A LOCAL OPTION PLANK.

The wisdom of attempting 20 put local
option plank in the platform of the Demo-
cratic party of this state is questionable.
II is probable that the effort would be
stoutly resisted. and while It might sue
coed. the chances are that 1t would be
productive of a good deal of dissatisfac-
ton in the party.
II is well understood now that local op-
ton is the policy Of the party. When the
local option law was enacted that under
standing was reached. II is doubtful IL
the sentiment In favor OF prohibition Is
as strong and as aggressive now as II
was couple OF years ago. Ia would
not require much agitation, however. TO
make it very aggressive.
The prohihitionists at present seem dis
posed TO let well enough alone. They
are not satisfied with local option, but
they are wise enough to see thas more
has been accomplished by means OF It for
the cause Of temperance than by either
the dispensary system or prohibition. The
dispensary system has proven 20 be a
failure and 1t is well known that in
Maine. where there has been a prohibi-
tory law for many years. liquor Is sold
openly In the towns, While. therefore.
the prohbltionists are apparently willing
that the liquor question shall he dealt
with by means Of local option. II Is prob
able that they would at once become ex-
trameIy active in che interest OF a gem
eral prohibition law II an attempt were

more than a hundred counties have adopt
