J. FRANK HANLY WILL TALK FOR REPUBLICANS

Former Governor and Ardent Temperance Man Will Stump State in Fhvor of Winfield T. Durbin.

Realizing very well that there have always been a large number of people fooled by adroit deceptions of public men and the brazen falsifications of their supporters, it is often difficult to-determine who are sincere in their professions in behalf of great reforms. But some men stand but with great prominence as advocates of certain reforms and their deeds have proven their words and their position can not be mistaken. This is the case with a man like J. Frank Hanly, who called a special session of the legislature of the state and adopted a law providing for county option, the most advanced step ever taken in the cause of temperance in Indiana. And J. Frank Hanly has not deserted the cause of temperance reform. He has kept his ears to the ground and has watched political conditions in Indiana with a deep heart interest And he has come out flatfooted for the republican state platform and its candidates. He is for Winfield T. Durbin, because Durbin says he will do his utmost if elected to write county

option again on the statutes of the state. People who favor temperance progress can safely depend upon the judgment of J. Frank Hanly, whose decision to favor Durbin and the republican platform was made because he had confidence in its sincerity. Governor Hanly knows that it was Albert J. Beveridge who left county option out of the platfofm of 1910; he Xnows it was the influence of Albert J. Beveridge that caused republican defeat in 1908; he knows that Albert J. Beveridge is not and never has been a temperance man. We believe that thinking men who wish the cause of temperance to be advanced will accept the judgment of Governor Hanly and not be deceived as they were four years ago by the dexterous Tom Marshall.
