sscertsined that the opponents OF local
option do not consider the situation 10
Yanktop county serious for them. They
believe the city will give a majority
against closing the saloons and that the
west half of the county will go the So m

of the eastern precincts to endorse pro-
hibition ct the polls, especially among
Scandinavians. There is no organized
effort, this gentleman says, among the
anti prohibitionists to meet the organl'
zed effort on the other side. In his'own
words: t.If We hold meetings and send
out speakers the business men will say

have kept quiet"
