WHAT WATBON WOULD DO.

James E. Watson in his keynote speech said: "If I am elected governor on this Republican platform, I shall earnestly recommend to the legislature the passage of a county unit local option law. If such law should be placed on the statute books, I shall, within the limitations prescribed by the constitution, use my utmost endeavors to see that such law is rigidly enforced. If I am elected governor, I shall veto any bill looking to the amendment of the . Moore law, and, If the legislature enact* into law the plan proposed in the Democratic platform, I shall likewise register my veto against such gctlon, and thus endeavor to prevent the final passage of such legislation.” Now let us see what Mr. Marshall would do. In an interview widely circulated by the brewers, Mr. Marshall Is quoted as saying: "The Democrat who believes that the llqnor business should be entirely abolished should not vote for me. He should vote the Prohibition ticket” HoW de temperance voters like that?
