"Whisky and crooked politics unques

that everywhere the liquor forces should

behind the other, of the old parties."
He tool; a strong stand against the pro

tht entire state "wet."
"In the State this year tho contest has
been precipitated by the liquor men,"
he said, "who have forced before the
voters nn amendment, which, If success

tho abdication by tho State of all power

Colonel Roosevelt said that the Demo
