The following statement was given out
yesterday afternoon concerning the ex-
animation on Monday:
1.-The examination of applicants for
license commenced a few minutes after
ten o'clock, the hour at which the court
was opened on Monday and continued
until four o'clock in the afternoon-giv-
ing the applicants about six hours in
which to answer the sixty-six questions
propounded. Notice was given to the
class by the court that this time was
considered ample to enable them to COM
plete the answers to the questions, and
that they would be expected to conform
to this rule
upon previous examinations a few of
the applicants consumed more time than
the above in answering the questions,
but a large majority of them finished
before the time. At the examination on
last Monday it was thought best, how
ever, to allow six hours to the whole
class to complete their examinations, and
that the time would not be extended
beyond four o'clock in the afternoon

STAND BY THE PARTY.
DIR. Editor:

DIR. Editor:
There seems to be doubt in the
minds of some voters as to the issues
n the present governorship cam
|paign. Some seem to have the idea
hat it is license and local option
against the prohibitory liquor law. To
lll such let me say, you are mistaken.
That will be the issue when the next
legislature frames a license local op-
ion bill, as it is sure to do, and refers
to the people to be voted upon at
ONE specified date for adoption or
election. The republican state con-
ention declared for this referendum
nd will carry it out honestly and
hithfully, and this being so every
cense and prohibition republican
Rn and should vote the regular re-
ublican state, county and town
cket, without any fear but what he
i'll in the near future have a chance
work and vote for license or pro-
biton. Every republican voter
ould think more than twice before
bolts the party of such a grand
cord, and joins the license local
btion party, for when he does he is
longer republican. He belongs
another distinctl party, as distinct
the democratic or prohibition
rites, for upon the official ballot to
used there will be placed four
bkets, the republican, the demo-
attic, the prohibition and the license
cal option. Mr.. Clement has no
ght to claim any longer that he is a
publican for he heads a distinct
rty ticket. Republican voters of
shades of belief, stand by your
rty nominees, for by doing so you
crifice none of your opinions on the
uor question in this election, later
pen the legislature submits the
estion to the voters to say whether
by will substitute license and local
ton for the present law you can
prk and vote as,you have mind to
d still be republicans, but if you
