SENATOR VES iterates His Former Declara- tion in Regard to Prohibition. the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, number of your paper I To Jn a late fed the followings uOne great point gained, the pro spitionist think, is the modification sub- gt, and the pre of js active opposition, which, in large | to gSenator Vest's views on tl tical withdrawal peasure, aided defeat the sub mission of the question in the last Jature. The senator has written pletter to Mr. McMichael declaring that 1t 18 the duty of members ot the fegislature to vote in accordance with the sentiment of their constituents, go matter what their own private sews may be: and he has also stated that in the event of passage of an} amendment. he would advocate its enforcement, and that it was his opinion that every citizen should do alin his power to secure its rigid enforcement.’’ AsI consider myselt entirely com- petent to the task of expressing my opinion on any public question, and ofalso selecting the time and mode, Ideny the right of any indiyidual or newspaper to represent me without my consent. Ihave not changed, withdrawn or modified, in my degree or respect, any opinion I have ever held on the subject of prohibition, and Ireiterate every utterance I have made upon that subject. I consider prohibition bythe state, as advocated in Mis- souri, undemocratic, wrong in prin- ciple, impracticable, and, it adopted, the prolific source ot perjury, disre- gcrd of law and social meanness. Whilst these have been, and are, my opinions, which I am ready at alitimes to enforce by voice and yote, I have always said, and say now, that every member of the leg- islature should represent the will ot constitutents as to the question of of submission, or any other public question, and that he alone can de- termine what the will of the electors inhis county or district may be. The Democratic partv does not seek tothwart or defeat the will of the people, and, whatever may be my opinions or those ot any other citi- zen, the will of the majority must -govern. For myselt, I shall vote against any candidate tor the gener- al assembly favoring submission, for [believe that no good car come from prohibition, or any agitation of the question, but I represent the majority of the voters in his cuunty or district upon this and every other public question. That majority must determine through its repre- sentatives, whether prohibition shail be submitted to a popular vote. Thave also said, and say now, that every law enacted by the Legis! ture, and adjudged constitutional by the court, should be respected and and obeyed until repealed, and any statement that I have ever advocated any other sentiment is false, if not malicious. a- These views have been so often expressed by me that I did not sup- Pose any reiteration could be of in- terest to either triend or foe. Let me say once for all, that local option, as it has existed in Missouri for years, and high license, furnish, in my judgement. the only sensible and practicable solution of the liquor | Problem. Appeals to sentiment or prejudice will not settle the question ; nor wil] tay man worthy the right of suffrage onthe respect of honest men, be de- trred from expressing his opinion by the senseless clamor that he ad- Yocates intemperance.
