know why I did not sign that petition.
Those who signed the petition did so
in the hope of good results. I have no
comments to make on their action. As
for me, I was born and reared in a
free country and am neither vassal
nor slave and will never bend my knee
in humble supplication to a self-con-
stituted prince, potentate or king, and
implore him to do his duty by the peo-
ple who honored him to the exalted
position of state senator. I am a peer
of Kellies or any other man beneath
the blue canopy of heaven. Had I been
in his place I would have voted as I
was instructed to vote. He has his
sworn duty to perform, and if he re-
fuses to do the will of the people
who made him state senator, it is Kel-
lie’s political funeral, not mine. He
was instructed by a majority of four
thousand of the unterrified democracy
of the district to vote for submis-
sion and if he makes good his state-
ment in the senate then he will dis-
obey his instructions and cast his vote
for anti-submission. I hold that we
have no representative in the senate
in this particular instance, but are
fearfully and most dangerously mis-
represented, for we requested a fish—
he says he will give us a stone. It
is a notorious and well known fact
that the Kirbyville Banner, with my
name at its mast, had fought to the
last ditch to elect Captain Kellie to
the senate. I have fought his battles
since then when some political enemy
assailed him. Not ten days ago, I
branded one man with basely and un-
charitably falsifying Captain Kellie’s
intentions, when he said Kellie would
throw down his people and disobey
the instructions of his constituents. I
have loved the man, many times has
he been a comfort and a help to me,
and it grieves me to hear a vast ma-
jority of my fellow townsmen de-
nounce him as a betrayer of his peo-
ple and false to the democratic plat-
form. If the newspaper reports be
true I am a Kellie man no more. I
can hardly believe them to be true. It
is strange to me that any statesman,
and I use the word statesman advised-
ly, could with a clear conscience re-
fuse to submit any question of great
or smali, to say nothing of vital im-
portance to the people for their rat-
ification or rejection, for is this not
a government of the people, for the
people and by the peop’e? Captain
Kellie by .the stand he has taken,
seems to be laboring under the im-
pression that he mas made a free lance,
and turned loose upon the state from
the Fourteenth senatoria’ district to
browse at his sweet will upon his peo-
ple's rights, provided his conscience
dictated his actions. Captain Kelje
is a servant of his peop’e and he is
being compensated by his people and
his people in this, his home county.
Jasper, by the petition referred to,
implore him to do his duty, but, 1,
Roland Simmons, editor of the Kirby-
ville Banno’ demand of Kellie. the
senator, as a properly qualified voter
(a right that all voters possess) and
as one of the men who made him a
senator and clothed him in the power
he is now using, to use that power in
complying with the instructions he
received at the ballot box-last fall,
when a majority of four thousand
voters ordered him to vote for sub-
mission. In this submission fight now
being waged in the legislature, two
forces are at work, one that the will
of a majority of the people may ob-
tain, the other, that the voice of the
people be hushed, that an unholy and
ungodly traffic may still further de-
bauch and degrade our people. Sub-
mit this question to the people and
grand old Texas will follow in the
footsteps of sunny Tennessee, despite
Kellie and his followers. Tennessee
lost in that state-wide prohibition
fight one of her grandest and noblest
sons, the late and lamented Edward
Carmack, ex-United States senator,
but thank God the holy principle that
he fought and was brutally assassinat-
ed for, was made effective a few days
ago, even before the grave worms had
consumed his body.
Submission is being fiercely fought
by the whiskey people of Texas, for
they fear the people, and well they
may. The sale of whiskey is not an
inalienable right under the constitu-

Senator Charged in Petitions With Vi-
olating His Instructions.
Kirbyville, Tex., Jan. 25.— Since Sen-
ator Kellie declared himself in the sen-
ate for anti-submission in violation of
his instructions from his constituents
to vote for submission many Kirby-
ville citizens have declared that Cap-
tain Kellie has taken an unwarranted
and undemocratic stand and he is
openly charged with betraying his peo-
ple in not obeying their wishes.. Sen-
ator Kellie has held a large and warm
place in the hearts of his people for
many years and has done much to ben-
efit in a material way this section of
the state, but this “spectacular stunt”
that he is pulling off in the senate, as
many here term it, has lost him many
friends. It seems that the senator
must take another tack or a full reef
in his sails or a political shipwreck
so far as his home county is con-
cerned will be the result.
The following petition was circulat-
ed among the people of Kirbyville and
mailed to Senator Kellie:
“Hon. E. I. Kellie, Austin, Texas.
