stood upon this'qnestion. I am
not advocating prohibition as a
general and state wide policy.
If it were a general election for
the whole state, I would not vote
for prohibition, because I do not
believe in the people of one
county interfering with the af-
fairs of the people of some other
county, who may differ from
them in opinion.
This Is a local option election,
such as the Constitution of the
State provides for. Goenl op-
tiuu means that the people of
each locality by their votes,
make their choice between sa-
loons and no saloons, and this
is the choice you must make on
December 14th.
The ballot is a high and sacred
privilege, because the vote of
j the humblest man in Madison
B«(tf county may decide that liquor
| may again be sold in this coun-
ty, and the dreadful consequen-
ces which have always flowed,
and likely will flow from its sale
hero, may fallow,upon the form
of one single ballot.
This being true, every voter
told tfrTt RTs. was the last vote to
be received, and that the vote
for and againsjt prohibition was
exactly even, and his would be
the deciding vote, whkt a power
that voter would have! What a
fearful responsibility that voter
would rest under! _____
If he should vote against pro-
hibition, and for saloons and
ljquor selling in Madison coun-
ty, and all ’their train of evils,
he would be responsible in the
sight of man and God. Is any
man in Madison county willing
to assume so dreadful a respon-
sibility?
How should every man vote?
In the; way that is best for the in-
tc.rj:a:..'.r..mjyjjbor, ais neigh-
borhood, his county; the way
that is right, according to the
highest standard or moral obli
gation and duty. The obligation
to so vote rests upon every man,
and ho who votes otherwise
casts an unworthy ballot.
I ask you tliert, howr will you
vote? Will you vote to' have
liquor sold again^ in Madison
county? Why should it be done?
Will it be best for the county to
do it? Will it serve to promote
peace, good order, good citizen-
ship or good morals? Will it
most likely promote vice or vir-
tue, drunkenness or sobriety?
Will it,bring happiness and con-
tentment to homes and hearts,
or anxiety and suffering?
Let every man ask himself
these questions and then vote as
he believes will be right and be
best for himself and his family
and his neighbor and his family:
I ask you these questions:
Cannot thousands of you recall
numerous bloody crimes in this

- * Why, put the temptations of
the saloon again before the
young men of Madison county?
Why restore conditions which
always breed strife, bloodshed
and moral injury to the citizen
ship of the county?
a-Wiii the county be. financially,
socially or morally better off for
saloons being open in i.t? If so,
why?
X do not appeal to you from a
financial standpoint. The ques-
tion is one that rises above dol-
lars and cents. It is enough to
say that you cannot afford to re-
open saloons for the sake of the
money they will pay for license.
Experience has shown that bom
■ rciaes ineviwibry follow the open
of suloflns, and,the cost of one
criminal trial will be more than
the license tax of a dozen sa
loons.
I make this appeal to you in
no spirit of unkindness towards
those who differ from me in
opinion.
I have not a harsh word to use
against any man who desires to
engage in the saloon business. I
feel too deeply upon this ques-
tion to indulge in harsh lan-
guage. I appeal to you in that
spirit of kindness, friendship
and'good will which I sincerely
feel for you. .
1 believe to re-open the sale of
liquors in Madison county will
be a dreadful mistake, a dire^il
misfortune, by reason of which
innocent women and...children
will be the chief sufferers.
Ask the women of Madison
county if they want to see sa-
loons opened again. It has been
truly said, '‘Man reasons, but
«0d Whispers to a Woman and
tells her what is right,” and
you will ask the mothers and
grandmothers and the wives
and daughters aud sisters of
this county whether they want
fealoons opened again, they will
with on© Voice say, T?o, never;
for the sake of «il we love, we
say no! ,
I sincerely trust that every
voter in Madison county ”Wlll
cast a vote that he can ask
