BISMARCK, N. D., March 12.-Gov.
Briggs has settled disputes between
Prohibitionists and resubmissionists by
vetotng both bills affecting the question
of temperance. Whites bill to change
the prohibition law penalty by giving
the trial Judge the discretion of i'm
posing either a fine or Imprisonment
for the first offense against the law
and Colby's bill creating the office of
temperance commissioner with powers
of sheriff and states attorney, whose
duty is to bring complaints and make
prosecutions of offenders. The former
measure was passed by the anti-pro-
hibition element after the hottest fight
of the session, and it was believed
would result in a practical license sys-
tenn in the state, while the latter was
passed as sort Of counterirritant
to take the sting out of the other bill.
The governor holds that the White
bill violates all Republican party
pledges since statehood and that the
proper way to modify the prohibition
law Is by submitting it to a vote Of
the people in g. constitutional amend
ment. The other bill, the governor
holds, confers unconstitutional powers
on the proposed temperance commits
sioner, besides being the source of a
large expense, with no probability OF
accomplishing the object sought and
being reflection on the officers of the
law elected by the people, who have
never failed to prosecute cases prop
lists do not feel aggrieved at the veto
Of the White bill, but the radical Pro-
hibitionists will put up roar over the
veto of the other measure, although
it is admitted by all disinterested that
the veto Of the bill was, the wisest ac-
ton, under the circumstances.
