Jimmie Walker Gives
Platform PIanks

Jimmy Walker, candidate for
+; governor, said today, the So
called prohibition laws of our
State and also the farcicial black
market tax on the sale of whis-
key has made Mississippi the
laughing stock of the nation.
Last year more whiskey was
sold in the dry state of Missis-
sippi than was sold in the wet
states of Alabama, Tennessee, and
Arkansas.
Most of our law enforcement
officers are being corrupted by
bribery, graft and payoffs.
1.-THE only way anyone can cor
rect an evil is to acknowledge that
an evil exists. l believe that the
preachers of our churches, as well
as others, realize now that their
fight against legalizing whiskey in
the past years has been in the
| wrong direction. If we could do
away with whiskey altogether, it
would be the greatest blessing
ever bestowed upon mankind;
but inasmuch as whiskey was
here before we came, and it will
be here after we are gone, l say
that the best way to curb and
control whiskey is to legalize it.
Do away with these honky-tonk
roadside joints that encourage
juvenile delinquency, crime and
killings. Do away with this back
door handout of whiskey; put it
on main street, make it a privil-
ege and an asset for a qualified
person to sell whiskey.
"This still being a democracy,
I propose a referendum vote by
the people for or against the sale
of whiskey in Mississippi.
IF the majority of the people
of Mississippi want whiskey, we
will put it on main street in pack
age stores, with enough teeth in
the law to control and regulate
it, where no minor, will be able
to buy a bottle of whiskey and
with regular business hours for
these package stores to be open.
Our State of Mississippi would
realize Is to 20 million dollars a
year in taxes from the sale O
whiskey which it is not receiving
now. This Is to 20 million dol
lars a year would make it posi-
BILE to increase the benefits for our
aged people, to build better
schools, give our teachers higher
salaries without increasing your

taxes to provide these benefits
BUT, if the majority OF the
people of Mississippi by referen-
dunn vote say they do not want
whiskey, then /, Jimmie Walker,
as your governor, will honestly
and courageously try with all the
resources at my command to re-
move whiskey from Mississippi.
We will use the National Guard "a
hours a day, if necessary; and the
roadside bootleg honky-tonks
won't open up the same night at
ter a raid or the next night. There
will be no pay offs, no graft, no

brides to your law enforcement
officials. If you, the people Of
Mississippi, want it dry, it is go
ing TO be dry.
This / know is a mighty con-
troyersial issue; but ! have the
courage to tell you my convic-
tons. Hypocrisy is not a part of
nv makeup. 1 am not afraid to
take a stand on this or any other
controversial issue. Our state
does not need to be run by love,
