Tho nuti-l)!UTHdm bill is dead
and populist senators killed it..
Many thqussauds of Georgians
will rejoice at the news—many
other thousands will not rejoice,
Many uu agent of the whisky
trust will jubilate—many a toper,
toddy-mixer, whisky seller, liuui,
deadbeat and demiuoher. Along
the corridor*} pi gilded “clubs”
where e'ogiuit sin coddles itsolf;
in I ho glare and gaudy splendor
of many a “saloon" much elation
will take its way. A cheerful
growl will bo heard
the lairs of blind tigerism.
in other places the pleasure will
not be so pronounced— not many
wives of weak husbands will
make merry over the depth of the
anti-barroom bill- not. maqy
ers of erring sous, Few will be
the smiles upon tho pale, sad
faces of those thousands of noble
women who discover too late that
they must live with
sworn to love, honor and obey.
Not overly noisy will bo the
joicing of tlje fathers and
ers pf Georgia who staggor
the curse of sons givod to drink
and daughters given to
ards.
Had it pleased Leaven to
some other party responsible
triumph of wliisky in Georgia we
could have borne it. better.
But tho plain truth must, bp
told—shall be told!—the
senators are responsible. By
vote of 18 to 23 the measure
defeated. Three populist sena¬
tors voted against, it. Had they
voted the other way the count
would have stood 21 to 20—and
whisky would not, have won,
Why are the throe populist sen¬
ators nio.e responsible than the
t.went.y democrat^ who voted
against the bill?
Because the people’s party of
Georgia bad deli berate tv incor¬
porated in its state platform a dis¬
tinctive demand for prohibition.
This was first done, uuanimous-
y when the executive committee
met in 1895 and recommended a
platform to the convention, The
convention endorsed the recom¬
mended platform, In Hj9(l S.a-
born Wright was nominated by
our party and lie accepted as
much because of that uuti-bar-
yoom plank as anything else.
Senator Yancey Carter was
chairman of the plat form commit¬
tee and enthusiastically support¬
ed Wright for the nomination.
Senator Strother, of tho district
in which wo llyo, pledged himself
during his canvass, positively and
unconditionally, to support, the
anti-barrqp.rg bill. Without, that
pledge lie could not have been
elected, for every populist, county
in lus district, is a ‘‘dry" county.
What, Senator Golden’s attitude
has been hereeofore wo do not,
know; wo only know him as the
ropresautgtiyo of H party which
repeatedly and solemnly pledged
itse.f to support the anti-barroom
bill.
During the campaign of 139(5
the democrats taunted us with the
charge of insincerity. They said
we were not, at, heart, in favor of
the anti-barroom bill, but. only
"sed it as a vote-catcher.
Jt, seems that the accusation was
true. We fli^i not ho believe fit
the time and wo doniod it. We
hereby apologize, Wo should
have confessed that, wo were hyp¬
ocrites and were seeking to get
goods upon false pretenses.
Hereafter let m* not abuse dem¬
ocrats or republicans for violating
campaign contracts. Let us keep
our mouths shut, about broken
pledges and unredeemed promisy
es.
We Georgia populist have
moved into a glass house and we
must never again fling any
- ?
stones.
