PETER FRIZZLE.
C. W. BUITTOX, PnOHIBITIOX COXDI
DATE FOE LEGISLATUKE, JiETLIES
" TO UXCLE PETEK. ,
Mr. Emiori : I think Peter Friz
zle makes some very glaring errors
in regard to the views of prohibition,
ists. I am sure they have not closed
their eyes to every thing else but the
liquor traffic. The declarations on
other points are as clear as can be j
and are, belter than either of the old
parties. I do not know of any pro
hibitionists that has claimed the law
was good enough. We think it per
fectly abserd to require any one to
prove a good moral character in or
der to engage in uuch a dirty busi
ness. If both parties aria in the liquor
business, and ho one denes that they
are,; does not a person who remains
in either, also remain in the liquor
business? He sites Maine as an ex
ample to show that the party is los
ing ground says that it cast less
than a thousand votes, when the fact
is that it cast near four thousand,
maki.ig a gain over the vote of '88
of 59 per cent. Does Peter remern-;
ber through what influence the legis
lature was induced to pass the law
in regard to temperance instruction ?
It was tbroughthe influence of the.
W. C. T. U. m the person of Mrs.
Mary Hunt. Please tell us uncle Pe
ter what you see in the naraa of the
party that is enough to drive any one
from it. . v " . ... .
Ure declare for the entire suppres
sion of the manufacture, sale, impor
tatioif, exportation and transporta
tion of alcoholic liquors as a bever
age by F ederal and State Legislation.
TLe Democrats declare we are op
posed to all sumptuary laws as an
interference with the individual
rights of the citizen. If any one will
read an account of the Chicago corf
vention and take in the sumptuary
plank and it does not make him sick,
then there is no U3e of asking hini to
vote for Bidwell or any one but
Cleveland. I hear some are very
m u c h against woman suffrage.
Home is woman's place so say I, so
say we all. Is it not equally true
that it is man's place? Doesfnot the
whiskey demon enter the home and
take therefrom the dearest; treasure
of woman's heart ? Shall slielive
no voice in the, matter? I want Pe
ter to read "The Voice" of New York.
Some do not seem to know wheth
er I have accepted the nomination
on the Prohibition ticket or not. I
wish to say that I have and will do
all that I can for the cause. Would
like to correspond with a party pro
hibitionist at each voting precinct.
If any one wishes any literature on
the subject please let me hear at once.
Most respectfully,
C V. Buittox.
