JUDGE FREEMAN
m TEMPERANCE
Report Delivered at Georgia
b. Baptist Gofiveiition.
That the manufacture and sale of
Intoxicating liquors have ever been
the most insidious, dangerous and de
structive enemies of the individual,
the home and the State; it is so evi
dently true that it is useless to en
deavor to demonstrate it by facts, sta
tistics and arguments.
Some one hundred years ago a
movement was inaugurated in Georgia
to Suppress the business. The task,
at that, time seemed hopeless because
the great majority of the op
posed it. During the struggle the
friends of temperance went down in
many defeats. Though frequently
discouraged, they were never in de
spair, for they were moved by a holy
zeal and a dauntless courage to de
stroy the same by law, and urging
men to discontinue, or never co,m
menee the use of them as beverages.
During the last thirty years the
Woman’s Christian Temperance Un
ion came into being, and their mem
orable and praiseworthy works in this
behalf, and especially their success
ful efforts to have the children taught
In the public schools, the ruinous ef
fects of aloehol upon the human sys
tem, ehailenge the lasting gratitude
and aid and encouragement of all
those who love the sems of men.
Many years later the Anti-Saloon
League came into being, and has been,
and still is doing, much to secure pro
hibitory legislation and to encourago
sobriety, and thus to destroy the sa
loon, and the league is worthy of our
praise and co-operation.
In the course of years local option
laws were enacted, and put into op
eration in towns, cities and counties.
Tho beneficial results of these laws
In these places were so perceptible
when compared with the ruinous ef
fects of the open saloon i-n other pla
ces that for years the people demand
ed a state-wide prohibitory law, and
secured the same in 1907, to become
operative in 1908.
History and observation tench that
by reason of this agitation and the
consequent existence of these laws
the usn of intoxicants as beverages
has been greatly diminished. This is
patent, save to those who are wilfully
blind.
We should not be content now that
we have the law, for it only removes
the open and legalized tempta'Uns.
but we should demand and see to its
enforcement, and try, by precept and
example, to destroy the thirst and the
consequent demands for its products.
The business would perish in the
midst of a people of total abstain
ers.
Wherever the business has been pro
hibited strenuous and persistent ef
forts have been, and are being made,
by certain daily papers which are in
directly, and by those who are direct
ly interested In it, to challenge its
wisdom, and to discount its benefits,
and to render it ineffectual, to the
intent that the people might reach
the conclusion that, “prohibition docs
not prohibit,” and consent to Its re
peal.
It is lamentable and reprehensible
that the ones in cqntrol of these pa
pers should devote their power and
Influence therefore to thus encourage
lawlessness and a re-establishment of a
business without a single commenda
ble quality, and that has ever been
the friend of every vice and the foe
of every virtue. The great majority
of the good people cf the State who
oppose, with all thtfir strength, this
business, have, by their patronage,
given them this power and influence,
and yet these controllers seem entire
ly Indifferent to tin? wishes of their
patrons, and would deprive them of
this cherished law, and force upon
them and their children the sa
loon, the gallon shop, and dispensary,
with all their power to corrupt and
destroy.
Here is the great danger threaten
ing the enforcement, and consequent
perpetuity of this law, and tt therefenre
behooves oi\e and all to earnestly de
mand Its enforcement, and thus count
eract those opposing influences which
are born of self interest. We must
show the people that, while this law
has been, and is now being, violated,
other laws have met the same fate,
and that the violation of no other law
has ever been urged as a sole reason
for its repeal. We would show them
that it is freught with untold bless
ings, and they should cleave to it, and
thus give it a further chance to de
monstrate its wisdom. We must con
stantly remind them that though pro
hibitory laws have been violated.
mope or iesa, yet uuaer laca-i option,
as it was, and under this law, as It
is, we have been and *Te now rearing
a generation of abstainers.
S.urely, if Its friends remain true,
and persistently demand its enforce
meat, and the prosecution cf !t ~
lat'ors, it wHI •s'h n become so imbed
ded in the love and the appro:.
judgment of the people, that its i
lations will become less and les ‘c*
the years go by. and it* wj|
become an Impossibility.
And to tills ea< the near-beftr sa
loons, which in some instances are
open, and in others secret, place:
for the violation of the law, should
be closed. It has become an open se
cret that where these saloons are in
operation wo have prohibition in name
only.
That they are habitual violators of
this law, and are growing bolder in
It, especially in the larger cities, is
made to appear from the fact that in
1908 the police records of these cities
show a decrease of cases of
“Drunk” when compared with the re
cords of 1907, and a gradual and con
tinuous increase of 1909 over 1908.
Many have observed this fact and
have sought for an explanation. The
existence of the near-beer saloon gives
the answer.
They must be closed, or this law
will be nullified, if not repealed.
We will stand convicted of the
greatest folly and of trifling with a
great moral question, if, after a strug
gle of many years, this law has been
secured, we permit the near-beer sa
loons and other places of secret sals
to nullify it, and thus deprive us and
our children of the legitimate and ben
eficial fruits of that struggle and vic
tory.
So, if we would enforce this law and
thus preserve to us and crur children
its manifold blessings, we must as
earnestly and persistently demand
the closing of these near-beer sa
loons by law, as we demanded the
passage of it In 1907.
Because they are sources of rev
enue, the temptation i 3 strong to try,
by every pretext, to hoodwink tho
people into the belief that it is a
monetary necessity, and not morally
wrong, to legalize them. If they are
legalized a few years more, and they
produce an increasing revenue, it
will be ns difficult to destroy them
as it was to abolish tho bar rooms,
Therefore we should commence the
work of extermination now, and per
sistently press it, until the work is
done.
And to this end we should keep it
before the minds and upon the con
sciences of the people, that it is a
great moral wrong to legalize theTU,
it matters not how much they pay for
the privilege, and how urgent the ne
cessity for the money. Since this
business ccrrrupts, debauches and de
•stroya, no valid reason under the mor
al government of God, can be given
to Justify its being legalized. If we
legalize it under any pretext, we be
come parties to all its woes ana
crimes. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That we avow our faith
in, and renew our allegiance to saH
law and its enforcement, and to the
duty of urging the people, by pre
cept and example, to become and re
main total abstainers.
Resolved, further, That we request
the legislature at its session in 1-910
to pass a law prohibiting the selling
of near-beer or any like drink.
Resolved, further, That wisdom sug
gests that the candidates seeking
nominations in the primary of 1910,
for the Horuse and Senate, and for
Governor, be pledged not to repeal
said law, or not to so amend it as
to weaken it as a prohibitory meas
ure, and also to enact a law prohibit
ing the sale of near-beer and any oth
er kindred drink, if this is nsrt done
before that time.
Resolved, further, That we ur?c our
Representatives and Senators in Con
gress to use their influence to secure
a law forbidd-fng the revenue officers
of the Government to issue license
to any one to manufacture or sell in
toxicating liquors in any State or
County where same is forbidden fiv
the State law, and also forbidding
the shipments of the same into such
territories.

