Democrat Party Not Tail to
Prohibition Kile Says
At the very opening of the morning
session of the senate after the body
had reolved itself into the committee
ot the whole Mr. Moore again in the
cl.hir the warfare oter the famed
Uoo7e bill began and to all Intents
and purposes closed at noon.
ArtK les one and two-as to the dis-
pensary wero agreed to iu amended
esterIay afternoon und Mr. Davis
moved to refer tin two nrtlcks to a
()e of the people.
The bill proper refers the first arti-
cle to the people and the senator from
Biistow argued at length for both.
After discussion upon the part of
several senators Mr. Taylor lending
lr the argument not to be afraid of
tho popular will Mr. Blllupa rose to
defend the bin as it naU boon reported
from tho conference committee.
Billupc In Defense
"I have iitood the abuse ridicule and
Insinuations of those who hnvo op-
uobed this bill at times hard to en-
dure In silence and have been the
target ot all the Irony sarcasm and
energy ot those opponents; some ot
thorn Jfamed tor their eloquence and
power of sjieech. and all because I
Aant to see prohibition and the law
euforced
"1 hae Ltibordlnatcd any other ser-
vice I might have rendered and been
lompelled to devote almost all of my
time to aid In formulating a measure
satisfactory to the v.nlous sections of
ilns state; keeping in mind ever the
fact that the law If 'passed should be
entor Ible and one that would not be-
(omc a dead letter."
The senator made some strc.tg as-
MTtioriB as to the record of Mr. Davis
and the hitter's alleged strange and
inconsistent position bringing Davis
x his feet on persoual privilege rights
(he controversy between the two men
lusting several minutes.
After making the assertion that he
wanted the dlspenbaty tned 6 months
before It was submitted and thought
the provision for the beet interest of
all Mr. Rlll.ips answered questions of
many nnd closed by denying further
ambition.
"I am willing so strong is my belief
In the benefits and moral force of pro-
hibltlon to send Uiis bill down the
macAdomlKed road made hard and
smooth with all the hopes ambitions
and chance of preferment which
might have fallen to me had I pur-
Mied a Ipss aggressive course; when
I go home if the bill ends my rarcei
I at least can say it was an honest
career confined only bj the llitiita-
Conh of my feeble ability not b lak
of purple oi energy."
O'hers Give Testlmony.
Senator Wynne said the po;de. had
the right to oppose and i erase con
ni uiatlon of any or all hctlons o' the
bill ami the opposition knew such was
the rase.
Mr. Bia'oli declared fo'ir months cf
piohlbitiou had not killed a mat) and
eight mourns more woniu i amiui mr
sHliie; hence tie favored sending to
thu people
Gouldlng Closed Morning Session.
Senator Gouldlng clsed the morning
bcMiuu d.-cla.'lrig he oppovrt Ike d.
pensary ualess it w.as sent to the peo
ple for couttrmatiou and also declar-
ing the democratic party was not the
tail to tiie prohibition kite nor would
it ever become such.
' If the democrats of the state" said
Mr. Uattldiug." weie the pwer to make
prohibition tha UU'er would he a
tranr aptt no one would dare make
It ipartlsao- U goes la 'Waves sod no

Wlll Vote at 5 O'clock.
When the gavel fell this afternoon
Mr Lime moved that a vote he taken
on the Mil not later than ft o'clock in
the committee of the whole. On sug-
gestions by Taylor and Blair the mo-
tion to Include "no senator to speak
more than one on a topic find that
speech limited in ten minutes''
When Davis and Franklin had prom
'el short hpenhes mid Russell want
i-d limitation cut 'o five minutes. Sol
danl brought town the hoe with hJ
retnai'tf: "No zander Uliio made the
Motion--he spoke alj dy yesterday
