TIIK WHISKEY QL'KSTIONI
During the campaign the majority
r.r ih Demo2iatic candidates
claimed they were fur temperance,
not for parly fke, but because they
thought It right. But when the
Ward bill came up in the Senate
last Friday several of the Senators
let tbe cat out of the big. They
wanted the Ward bill passed bo as
to further htengthen their control of
the manufacture and sale of whis
key In this State. For this reason
mauv of lhe lolitlcians have
m
ofl'ered to join forces with the tern
penned forces and thereby lead
the temperance forces Into the trap
of giving control of the whiskey
business in the State to the Demo
cratic party. The chairman of the
anti-saloon league in the State is
aiding them in their echemo to con
trol the whiskey business. We do
not ay he Is doing so knowingly,
but nevertheless his cooperation
with the Democratic force has been
the means of helping to give them
control of the manufacture and sale
of whiskey in the Stale. The
chairman of the anti-saloon claims
that he 13 for ultimate prohibition
he will never eet It through the
Democratic party while the presen
machine is In power. Their record
proves that they do not want pro
hlbition. The majority of the
whiskey meu In the State have
given money and wnlskey to the
Democrats for compafgn purposes
in every campaign. In this county
not many years ago, a man, supposed
to be a prohibitionist, on the Dem
ocratic ticket, promised, or at leas
his friends did, the whiskey men o

ness. They supported him and he

that tho way to secure prohibition?
The dispensaries in the State are
only recruiting stations for the
Democratic party. The managers of
these dispensaries are not trying to
reduce the sale of whiskey, but
some even advertise in tho papers to
increase their sale?, to as to justify
them In drawing larger salaries. If
they think whiskey is an evil why
didn't they support Butler's amend
ment in the House or Senator Gil
Hams effer to introduce a bill for
State prohibition in the Senate last
Friday. Not a Democrat rallied to
his support. No, this would put
several democrats out of employ
ment, who are now standing by the
machine, and it would also knock
the Democrats out of several thou
sand dollars in campaign funds.
This Is not our fight. We are wil
ling lor tho people to rule, that is
for them to have what the majority
want. But when every little two
by four politician poses as a leader
and says he represents the people, it
19 nara to know, what the people
want only we do know they do
not want hypocrits to represent
them. .
A FHOOF OF MR. BOOSKVELT'S
POFT7L.ARITV IN THE SOUTH,
From present indications the in
auguration of President Roosevelt
on March 4th will attract the
largest crowd of Southernors to the
National capital that has over at
tended the inauguration of a Presi
dent, which prove3 that the Presi
dent is very popular in the South,
despite a few partisan sheets to the
contrary. The following is from
the Wilmington Messenger:
"The indications are that a tre
mendous crowd of Southern peo
ple will attend the inauguration of
President Roosevelt. The railroads
leading to Washington from the
South are preparing to handle an
unprecedented number of passen
gers for this occasion. Local rail
road agents throughout this section
of the union, after looking into the
matter, report that the number
contemplating attending the inau
guration is unusually large. Does
this indicate growing popularity of
Mr. Roosevelt at the South?"

If the Democratic party favors

do they not submit the question to

Yes, they are affraid of the peo -

slrate this when in 1898 and 1900
they paraded portions of the State
with Winchesters and drunken red -

the voters, and as for the future
they knew if the people of the State
would destroy their Democratic dis
pensaries and saloons, which are
used as recruiting stationsj for the
Democratic party. They are afraid
to leave this question to a vote of
the people.

Mr. Webb, of Buncomb, has in
troduced a bill in the Senate for
issuing $500,000 in bonds. If it la
necessary to issue more bonds, after
increasing the taxes in the State last
year about $1,000,000, when will
the State ever be able to pay off its
indebtedness? The tax rate is al

For some reasons the News and
Observer does not think Nick Wil
liams whiskey as good as it did two
years ago. two years ago it- was
the "whiskey without a head

Observer a head-ache to even think
about it. We wonder why?
There are many people in the
State who wan't prohibition, many
want whlskoy manufactured and
sold under certain regulations, but
the Democratic machine wants to
control both. .

A bill was introduced, and passed
third reading, in the House Monday
to prohibit anyono giving away
whiskey within five miles of the
polls on election day. Represent a
tive Fowler moved that the bill just
apply to Buncombe county, as that
seemes to be the only county that
had trouble with whiskey in elec
tions. Representative Winbourne
offered an amendment to prohibit
any one giving any chewing or
smoking tobacco within five miies
of the polls on election day. The
itepuDiican memoers,. being anx
ious to help, the Democrats mend
their evil ways and have honest
elections, voted for Winbourn's
amendment, but the majority of the
Democrats would not reform and
voted the amendment down.
At 12 oMock Friday the Ward
bill came up in the Senate f or con
sideration, being an amendment to
the Watte law. Tho bill provided
that whiskey should not bo manu
factured in towns, of less than 1000
population. The Fleming substitute
to reduce the minimum population
was voted down Nearly all of the
Senators showed an interest in the
subject. Senators Ward. Scales, Mo-
Lean, Wright and Mason were the
ardent supporters of the Ward bill,
while Senator Empie, Stubbs, Wil
liams and Gilliam opposed the meas
ure as undemocratic. Senator Em
pie said that sentiments had heen
uttered which sounded the death
knell of the Democratic party in
North Carolina. Stubbs said the
measure was undemocratic and the
peopie naa not demanded such
bill, that the Watts law was already
too stringent and that there
a a
I
tacit understanding that when tbe
Watts law was psadthat the whis
key basinet would not be further
disturbed at any early date. Sena
tor Williams, of Davidson, in oppos
ing the measure said that to pits the
Ward bill would be to confiscate the
distillers property where they had
erected costly plants under the in-
vjsion 0f tBe Watts Act. lie furtter
ijj thtt the 'Watts law was not
beingeafi rctd and that it was the
;dulv 7f tbe wrty to enforce their
party to
present law before passing any
further amendments. Senator
Wright and other Senators from tho
Eighth Congressional District had
said that Blackburn wa3 elected to
Congress because he whipped them
with some provisions of the Watts
law. To which Senator Stubbs re
plied: "Has It come to this that i
Democratic legislature Is asked to
pass retaliatory legislation? Yet
litre we have heard it argued that
this bill should be passed because we
lost the Eighth Congressional dis
trict. When the constitutional
amendment was passed white men
were made free to vote as they
pleased yet property is to be de
stoved because the owners are not
Democrats."
Senator Flenaiog said the Ward
bill was a fraud and Senator Wright
called the Watts law a fraud.
Senator Williams, of Davidson,
said be could not support the Ward
bill, nor the Fleming substitute.
Ho said he was one who believed
that the State could not legislate
morals into people. That the pres
ent Watts law had not been enforced
and that the party baa better en
force the present law before making
it more stringent, or all would be
lot. Senator Gilliam said that two
years ago this State incorporated
these towns and enacted a law that
lei men to invest large sums of
money in other towns and now to
wipe them out by hasty legisia
tion seemed to him confiscation run
mad. He said he was willing to bow
to the will of the people and would be
willing to submit the question o
prohibition to the people. But not a
one cf these ardent Democratic
prohibitionists" rallied to his sup
port. As stated above, the Ward
bill passed tho Senate to go into
effect Jan. 1, 1906. The bill wil
now go to the House.
