There was one sure way in which the peo-
pie of Kansas and Iowa could get rid of the
original package stores, and that was not
to pay or recognize them. Mr.. Hayes
opposed the legislation, preferring
little liberty to a good deal of
sentimental state rights. He contended
the prohibitory law of Iowa was not en-
forced, and denied from observations
made on a recent visit to his state)
that there were any original package sa-

original package stores, and license laws
and local option laws would be violated

the proposed legislation After further
