LIQUOR TAX IN CECIL.
High License Advocates wagfng n
Bitetr Fight.

Elkton, Md. Nov. "a question that is
now agitating the citizens of Cecil Coun-
ty, that of license or anti-license, will
also be voted upon on Tuesday, and while
the question has not been discussed as it
was four years ago, the advocates of both
sides are now fully awakened and are
putting up vigorous fight. Up to within
few weeks ago the license people were
apparently doing nothing for their cause
and being without organization many of
their own people predicted their defeat
but the past week has worked a wonderful
change in the movements of the advo-
Gates of high license, and now they are
working night and day throughout the
county and are confident that license will
carry the day. The anti-license people
have been at work from the outset of the
campaign, and they have held number
of meetings. The anti-license people won
four years ago by $40 majority in the
county During the past four years, in
place of the open saloon, the county has
been dotted with ''speakeasies," and while
the authorities have made numerous ar
rests, the juries have failed to convict.
Should license carry, the county will only
permit hotels to sell liquor, and then to
De limited according to the population of
the districts, said licenses to be granted
by commission. In the event of prohi-
bition again winning, the present law
has been amended in such a way as to
prevent drug stores from selling liquor ON
physicians prescriptions, and the only
way liquor can be had will be by the ply
sician going in person and obtaining it
from the stores.
The vote four years ago on the license
question was large one, license CARRYING
but two districts, the second and seventh,
winnie the other seven gave majorities for
anu-license, ranging from 43 to 1876.
Ihe law requires the question of grant
ing license to be submitted to the yoters
or Cecil County at intervals of four
years.

ber of Gains.
st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 5.-Both parties
here express confidence in the results of
the elections on Tuesday. Though the
Republicans claim they will elect William
Henry Eustis, their candidate for gov
ernor, the Democrats do not admit it for
moment. In fact it looks as If Eustis
will be defeated. If he is elected it will
be by the country vote, for he is already
beaten in the cities.
The Democrats are certain to elect the
member of Congress in the Seventh dis
trict and are likely to win also in the
Sixth. The Third is debatable ground
The Democrats will make large gains in
the legislature. The body will choose
successor to Senator Cushman X Davis,
now sitting as a Peace Commissioner in
Paris. The vote will be the highest in
many years. -
