w. P. Walton for Secretary
OF State

Fellow Democrats:
| was first to announce
for secretary of state, moved thereto by
the laudable ambition TO serve them in
private station. l felt too that pos
sessed the Jeffersonian test for office,
knowing that am capable, hoping that
| am worthy and believing that am
honest. For thirty odd years l have as
editor of Democratic newspapers and
helped to fight the battles of
the party, without hope or reward,
other than that which comes from duty
we'll performed. l have never asked for
an office before and do not now because
| think the party owes me anything, but
because | am sure l can be useful to it,
by giving a faithful and honest dis
charge of the duties of the important
one | seek Most of my opponents
either hold or have held Office, some
beyond their deserts, who are endeavor-
ing to perpetuate themselves in office by
making promises and offering offices
ten times greater than they would
have at their disposal. l have adopted
no such tactics, have no friends to re-
ward or enemies to punish, and if nomi-
mated will be free to discharge the du-
ties of the Office for the good of the
public and not for family benefit. in
vite the closest scrutiny of my life as a
man and as a democrat and never hav-
ing wavered in my support of Democratic
measures and candidates | confidently
ask careful consideration of my W orth
and promise, if honored, to return my
charge unsullied and unstained.
Respectfully

that point the engineer gathered the

1T is POLITICAL.

Many good people claim that the
question of prohibition is moral one
and that it should have no place In
politics. In this we think they are
mistaken. We think that we can con-
vince them that it is now a political
question.
Let us first inquire, what is politics?
Referring to our standard diction-
aries, we find that politics is defined to
be: political or public affairs, or the
conduct or contentious of political par
ties" Again referring to the lexicon,
we find that political means, Per
tanning to government, polity, policy,
politics. Pertaining to n nation or
state, national, public, civil"
Prohibition has nothing to do with
the personal use of liquor. That is
purely a moral question on which there
is no division of sentiment to any APP
preciable extent. AS such it is a per-
sonal question to be determined by the
individual and with this side of the
question the State has but little to do,
except that it Furnishes drunkenness by a
fine. This has long ceased to be po-
litical question because it is the unani-
nous opinion of the people and of law
making bodies, both state and national
that drunkenness should be punished.
But the question of prohibition is en-
tirely Independent of and separated
from this moral and personal question.
That liquor is an evil which must be
regulated, has long been recognized by
the people. The law makers have for
years regulated it without demur from
any one. Both the state city and ma
ton regulate it in any way by requir-
ing licenses to be obtained and by regu-
lating the sale by certain, well defined
laws to wit: 1t can only be sold at GER
tain designated places; can not be sold
to minors nor to inebriates; nor during
certain hours, nor on certain days and
bonds must be made by vendors of liqu-
or conditioned that it will be sold only in
conformity to law. Now the question
of prohibition is a matter of policy to
be determined by the people. One class
contends that liquor is best regulated
by the license system. Another by To-
cal option and still another class claims
that it is best regulated by prohibition.
All three of these policies differ and
find many adherents to each of them.
1t is then seen at once that prohibition
is purely matter pertaing to the exer-
else of governmental functions in re-
gard to the regulation of liquor and as
such it is purely a political question.
The question is What is the best
thing for the government to do with
the regulation of liquor, whether to
regulate it by license, local option or
prohibition. So long as men differ as
to the best policy to pursue, it is a po-
litical question and cannot be other
wise.
Men must decide this and there
should not be any reluctance among
good people to discuss it and to deter
mine it. The more publicity that is
given to it the better the people will
understand the question and the better
prepared they will be to give an intelIi-
gent vote on it. But it is claimed that
the constitution must be amended be-
fore the people can vote on it. There
fore it is highly essential that men who
are friendly to prohibition be elected in
the coming primary
