Because the Democrats are no longer
proclaiming upon the stump and in the
newspapers their purpose to elect sher-
iff who will not enforce the prohibitory
law, or will at most enforce it in a s'con-
servative'' manner, it should not be in
ferred that they have abandoned their
campaign for that Office. The fact is
they have simply changed their tactics.
and are conducting still hunt, a method
which the shrewder ones of the party
see is better adapted to purpose which
cannot be fairly stated without carrying
with it the condemnation of the parties
to it, The voters of this county should
know, and not for a moment allow them
selves to forget. that the Democrats are
making more vigorous campaign for
the sheriff's Office, and with more hope
of success, than for any other office in
the county. Every man that sells rum,
and every man that wants to is enlisted
in this campaign, and is putting in
great deal of personal effort to defeat

good many voters, and will spare
neither money nor pains to get
them to the polls on election day.
The contest is really between the reput-
able and the disreputable elements of
society, though unfortunately this issue
will be so mixed up with the political
issues that many reputable people will not
distinctly see it, and will be found voting
to place the execution of the law practi-
cally in the control of persons who make
business of violating it. Whatever
may be their ideas in regard to the wis
dom and efficacy of the prohibitory law,
all good citizens must hold to the view
that rumselling is a business that inf1icts
great damage on the community, and
that the rumsellers are not proper per-
persons to dictate the method of enforc-
ing the laws. Yet the Democratic CAM
paign, if successful, will inevitably to a
large degree place in their hands the de-
termination of the manner and extent of
enforcing the prohibitory law.

national salutes were fired by the vessels

AS the last OF the warships cleared the
