How Did the Governor Vote in
ISOO-91?
E Ji. or People’s Party Paper:
Since the Populist S-ate conven
tion adopted the anti-barroom plank,
there has been quite a stir among
time of the Democratic boys. I see
f that Governor Atkinson claims that
that he has always been a prohibi
tionist. The Const'iution says that
the governor is not very,noisy about
it, but he is a very ardent- prohibi
tionist. Seeing all of this, and know
ing that the Populist or Alliance
legislature of 1890-91 had up several
measures connected with the whiskey
question, I concluded to examine
The House Journal for those two
years' and sea how the governor voted
upon these questions. It strikes mo
that a ma.i who is for prohibition
wil ! , when an opportunity presents
itself, generally vote in the interest
c-f temperance, but I find that the
governor did not do the. The House
Journal for 1890, on page 605, will
show that the bill known as the
“Three Mile Lrw,” was u,>on its pas
sage. and it strikes me that this was a
very good law even for ‘Coweta coun •
ty,’ but you will find that the governor
is recorded as not voting. He can
hardly claim that he was not present,
for the Journal shows that ho ans
wered to roll call that morning. Now
p- get House Journal for 1891, and turn
I to page 295, “A bill to prohibit the
I sale of whiskey in less quantities than
! a quart in this State,” was upon
J its passage. A motion was made to
indefinitely postpone—thia of course
meant the death of the bill, but the
governor is recorded as voting for
the motion. On page 527 of same
Journal you will find a bill to pre
vent the violation of the prohibition
laws tn counties that have adopted
the same by election or otherwise ia
this State, A motion was made to
indefinitely postpone the bill. The
■ governor is recorde'J as voting for

the motion. O i page 1181 you will
fi’td a bid to preterite a penalty for
any person or persons who shall sell
any intoxica'ing liquors in any county
in this State which has by vote of the
people, or by special set of the legis
lature prohibited the sale thereof in
such county. The governor is re
corded as not voting for this bill,
though he was present. Ido not
publish the above record because
Governor A'kinson is a Democrat, I
do go simply because he claims to
have always been for prohibition. It
strike* me that it would be rig dt hard
to find any prohibition in the above
votes. Now suppose we examine and
see how the last legislature stood
upon this question. The measure
kno vn as the “B ish Bill” was before
the house. Doctor Candler and other
prominent gentlemen made fine argu
ments before the members. They
said “that if that legislature failed to
pass the Bush bill that they would
see that a legislature was elected next
time that would pass the b..L.” Be
sides all the speaking there was a
small car load of petitions sent up by
the Methodist and Baptist demonina
tions, asking tbo me nbers to pass the
bill. House Journal for 1895, page
605 will show what effect this had
upon the members. Out of 132 Dam
ocrats in the house, “Only 47 voted
for the bill.” Out of -10 Pcpulists in
the house, “Only 3 voted against the
bill.” There wan only one negro in
the house and he voted for the bill
judging from the a dove vote, let me
ask our prohibition people if they
believe that they cm ever get whis
key reform through the Democratic
party ? J R Hogan.

Success in Unity.
The Constitution aays the Repub
licans goi a largely increased major
ity in Vermont—Democratic nomi
nee?, defeated by over 30,000. The
gold men al! voted as a unit. There
i-s in thi‘ a lesson to all prohibition
is's. ‘ Gold men stood together ra
g,irdle*B of party lines. Democratic
d-aertions were large. Thu Repub
licans are for gold, and in the state
they wanted gold men elected. Many
Democrats and Populists were .like
wise for gold, and they voted aa a
unit, Republicans, Democrats and
Populists,for the thing they wanted.”
Tee prohibitionists of Georgia must
pursue the same course. Above all
things now, the anti-barroom bill is
to be desired. Let us act ae a unit
in voting for only the men who will
help to pass it, Let the majorities
in the 105 dry counties close up,
and in solid column, with their vote?,
put whiskey cut of the. State, only as
its existence is provided for in the
anti-barroom bill.
Why Fight Local Option?
This is the Constitution’s question,
likewise the enquiry o’ some of the
slump-speakers who are dying about
in the State-scared.
Wc will answer the question as it
has been answered before.
First, when the people ia any
county have an established loeal
option system, the anti-barroom bill
does not disturb it. Why then will
the Constitution, and prominent
State officials insist that it is unwise
to give up a system which has given
to Georgia 105 dry counties,in trying
to get a State law. We repeat, local
option will not be disturbed in the
105 counties, but kml option can
nev -r dislodge whirkey in the cities,
where the whole force of the whiskey
rings and whiskey money and whis
key politicians are lodged. Not that
a majori y of the wh le people do

not want it, but because the wiisley
ring has money enough—though
they speak so persuasively of local
option—to buy votes enough to pre
vent the poor ruffering citiz’na from
carrying local option. We want a
State law passed which shall give to
the people—a majority of the white
people in all the cities—-rest from the
tyranny of whiskey mon and the
curse of the stuff they sell.
We do not, as prohibitionists, fight
locil option, but loeal option is not
the gun needed now to dislodge the
enemy in their strongholds. It takes
the anti-barroom bill to do that.
The Constitution says local o; lion
has driven whiskey into the cities
and left nearly all toe counties dry.
Now we are, as prohibitionists, still
pursuing, and will not rest until we
break down the strongholds and
drive it from the cities and the en
tire State.
Where are We At?
In front of Republican headquar
ters floats the banner of McKinley
and Hobart.
In front of Demoora’i? headquar
ters hangs the banner of Bryan and
Sewall.
Where, oh where is the emblem
representing the candidates of the
People’s party? Where are the 120-
090 voters who are pledged to sup
port Watson? Are they organized
and have they a state central com
mittee? If ec, why is no Bryan and
Watson banner Boating on Kansas
avenue? If the chairman has no
lima to attend to the matter, let him
get some one who has.
The Co Operator and Press is for
Bryan and Wa son and every true
Populist will stand by the ticket as
nominated at the St. Louis conven
tion.—Topeka Press.
