ment to where they rightfuIly be-
long under the state purchasing
agent. By doing so it will be ell
minated as a political football for
the governor, the attorney gener-
al and the secretary of state to
squabble over.
Held Not Responsible
Governor Cooney was not re-
sponsible for any newspaper ad-
vertising racket of liquor COM
panies, if there be one, any more
than were the other two mem
brs of that board. They consti-
tuted a majority and for them
to make such insinuations shows
cowardice for the reason that they
did not do so when Governor
Cooney was alive and here to de-
fend himself. I take extreme ex-
ception to men issuing such state
ments now. If anything of this
sort did exist why did they not
say SO long before this? The adj
vertising should be allowed to go
where it pleases and l believe so
far as Governor Cooney was con-
cerned he would believe in such
an arrangement.
81 am convinced that the legis-
lature will see fit to place the IL
quor control where it rightfully
belongs, with the state purchas-
ing agent, and l am equally con-
WINGED that they will see the nee
essitv of eliminating liquor per-
mits, in which they charge the
public for the privilege of pur-
chasing their wares"
