THE REFERENDUM.

If the coming Legislature complies
with the petition embodied in this plank
of the state Republican platform, it will
formulate a law embOdying the features
of license and local option, which will
take effect if the citizens of the state so
elect by majority vote. The people
will then have before them two measures
dealing with the problem so that the two
can be carefully compared, which would
not be the case were the legislature to
ask the people to vote simply for or
against the present law, for in the latter
case they would be merely rejecting pro-
hibition without knowing what they
were to secure in its place. If the plank
adopted Thursday is carried out, the peo-
pie will know Just what to expect in the
event of change from prohibition to
license, for the new measure, complete
and explicit, will be under cons liberation,
subject to criticism and rejection. 1t
can be seen therefore that the plank in
question is not a declaration in favor of
license and local option, but is simply a
petition that the people be given an op.
portunity by the Legislature to choose
between two systems of dealing with the
traffic of Intoxicating liquors; between
the prohibitory law and license and
local option law. Ours is government
of maiOritIes and If majority of our
people prefer either system to the other
the majority are entitled TO compliance
with their wishes IN the matter. \ new
law will have to satisfy a majority of
the members of the legislature and then
majority of the people, else il will fail
and prohibition will continue in force
1t remains to be seen, therefore. whether
the advocates of license elected to the
| legislature can formulate license law
that will thus commend itself.-Burling-
ton Free Press.

law was made in response to demand
which has existed for number of years,
but which has grown more insistent dur
ing the present campaign for the COVER

publican caucuses to an unusual degree,
So that with their aid minorities have

We believe that the adoption of a local
option law will result in more stringent
prohibition than Vermont has ever seen.
In the larger towns, which have been
calling for local option or license, IL
censes will without doubt be granted,
when the granting of them is authorized
by the law. The cause of temperance
will not suffer, because liquor is freely
sold in most of those towns now In viO-
latiOn of the law. In the smaller towns,
where prohibition sentiment is the
strongest, the vote will be for no license,
and these small towns constitute ma
iority of the municipalities of the state.
When the people of these towns them
selves vote in favor of municipal prohl'
bition they will see that it is enforced
better than 1t is now. IL will be their
local affair then, and they will enforce
their municipal legislation. 1t is worth
much TO be honest and honest dealing
with this question is demanded by the
action of the Republican state conven-
tlon.-Montpelier Daily Evening Argus.
We fail to see any objection to the
mode of referendum of the prohibitory
question to the people of Vermont pre-
