The Reputation of the resubmission
plank in the democratic platform by
several democratic legislative conven-
tions in the state is significant. 1t
indicates that even the democrats do
not care to go back to the open saloon
system as it existed in this state in
territorial days. Resubmission that
throws down the bars to rum, riot and
ruin will never carry in this state.
The substitution of a most rigid dis
pensary system of some kind may some
day find favor but that day has not
come vet. The present prohibition
law does not prohibit in many locali-
ties and is far from satisfactory but it
cannot be repealed until the people are
sure that a more satisfactory system
will be inaugulated-whicb system is
not the open saloon and it's demoraliz-
ing environments of territorial days.
