The temperance people, doubtless. will
soon take the necessary preliminary
steps for holding elections in counties in
which there are no laws in force for pro-
hibiting the sale of spirituous liquors.
The main features of the general local OPP
ton law, enacted by the Legislature day
or two ago, are very generally known
throughout the State.
The passage of this bill will have a
tendency to keep the liquor question out
Of politics, and, all things considered, it
is best that 1t should be kept out.
Under the general local option law-we
assume, of course, that the Governor will
sign the bill If he has not already done
Soft one-tenth of the qualified voters Of
any county sign petition asking that an
election be held to determine whether or
not Intoxicating liquors shall be sold in
that county, the Ordinary viii call an
election, at which those who are qualified
to vote for members of the Legislature will
be permitted to vote. The tickets must
have on them ''For Sale" and against
SALE" and if the majority vote the
"a gainst Sale" ticket, the Ordinary will
give the required notice, and the act Will
go into effect. Those who have liquor IL
censes, however, will be permitted to con-
tinue business until their licenses expire.
/ the majority vote the "FOr Sale" ticket
there can be no other election In the
county under the law within two years.
Regularly licensed druggists will be at
liberty to sell alcohol for medicinal and
scientific purposes in counties in which
prohibition is in force, domestic wines
and elder may be manufactured and sold,
and there will be no restriction on the
sale OF wine for sacramental purposes.
There is no doubt that in some OF the
counties the elections, in interest, will
rival those held during the most exciting
political times.

Democracy Of the President: that in others
the candidates of the Republcans are TO be

IL seems funny that Republicans should
complain that changes In the Offices are
not being made fast enough, and yet that
seems to be the case in Ohio. They say
that their chances for carrying the State
are greatly lessened by the slowness with
which changes in fourth-class post Offices
are made. In explanation of this SEEM
ing political paradox Buckeye Republi-
cans say that tlere are 900 third and
fourth class post Offices in Ohio held by
men who have always been Republican
workers, but who now are afraid to take
an active part in the campaign lest it may
cost them their positions. Their salaries
are not large, but in nearly every instance
the fourth-class postmaster is the keeper
Of n shop or country store of some sort,
and the post oflice draws trade there.
Hence none Of the postmasters care 20
