Paducah. XIV, June 26, 19i5.-(Spe-
cial Correspondence.) - Lieutenant

Thursday afternoon to about $50 PEG

Prohibitionists and Republicans, and
several Stanley supporters, all OF

Governor, honor and respect MIR. Nc
Dermott. ~; f,o-rt o1n 2frfvq
The address was Characteristic OF
the speaker eloquent and outspolsen
on the issues he. deems paramount in
Kentucky to-tIay.s ~ I'D itJJ-A
AS in his Previous speeches. Mr., NC,
Dermott gave his reasons for opposing
statewide prohibition. He served In
the Constitutional Convention and
helped place in the constitution the
provision that enables each county TO
be a self-governing unit, without In
reference from outside counties. In
the last session of the legislature
when the present County Unit Law
was passed making the constitutional
provision fully effective, Mr.. McDer-
mott stood for the Jeffersonian fun
damental democratic doctrine that
people can govern themselves on such
matters better than outsiders can gov
ern them. "
In this he agrees with his opponent,
Mr.. A. o. Stanley, that statewide pro
hibittea is net an elective temperance
measure, but, on the contrary, would
take away, without the consent Of The
governed, that most sacred right OF a
free people TO regulate for themselves,
Within their own county, moral and,
social affairs, such as the license or
prohibition Of saloons. He maintains
that whenever the people OF a county,
whose elected officers must enforce
the law, if it is to be elective, want
to abolish saloons, they can 90 50
under the County Unit Law; and that
that prohibition thus obtained Will De
exactly what the people want, II state
wide prohibition is forced upon the IN
willing people OF any county, netlIer
they nor the officers they elect. ylll
obey or enforce the Questionable law.
Such contempt of law is hprtful 70 the
character of the citizenship, and TENDS
to cause disrespect for other laws
From Paducah,, NJ. McDermott went
to Marion, Sturgis and MorganfeA,
where he addressed rather small auqb
ences; owing 10 the fact that farmers
are busy with their crops.
