LAW OR LAWLESSNESS. WHICH"
The republican party has long {wast
ed of being the party of “God and mor
i ality;” it has had the support of a large
| majority of the ministers and religious
1 paper.-, and it has constantly charge*.!
! ihe democratic party with being an
j ally of the saloon and in league with
lawlessness. The time has come to put
I it to the test.
The republican party is in absolute
I control of the federal government. It
j ha.- the president, the senate and the
j h> use. It can pass ary aws that it
| wants to pass and repeal any law that
it wants to repeal. The federal gov
ernment is t* *day .ssu:r.g licenses for
the .-a.e of liquor in territory where
the local authorities have prohibited
the sale. Ir. :-e%eral states the sale of
uor is prohibited by statute, in a
number of -tales its sale is prohibited
in a ma or tv of the counties, and in an
,fth. -tat■ ?■ t is prohibited in many
ities ar. t precincts,
f:ut in -pi e of the attempt of local
r. ies :r these districts to pro
Y t the -ale of liquor as a beverage,
the ;*-derai government continues to

[lawbreakers Can any part\ afford to

A democrat, believing in local -elf
govemment and in the right of each
c m muni tv to attend to its own at: airs,
can consistently oppose the action of
the federal government in thus over
riding the laws < 1 -tates, court.c- ar. .
