Dorsey and Tempernce.
Hon. W. E. H. Searcy writes the
following to the Griffin News as
to the effect of Dorsey’s election
on temperance:
Editor News: As one of the trus
tees of the Anti-Saloon League of
this State, permit me to say that no
injury to the temperance reform is
expected by us from the election of
Hon. Hugh M. Dorsey to the office
of governor.
On the 31st of August, twelve
days before the election, the
League had its annual meeting in
Atlanta, and no declaration of any
nature was made to any candidate
for this office. None were com
mended and none condemned.
Every man stood on his own
merits before the people.
There is, therefore, no cause
to apprehend that thej’e will be
any breach between the Christain
peoDle Of Georgia and Mr. Dorsey
has declared his readiness to
enforce it as long as it is on the
statute books of the State.
That the law will remain there,
perhaps for all time to come, must
be the opinion of every thought
ful man, for the trend of the times,
at home and abroad, is to shut out
the great enemy of man from the
homes of every land.
Temperance is no longer a
moral quality to be praised only
by the reformer, and minister, and
j Sunday school and church, it is
adopted by the business world, by
every drinking man and govern
ments. Some of the strongest
! prohibitionists we have are men
who just a little back fought ''for
the liquor traffic, and tried to
: drink up all the liquor they could
Iset.
They found the truth in their
own experiece, and now are noble
defenders of the right. The man
who looks with love into the clear
sweet eyes of his little boys, and
thanks God for the innocenc* that
| peers through the iris, will never
bring hack to Georgia that that
may wreck his brain and damn his
soul. Mark our prediction, Mr.
Dorsey will be no enemy to tem
perence and in the next legislature
the man who talks local option,
or other nonsense, will find him
self buried among ruins it would
create. Mr. Dorsey has had a tri
umphant election by the people,
and it matters not on which side
we fought, we should accord him
the honors he has so gloriously
won, without fear that he will
make his rule inglorious by strik
ing at this cause of God and hu
manity.
