TIE Democratic majority in the Legisla'
ture mistakes public sentiment The ques
tion actually presented by the prohibit
ton amendment resolution was not so
much one OF prohibition or anti'prohi'
bition rs Of fair play. Many OF those who
favored the submission OF the amendment
to the people were not in favor OF prohibi'
ton. Others who would have preferred q
more stringent measure OF prohibition
were not warmly in favor Of the proposed
amendment, though they were willing that
it should be submitted to the people in
response 10 the demand OF a strong public
sentiment. The Democratic Legislature was
not willing to 60 SO far. 1t is true that the
measure passed the House and was killed
in the Senate, but this was the plan. 1t was
arranged that :hs House should favor and
the Senate defeat, that the party record
on prohibition might be split. But
it happens, unfortunately for this kind
Of jugglery, that with a single exception i1
each house the Republicans were for sub
mitting tue amendment. There was nc
Republican vote recorded against the
mcasure in the House, but it is fair to say
that il Mr.. Dovener had been present he
would have voted no. 1t is not pretended
that every Republican who favored a pop
uIar vote is prohibitionist There art
Republican members who doubt the wis
don of plohibitory legislation but still
were willing to accord to the people thu
S,.ight aud the opportunity TO be heard
Flls ia aot more than is due TO the people
and they will resent the unwillingness o
the Democratic party to let them speaI
their will. A party which is afraid OF thu
people has reason to stand in dread oithem
Sooner or later in all free government th,
popular will prevails.
