Jas. N. Sharp in the last legislature. By his mark he shall be known. This county and senatorial district © were © greatly disappointed in the vonduet of their representa- tives on the liquor question.’’ —Bates County Record. The Hon. Jas. N. Sharp and the Democrats of Bates county are perfectly willing that he be known not only by his mark but by his standing and should his attitude on the liquor question. be known both by his mark and standing. . Col. Sharp went to the State legislature as a dry representative, publicly an- nounced on the floor of the house that-he was a dry member from a dry county, and voted for ev- ery dry measure introduced with, the exception of those measures to which enemies of referendum in Missouri had tacked a clause the effect of which would have been to absolutely kill the refer- endum act in the State. Further- more in voting against these bills with the obnoxious riders attach- ed, Col. Sharp, in one of the finest speeches of the session denounced the legislative tricksters who were attempting to take from the voters their right to vote on publie questions and boldly in- formed the. instigators of the anti referendum clause that the peo- ple of Bates county were intelli- gent enough to vote on any pub- lie measure and that. he did not propose to sit idly by‘and allow men who make their living by writing confusing bills to mask an attempt to muzzle the voters on public questions by forcing their nefarious schemes, through under the very thin disguise of dry measures. : Col. Sharp represented the sentiments of the intelligent people of Bates county when he east his vote against these meas- ures, Will Mr. Atkeson tell his readers that their representative should have voted against -their right to go to the polls and vote on liquor kant When it oe ‘omes necessary for a Republican newspaper to give an automobile with the sheét in order to induce even members of the Republican party to read its gld fashion stand-pat, boss - in- spired tariff wailings it speaks mighty well for the intelligence of the people of the county.
