MADE A GOOD RECORD.

THE Times has another
guess coming as to the dry
votes of the Hon. Jas. N.
Sharp in the last legislature.
By his mark he shall be
known. This county and
senatorial district were
greatly disappointed in the
conduct of their representa-
tives on the liquor question.
Bates County Record.
The Hon. JAS. N. Sharp and the
Democrats of Bates county are
perfectly willing that he be
known not only by his mark but
by his standing and especially
should his attitude on the liquor
question be known both by his
mark and standing, Col. Sharp
went to the State legislature as a
dry representative, publicly an
nounced on the floor of the house
that he was dry member from
a dry county, and voted for ev-
cry dry measure introduced with
the exception of those measures
to which enemies of referendum
in Missouri had tackled a clause
the effect Of which would have
been to absolutely kill the refer
endum act in the State. Further
more in voting against these bills
with the obnoxious riders attach
ed, Col. Sharp. in one of the finest
speeches of the session denounced
the legislative tricksters who
were attempting to take from
the voters their right to vote on
public questions and boldly in
formed the. instigators of the anti
referendum clause that the peo-
pie of Bates county were intelG-
gent enough to vote on any pub
lie measure and that he did not
propose to sit idly by and allow
men who make their living by
writing confusing bills to mask
an attempt to muzzle the voters
on public questions by forcing
their nefarious schemes through
under the very thin disguise of
dry measures.
Col. Sharp represented the
sentiments of the intelligent
people of Bates county when he
cast his vote against these meas
ures. Will Mr.. Atkcson tell his
readers that their representative
should have voted against their
right to 90 to the polls and vote
on liquor questions!
