Mr.. Robert Warren,

Ny Dear Sir;
1t has already become man.
ifest to every intelligent citizen
In the state, that against me in
this race is arrayed the solid, ac-
tive and vicious opposition of the
liquor interests. The distillers,
the brewers, the rectifiers, the
saloon keepers, and all of those
engaged in the manufacture or
sale of intoxicating liquors, are
at work with their energies aud

county unit law, against which
they have waged such relent.

are still against that law, and i'll
they should get control in Ken

such men the liquor interests of !
Kentucky are planning to accom-
plish the same victory in Ken
lucky as they did in Indiana.
They have never accepted the
county unit law, and In every
coanty where it is tried they
tight not only its adoption to the
last ditch, but they fight its en-
forcelnent after it has been ad-
