I knew what the Democratic platform contained when I was nominated, and if the ideas promulgated had not been such that I could conscientiously and fearlessly champion them I would never have consented *o make the race. ‘’The Democratic party is right on the temperance question, and the indications are that the temperance people of the state will approve of the party's stand, believing in the first place that it is the most effective and practical way of controlling the liquor traffic, and in the second place that the party is sincere in the stand that it has taken.

"Politicians who are trying to speculate on what my course will be after I am elected should base their speculation solely on my declaration that I will enforce the laws. I shall shall ask the legislature for authority to remove administrative officials who either neglect or refuse to do their duty. The fact that any law may be obnoxious in certain, communities, so obnoxious that local opinion may be against the enforcement of the law will not be accepted as an excuse for non-enforcement. I stand for the Democratic platform and supplement it only with a personal promise that I wfll give the state of Indiana an honest administration.” DRUGGISTS WILL CLOSE.
