00NCERNINO TH WATTS LAW.
One paragraph in the Greensboro
platform adopted by the state Demo
cracy reads as follows :
"We approve the general principles
of the Watts law regulating the sale
of liquors and limiting the same to
localities in which there may be ade
quate police protection. The prin
ciple that no saloon or still operate ex
cept under police protection is as
sound as the principle that whiskey
shall not be sold to minors, to drunk
ards, or on Sundays or near schools
and churches. The General Assembly
has the power and when controlled by
the Democratic party can be trusted
to make all amendments that experi
ence and conditions may demonstrate
to be wise and proper."
No need to apologiseze for that, or
for the law. The thing is sound in
principle and will stand if made an
issue. 1 he Watts law may not dc
perfect but it hits in the right direction
and is endorsed by the people of the
state at every opportunity. The party
endorses "the general principles" of the
law after it has been in operation and
stands pleged to uphold it, and should
best service of which I am capable,
and at the end of the term retire to
private life. I shall not be a candi
date for, nor shall I accept a renomi-
nation. Several reasons might be ad
vanced for this position, but the con
trolling one with me is that I am fully
persuaded that no incumbent of that
office should ever be placed in a situa-
will do the proper revising. There is
heard rumors of opposition to the law,
but it is hard to find open opposition
and the desire to make it art issue. If
it is wrong and anyone desires-Kwaake
a fight on the law it should be made
an open issue and the fight made on
the law without apology or beating
around the bush. Aside from any
