The ProhibiIorr Inv.


Soon after the election the Burlingt n
Free Press sent out an enquiry to e ch
member-elect of the legislature asking the
questions, "Do you favor the repeal of the
prohibitory law Z" and IF so, what would
you put in its place Z" Not all the men,
bers-elect answered, but the Free Press
gives a summary of about 100 replies. OF
these 90 Republicans elected to the House
oppose the repeal, 8 Republicans favor re-
peal, and 3 Republicans aud Democrats
give indefinite answers, while 10 Democrats
favor repeal The Senators heard from
are 10 to against repeal. Representatives
Ware of Brookline, Powers of Athens,
Stebbins of Vernon, Sherwin of Jamaica
and Phelps Of Grafton say "No, a." decidedly.
In the same list is Mr.. smith, senator elect
Mr.. Marshall of Brattleboro says, 81 am in
favor of local option law" These are all
the Windham county men whose answers
are given.
The conclusions drawn by the Free Press
from its canvass are that more than go per
cent of the members-elect of the House and
at least 80 per cent of the members elect Of
the Senate are opposed to the repeal of the
law. Under such circumstances there is
small reason for the friends of prohibition
to fear that the movement of the Rutland
county high license men will amount to
anything, and this, we presume, comedies
with the conclusion reached long ago by
every unpreiudiced observer To overthrow
the prohibitory law and put license in its
place would be contrary to Vermont's tra
ditions, which is a strong point to start
with. But further than this, however any
individual legislator might feel, there would
be found an overwhelming public sentiment
against doing away with the present law,
whatever its imperfections or objections
until an absolute assurance was given that
in its place we we're to have some means
equally sure and effective for keeping the
liquor traffic under control. Brattleboro
for instance, does not want any more rum
selling or rum drinking within her border
than now goes on.

There were a few side attractions that
seemed TO please the young people. and
most of the older ones, as much as the more
legitimate parts of the show. Flagg was
one of these. and the wooden horses, rid
den by happy boys and girls, and travelling
in a circle to the music Of hand organ,
were kept in active use. The Wilmington
band furnished music that cultivated ears
could better appreciate.
