The funeral obsequies of the Prohibi-
ton party have been again post
poned indefinitely. Those who have

We are forced to this conclusion after
reading the returns of local elections
during the last few weeks The vital
ity of a party can be judged better in
local elections than anywhere else.
That is where a party first shows signs
of decay, just as a man shows the first
signs of decrepitude in the extremities