of 1910, to be held on a date to ba
•elected by the state democratic ex
ecutive committee.
r - In making this announcement I
feel that it is appropriate for me to
say that my service for seven years
In both branches of the Georgia legis
lature, during which time many of
the pjgsent laws relating to banks and
banking were enactod, and my service
at the same time on the house com
mittee on banks and banking by
which these laws were considered, has
given me a clear insight into the
Georgia laws concerning banking and
Ananca
In addition to the foregoing expe
rience, I have been, for fifteen years,
president of the Elberton Loan and
Savings bank, in which capacity I
may say, I have gained wide practical
experience concerning the operation
of these laws; and, as a result of
which I am In a position to recom
mend certain improvements in the
present laws, which will better safe
guard the interests of the depositors
In Georgia’s state banks.
-Tf eleoted to this -important posi

lam a candidate for State Treasurer
subject to the action of the Democratic
party at the appx ach’ng primary for
the selection of State House Officers.
Long ami faithful service in that office
as Treasurer and as Assistant Treasurer

out censure or complaint from any
source is the platform upon which my
candidacy is based. On this record I
beg the support of the people.
Respectfully,

FOR CONGRESS.
lam a candidate for renomination to
the office of Representative in Congress
from the Sixth District in the primary
election, which, under the law,, will be
held next August.
I believe that my record as a Represen
tative, of which I invite the closest scru
tiny, justifies me in saying that I have
discharged eyery duty and obligation to
the people who have honored, me with
that high and responsible office. During
the entire period of my service in the
House, I have been faced by a Republi
can majority, strongly adverse in senti
ment and policy to the best interests of
the people of my section, but my record
here will demonstrate that in every word
I have spoken and in every vote I have
cast, I have had an eye single to the hon
or and welfare of the people I represent.
Whether my duty as a Representative
has called me to resist the insiduous at
tempts that are being constantly made, to
undermine the sovereign dignity of the
State, to oppose the encroachments of
organized monopoly upon the rights and
substance of the people, or to defend the
institutions and glorious traditions of
our own section, I have responded to
that call with all the force and vigor of
my being. As the Representative of a
free people, I have denoxrnced tyranny in
whatever form it has appeared, and ac
tively participated in the movement to
wrest theeontrol of the House from t.he
arrogant despotism that has been erected
in the people’s forum by the Speaker and
his Committee on Rules. My record in
this and all other matters will most con
clusively show that I have never on any
occasion faltered or hesitated in the
course of duty dictated by perfect loyalty
to my constituents and party.
Believing that my long experience will
enable me to serve more efficiently the
people of the District in the next House,
which, from all indications, will be Dem
ocratic, and with grateful appreciation
of their support and confidence in the
post. I ask a renomination at the hands
of my constituency.

To the people of the Sixth Congressional

I am a candidate for Congress subject

strenuously oppose all extravagant
expenditure of the people’s money and
all unnecessary and burdenson e tax
ation, and every effort made to en
croach upon “states rights” and would
stand unflinchingly and unfalter
ingly against all laws in conflict
with the principle “Equal rights for all
and special privileges to none.”
I believe that this si oul l be in reality

As your representative I would devote
to the duties of the office my time, my en
ergy and whatever of talent I have and
requests from any citizeu of the District
however humble he might be would re
ceive prompt and careful attention.
If elected I will pnter upon the discharge
of my duties without pledge or promise to
any man or set of men but absolutely free
and independent to do my full duty as
God gives me the light to see it.
