The following statofnent was is sued yesterday by lion. Joseph M. , Brown, candidate for governor; 'l'n 111*- people of Georgia: Tile desperate effort of the Atlanta Journal and its candidate to di* eoive the prohibitionists and tile people of Georgia by parading as I champions of prohibit ion is -apT j palpable hyproerisy, a disguise of demagogy so thin, that I have j been content to ht tho people judge between us, just as I am abundantly assured tin y have judg'd. I have not needed to (.ear the Knglisli language into ribbons to find adjectives to protect my record outlie subject, of prohibi tion. I nm eleventh-hour con vert for political reasons to its enise. The people in this mat ter - as in others,have their oppor-j t unity to decide between words I ! and deeds. pHoiniirrioN Not An Isstk. At the outset of this campaign prohibition was not an issue. There was and there is no revolt ! against prohibition in Georgia to justifv a campaign. The Atlanta Journal candidate seized prohibi | t mu, a cause known to be dear to! the people oft Icorgia, lor al and selfish reason* to stay lnsj falling fortunes,“wolf," “wolf,"! when there was no “wolf. At the same time The Journal's candidate must, of course', try to force prohibitionists under Ins staudarda bv shouting that he had driven the ant i-prohibit innist i out of his camp, and that tlieyj were going to support Joe I’.rown. The first suggestion that any I ant i-prohibil ionists would support ! me came from Tim Journal and ! it s candid,lie. 'flies have kept up i the cry, but not a shred of evi ! deuce has been offered In my li rst si a t cnieiit to the ; people I declared myself as being, by convict ion, “unalterably’’ op posed I(i I lie sa loon . II t lie A 111 I- Saloon League by its name means anything, il means that d is op- j posed to t lie saloon. Not even t lie I word “unalterably seems neces-j Isnrv to . define its position. Jf j words can express ideas, then my j deela rat ton of hostility to the sa-j loon as “unalterable’’ was 41 clear 1 proebimat 1011 of my decided con-J viet ions on this subjei-t ennvie-l I ' t ions that were, so far as I could know my heart and mind, as “1111- j i alterable” after my elect io'n as! j governor ns I hey have been while! . 1 j a private cut men only. STItONO I’KItHONAt.

I repe-al that declaration with emphasis. Tlie claim of «• r»*<lit to The Journals I'anehdate because I he signed »he bill is l.iugluibie,> to j the prohibitionists of the legisla tor' oi 1907 wlm had organized a j three-fourths majority for it. Wlm! ! cared whether lm signed n or not?; iit required only a two-thirds nut-j 1 ijority to pass it over his veto. It I Intel been governor of Geor gia, I not only would have signed 1 lie prohibition hill, Gut I would not liavo put my influence against its passage a* Governor Smith i did. His course in discourage | incut of the lull was in keeping | with his record. The declaration oi my address to the people, that 1 no personal or edliedal act of mine as governor would restore the sa loon in Georgia was perfectly sat isfactory to t lm most ardent of mv prohibition friends wlm know me. I will make it earnvinning to mv enemies, wlm do not know me. | Wot 1,0 HhKSKKVK Til K Ivi’KOIIITV.

I’roh 1 hit ionists should renieui ber that, it was elemotist rated con elllsivelv in the legislature of 1907, by Ihe ti 11 bust 111 leg against t lie prohibit ion bill, t hat t hirt.v li> e members in t lm house can sue ccHslully prevent the passage of i any bill. Therefore, if a bill amending or repealing I lie prohi ; bit ion law ever gers to the gover nor it will bring wit h it a three lourtliH majority, wlimh would receive the governor’s veto willi out value to defeat it. Let prohibit ionists look not to governors, but to tlm sovrign people arid their immediate rep resentatives who are sent to the legislature. In promising to veto bills of to the prohi bition law Governor Smith well | knows lie was promising nothing |of real value in tlm event an ef | fort should he made to repeal or lanmnel tlm law.
