CAMDEN rs WET AGAIN.

houses opened again last evening. to the
relief Of her thirsty citizens. who had been
forced by th, action Of the Law and Order
League TO face the prospect of doing with

clarlng the present Excise Board illegal

evening Of an ordinance ratifying the

All the trouble came out Of the attempt
to make the Excise Board bpart isan. There
are five members and az the election last
year each ballot named only three. Tho
Suprem" Court decided that this subt erfuge
wa unconsti,utional. and because each
citizen had not voted for all five members

OF the Excise Board its power reverted to

II had been the understanding. the saloon
men 'aid, that If the law were knocked out
the city would protect them, and when the
ordinance was passed no extra fee was
charged for the licenses except pro ratio

had been PASSED there was a rush of saloon
