In answer to the reporter's questions, the former governor gave out the following interview: '^Personally, I was very anxious for the supreme court to pass on the question of the constitutionality of the last act of the general assembly, as to the | whiekey question. I am absolutely , satisfied that the acx is aucwuM.it.aitjpaal. The authorities cited by the Attorney general's office were mainly upon the question of the right to enjoin the election, and I know that the judges did not take under consideration the constitutionality of tlie act, from the discussions they had in their T/wm an/1 from the further fact that rae arguments presented by Dir.

Some of those same men today hold high offices, and it is said that theiy : represent the "law and order" element of the State, a^id are from the "aris1 tocracy." This shows that liquor had been side-tracked. "In my race for governor in 1910, I laid aside the whiskey proposition and fought on different lines, although I, of course, stood upon the law of the State, which is the law today, and was elected upon a local option platform. Mr. Heyward had been elected upon the same platform and was re-elected without opposition. Mr. Ansel was elected upon that platform, and was re-elected.
