If the senseless accusations are

promiscuous selling, and giving

cities of this county, no one need
be surprised if the vote by this

bill that the voters will be asked to
consider, and which, if passed,
could not be enforced.
To: offset this, the Association
has filed with the Secretary of State
the following : “ For constitutional
amendment giving to cities and
towns exclusive power to license,
regulate, control, suppress or pro
hibit the sale of intoxicating liqu
ors within the municipality,” which
has been allotted numbers 328 and
329 on the ballot; and which, if
passed, will amend the constitution
giving to all incorporated cities and
towns in the state the right to vote
within the corporate limits, wheth
er liquor shall or shall not be sold
in the municipality. This bill the
organization is working hard to
pass, feeling assured that it will
solve the problem that the people
have been bothered with for so
many years. The passage of this
bill can only be opposed by those
persons who cannot trust a city or
town to conduct its legitimate af
fairs according to the will of a ma
jority of its people. It does not
necessarily follow that this law, if
passed, will permit the present dry
towns to be wet, but it will give
them an opportunity to vote on the
question among themselves, inde
pendently of county precincts out
side the city limits.

District:
Having received numerous aoliiitatlona

of Circuit Judge, and being aaaured of no
opposition, and having received an un
solicited and unanimous endorsement by
delegates from thia District to the recent
State Assembly of republican», which was
endorsed by the entire A»em bly, an honor
which I w ill appreciate and cherish as
I remain upon thia earth. I desire, at thia
tim e, to make my poaition known with
reference to the Judgeship. When I was
appointed, without aiking for the ap
pointment, I stated to my friends that, un
der no circumstances would I become a
candidate, for various reason», chief of
which was my desire to go back to my
profession, and devote my tim e and energy
to the practice of law. I w ill, at the end
of my term, have devoted almost two
years to the public service, during which
time I have honestly strivèn to perform
the duties of the poaition to the beat of my
ability, and shall retire w ith the pleasing
consciousness of having done my duty,
and whatever mistakes I may have made,
I have manifested no favoritism for any*
one, and have in all cases before me fol
lowed the law a» 1 viewed it, and in this
connection, I deem it not immodest for
me to say, that although there have been
but few cases appealed from my court yet
I have not been reversed, and without in
tending any invidious comparisons, con-
aidering the number of casés disposed of,
the courts throughtout the district have
been conducted at lesa expense to the tax
payers, while I have been on the bench, than
in the same length of time,during the incum-
bency of any of my distinguished prede
cessors, and I have no appologies to make
to any one for my conduct, for I have
»ought to protect the tax payer, promote
the ends of justice and uphold the majesty
of the law.
To my friends who have been kind and
true, through good repute and ill, I ex
press my sincere gratitude, and I shall re
tire from public office with a heart filled
with pleasing «md greatful memories of
those who have stood by me in my few
personal and political undertakings, and I
desire to thank, the people generally, who
have, regardless of party, so generously
offered me their support.

There are other attorneys in the district
who w ill serve the people well, and I trust
that no mistake w ill be made in selecting
my successor.
