted Town (CouI-
ter) said, that in the communication to the
Municipal Committee, there had not been
mentioned any time, this had been inserted
during the discussion IN the Committee.
He had no objection to prolong the time,
the only Inconvenience that might arise,
would be, that the merchants let their goods
remain MS long as possible and the Custom