“Dear Sir: Since seeing your de-
cision through the papers in regard to
the submission question, we, the un-
dersigned citizens command and we
implore you in the name of democracy
and the great good it might do in our
great state of Texas to reconsider the
question and vote for submission. Re-
spectfully,

A few people objected to signing the
petition, and among them was Roland
M. Simmons, editor of the Kirbyville
Banner, who has been one of the
staunchest and most ardent support-
ers of Senator Kellie in this district.
The following letter was sent him,
as he has been and is an enthusiastic
advocate and supporter of submission,
and just why he did not join with
them they could not understand:
“Kirbyville, Texas, Jan. 25, 1909.”
“Mr. Roland M. Simmons, Editor of
the Kirbyville Banner, Kirbyville,
Texas.
“Dear Sir: You positively refused
to sign the petition to Senator Kellie,
which was circulated here today, ask-
ing him to rescind his former state-
ments and actions and to vote for sub-
mission. You claim to be a democrat
and a prohibitionist. You have used
your paper to further the cause of sub-
mission and an explanation from you
is due your friends and the readers
of your paper. If you have taken a
stand for Kellie and his acts we want
to know it. Yours truly,
“C. H. ADAMS,
“R. L. McQUISTION.
The following is the response made
by Mr. Simmons to the above letter:
“Messrs. C. H. Adams and R. L. Mc-
Quiston, City.
“Gentlemen: Your letter has been
handed to me. Perhaps you think it
a warm package. I do not, because I
tion of the United States nor under
the constitution of Texas; it is mere-
ly a privilege. That privilege has been
badly abused in the state of Texas,
and the people, despite Kellie and all
obstacles, will banish it from this
state. It may not come now, as Kellie
stands in the way. His single vote
may deny the people of this state the
right to vote on this question, for the
papers say he holds the vote that will
win; but come it will, for right will
prevail at last. You intimate in your
note to me that I am not a prohibi-
tionist. I am one, was reared one,
have always been one, and will die
one. I have tended bar a great por-
tion of my life, but was always on the
outside of the counter, where the
damnable stuff came my way and my
money went the other way. I know
what hell there is in this damnable
whiskey traffic and the use of whis-
key, and am not an ordained minister
of the gospel at that, either; far, in-
deed, am I from it; but am ready and
willing, at all times and under all
conditions, to do*all I can and say
all I can against whiskey, the sale of
it and the use of it. It has used me
badly, and any man who tackles it
will wind up in hell on earth, if he
stays with it. I know what I am talk-
ing about. 'Some men say that they
can drink it night and day and it
never hurts them. The man it does
not hurt has no brain to affect. I
trust that your petition will have some
weight with Senator Kellie, but as for
me I will not implore any man to do
his duty. It is simply up to him. He
seems to be “hell bent on doing Kel-
big senator and refuse to do as I was
of his constituents. I did my duty
by Captain Kellie. I promised to sup-
port him and I did it. He told me
that he would be a senator to all the
people, and that, if he could, he would
subserve his people’s best interests,
and that no class or ring could or
would control his actions; that he
would not arrogate to himself a dic-
tatorship over his people, but that
their will would not only be a pleasure
to him but his imperative duty. I be-
lieved him, having every confidence
in him; I supported him, and not un-
til he took the stand in the senate in
his speeches in favor of anti-submis-
sion did I ever question or doubt him
in the least. Fellow citizens, I am not
the man to denounce Kellie as a trait-
or or a deserter to his people. His
record is before you. Has he kept
faith with his people? Has he “done
as Jefferson or Hogg would have
done?” You, fellow citizens, can pass
upon his faithful performance of his
duty to his district as well as I can
pass upon it. I envy not his position,
nor would I occupy it upon this occa-
lie’s way” in spite of the instructions
sion. I would rather be a small editor
in a big pine belt than to be a great
instructed. If the captain can show
me where he is right, and the opinion
I hold in common with his constitu-
ents as a rule is wrong, I will be a
much happier man. I trust that my
explanation as to my attitude in ref-
erence to not signing the Kellie peti-
ttion will prove satisfactory to you.
I appreciate my friends and all of my
readers who know me and those who
do not. I trust that your petition may
secure the purpose you sent it for.
Yours truly, Roland Simmons.
A telephone message came from
Charley Hughes of Jasper, the home
of Senator Kellie, bringing the news
that a telegram had been sent by sixty
Jasper people asking Senator Kellie
in the name of God and Texas to vote
for and support submission.
