tionsl evil. Eut tits, in one sense, cnu-

has by tho sovereign law of Stat @
rights been entrusted with Tho super
Vsiou OF the traffic hitherto; and 1his.
islieht. Ibelieve in theeS9inal sover-
eienSy o. the States. Tnen, because it
is q The hands Of The Safe govern
meut, It is live State Issue, and those
VINO would We real stA.ame1 must
take hold Oft rs such. For another
reason it is State issue: lie -ause 10
carry local option in ore lo1ailty ano
not have it in force in an adjoining

over another; here - the greatest
and STRONGEST objection tina
forces real con scientioCs man
when he comes to wl.te ON this issue
How would a man in Dallas feel votiu
for local OPT on In DALLAS county when
Tarrant county, was not under Ghe RUE
OF local onion? is mistake OF q
o. Ost adical cha" tar 10 say prohiot-
ton IS not democratic, but Inst local
opton is / ne only Democratic solution
Of the mat g. 1t Is 10 writer's opln
ion that The very reverse is tho yrue
position. Prohibition for the whole
STATE, every city and county in IL. IL
tue only Democratic toiunon OF thls
question.
Those who say that thousands
of DEN ocrats would vote for local op-
ton where they will not vote %
prohibition. have got tl's
thing Just as exact Y
wrong ~ wrong IN be. The very OF
DO lite is The tIce position. There are
Ihousapds who would vote 70; prohi-
bition in the whole STATE, who will
not vote for IL in their civ aud county,
on local option Issle wn,'s o .ber sd-
lacent cities did uot have it, because
1t would give one city an advsnta, ,
over the other. Here Is q ques;tO
Or statesmen. 1t is not q
local ma. .er, as the tariff is not a
local mat, d., and as Democracy Is
against 1he tart q and because IL blesses
few and Cur.e s IT, many. SO ts De-
mocrscy against the liquor traffic, be
cause 1t, too, blesses lew and coins
tue prosperity, peace ana happiness
OF the whole people. As one must go,
because the Democratic people say SO,
so must the other, tor the Democratic
people say it must.
