Mr. Editor: In closing my review
of Mr. A. W. Davis' defenso Inst
week. I promised to rr.urn to tno
subject ngnln ns I considered II un
fair to ask for so much of your
space.
In Ills defense, Mr. Davis Rnvo ns
n reason for voting nitiilnst tlio law
and contrary to tlio wish of his sup
porters, "that tho methods resorted
to by both sides woro questionable
Men were voted from transient Knl,B'
that had no Interest whatever In tno
town and paid no tnxes.' This was
dona by tho ndvocatcs of license, and
I am glad that ho makes tho admis
sion, for It shows wlmt his nowly
choson friends will resort to. Hut
whnt wrong did tno iiry sldo do?
Mston to him; "They tacked oris
mouth precinct to that of St. Johns
which was legal, ho says, ''hut every
fair-minded innn on earth knows It
was unfair". If It was unfair, Davis
should not havo accepted n nomina
tion at tho hands of thoso uho did it
If It was wrong, tho only way to
rectify a wrong Is by legal process.
Did Davlti condemn It when donor
No, ho beenmo one of Its standard
hearers, stood by It for six niontns,
and then slaughtered his own ctiiui !
Honors woro oven," ho says, 1
say they wero not. Tlio Dry polled
no lllogol votes. Tlioy didn't dual
with "transient Kniigiij" they had nn
"Interest In their own town" iiih.

tacked l'ortHiiiouth on to Ht. Juhns.
That was legal. Tho Court so pro

right so long ns It remains on tin

In rlndlnu fault with the way tm

Mr. Davis solemnly assures u
that tho "moral question was not

which was Involved beyond oor
