George Not Inclined , To Talk Prohibition With Judge Sutton The rlsn projected- by .Tudae Button for a ihirty-town talkfrst circuit on the pro hibition question Is not getting very far. To the letter he sent to Welter A. George, as competitor for the republican governorship nomination, Mr. George has replied, among other things, saying: "Flnce this question la essentially non partisan and both side In the controversy are agreed that It will eventually be de termined by the people arW not by the action of any political rsrty. t fall to see the pertinency of your action. "If this question be political at nil, it la such from (in economic standpoint only, and to discuss it would have no effect upon the ultimate rult. for I am con vinced that the public inind Is made up on this point, and nothing either of ua ' might say would change their decision. Furthermore, I have confidence that the peoi-le of Nebraska, unaided by any suggestion from either you or ' I, have sufficient intelligence to decide what they want and also that if either of us is elected by the suffrage of the people to the highest office within our gift, we shall still be the servant of that same people and compelled to act in harmony" with their opinion, een in settling this much-mooted question of prohibition. Finally, my dear judge, It is not what you or I may say, now or hereafter, hat will count In the general roundup, but what we do. And If you will allow me to refer to one of the moat primeval po litical uprisings in history, I would re mind you that while Aaron was tha per suasive orator, it was old Moses, the rrnn of stammering tongue and slow speech, who led his people out of bondage."
