Ho said to put the "sin" of prohibition intr
the constitntinn would be a ctime. lie then
attempted to show tbnt prohibition promoted
drunkenness and Unit there wus more drunk
enness in Maine than in Nebraska. When
Ex-Governor Lnrrnbee showed from the written -
ton testimony of seventy-five percent , of the
District Judges of lottu that prohibition had
reduced crimp from one-half to two-thirds ,
Mr. Webster rejected the evidence contempt
uously and rested his case on a letter from n
friend of the liquor trallic whose testimony
would not have an atom of weight with any
fair-minded jury. Before Webster goes blub
bering like a baby over the state again , whin
ing about imported speakers whom he is call
ed on to meet todcfend the murderous liquor
business , let it be understood that he has re
peated opportunities to meet Nebraska men.
It has not been tbe fault of Nebraska men
who stand ready to meet Mr. Webster and
Mr. llosewater , that these defenders of the
murder mills have been forced to meet non
residents. A common school boy can refute
their sophistries and show them to be the real
enemies of the state's welfare. Look at tbe
men who arc representing the liquor traffic in
this contest : C. S. Ellsworth , who calls him
self "colonel , " a self-confessed violator of his
oath. Letters from Wisconsin business men
and aflidavits from bis victims have been
published in different Nebraska papers show
ing him to be a dead-beat and a scoundrel.
The notorious D. R. NunnnlyMms also been in
this campaign as the special champion of
Webster's pet institution. Nunnaly was such
a vulgar , profane and debauched wretch tnat
his own importers hurried biui out of the
state. Then comes James G. Kreider. who
takes pleasure in calling himself the "Iowa
Cyclone. " This blatant fraud is another sam
ple of the imported champions of the cause of
the rum-sc-llers. Against these "foreigners"
Mr. Webster does not cry. He only protests
when distinguished citizens like Ex-Governor
Larrabee , Ex-Attorney General Bradford , and
and Chief Justice Horton are invited to Neb
raska to take part in the contest between the
tiome and the saloon.
At the close of Rosewator's debate at Grand
island , after General Bradford had gone to
bis hotel , the editor of the Bee produced an
affidavit from a Topeka plumber who charged
that he had made repairs in Bradford's house
ivhen Bradford was prosecuting liquor sellers
in Kansas , and that he found a half barrel of
bottles of beer in Bradford's cellar. When
Rosewater's scurvy trick was reported to Mr.
Bradford , that gentleman sought the Bee man
ind denounced the whole affair as a dastardly
jutrage and informed his personal slanderer
: hathehad been a total abstainer fiom in
: oxicating liquors for thirty years.
