but at the same time | do not deny any
man the right to hold whatever views
his conscience may dictate on this ques-
ton. | have my views and other men
have theirs, but whenever anybody at
tempts to inject the liquor question into
partisan politics you can depend upon it
that ! will oppose that man and the
party that takes up the question as
political issue.
"As to my opposition to Governor
Cox, | wish to state that in my opinion
he has consistently used the LIQUOR ques-
ton to advance his own political inter
ests. While he was Governor, the
names of those who were successful in
securing liquor licenses were not an
Reason Too Transparent.
"The reason for such move is too
transparent and too obvious to require
comment. Wouldn't you say that such
a move was for the purpose of obtaining
the support of all those who hoped for
licenses, and at the same time avoided
blame and censurc from those who
failed to obtain them?
at was a bald, open attempt to capi-
talize the power vested in the State ad-
ministration for Governor CoX's own
political benefit In fact, to my mind,
his whole manipulation of the liquor
question was such as to give rise to the
observation on the part of an unpre-
JUDGED person that he was attempting
to build up political machine out of
the power given him by law with refer
enCe to liquor licenses and the same use
was made of all other departments of
State, in my opinion.
81 believe, as a liberal. that the man
ner in which Governor Cox handled the
giving out of saloon licenses-t thousands
and thousands of dollars were paid out
in this county to Democratic lawyers for
legal services rendered in procuring Ii
censes-would do more to injure the lib
eral cause than anything that the pro-
hibitonsts possibly could do.
81 desire the liquor question to be out
Of politics, and I believe under the law
it is now safely beyond political Chi
canery. I have no fear that prohibition
ever will be adopted in Ohio and | wish
to say that whenever the question comes
up, this rock-ribbed Republican county
Of Hamilton will give the same old plu-
rality against prohibition, ranging from
$4,000 to 100000.
