and 8:15 Sir. Camming Claims "Anthorship of "The Deadly Parallel" No Reflection Intended on "Good 3Ien and Womea." Wilmington. N. July 22, 1904. Mr.

George P. Cotchett: My dear Sir: Itis very easy for the apostle of "temperance in speech as well as in drink," one who advises to "refrain from to call men "cow. irds," but it is hardeT perhaps to dis- nrnrA fho. fafs tfiflt hnrfc. I If it is any satisfaction to you to know it, I will inform you, as I have every one else who has asked me about it, that a certain card called "The Deadly Parallel" was drawn up by myself.

I will add that it was submitted to the Dispensary Publication Committee (to which I do not belong), that these gentlemen, after adding the last line and changing the word "some" to the words "a few," authorized and printed, the card. 1 wrish to say as strongly as I can, both for myself and for thesr other gentlemen, that there was no reflection intended upon you or any of the other "good men and women" who will vote against the dispensary for conscientious' reasons, or even upon those who for business reasons wrill vote with you; but what we did intend to call your attention to is the indisputable fact that you "good men, and women" are on the same side with the criminals, on the same side with the anarchists, on the same side with the gamblers1, We did not and we do not charge that even the saloon keepers are criminals or anarchists. But wTe do mean to say that you will-hardly find a criminal who is not for open saloons, and you will certainly not find an anarchist or a lewd woman who Is not. Then, is it not enough to give one pause, to think that he it voting as all such cha-rac- ters wish? Can you deny that most of the drunkards and those who make drunkards are with you in their efforts to defeat the only movement that has ever been made to restrain and re strict the acknowledged drink evil in our city. As to the efficiency of the dispensary to that had to go a long ways from home and from the Watts law to get evidence on your side.

In closing I repeat, sir. that person ally I have the greatest respect for you and those on your side like you, but outside of them I must insist that you have a "rotten crowd" (as one of your own side expressed it). I remain, sir, Respectfully, W. M. CUMMING.
