I woui3 be in favor of inflicting severe punish ment on pro'prietors cf saloons who vi olated the law, in the first instance, and in the second violation, I woiuld withdraw the license altogether. "In country places I would suggest local option as an excellent means for the repression of intemperance, if, in the jud-2:ment cf the majority of voters the sale of liquor should not be entire ly eliminated. “Laws like prohibtion that are cer tain to be violated, had best not be made, for incessant violation drav/s down «pon th«m disrespect.” Georgia State Democratic Executive Committee Selects D?te.
