A FALSE STATEMENT.

The license people OF all sorts-the
newspaper men, the politicians, and
contend that prohibition was con-
demned in the last State election in
asmuch as the combined Democratic
and Clement votes were greater than
the combined straight Republican and
partisan prohibition votes; and fur
ther i'll the circumstance that SIM
liar classification and combination of
members of the Legislature showed a
majority for the first combination.
What was the issue in the Septem-
Der election?- On the part of the Re-
question of license or prohibition to
the direct vote of the people, through
a license law to be enacted by the
Legislature and to be submitted for
the acceptance or rejection of the vot-
ers. The Democrats declared for Ii
cense, straight. The conventions max
ing these declarations were representa-
tive bodies. The parties, in all parts
of the State, were properly and pro-
portionately represented. The Glenn
ent convention was not representative
of the State in any sense of the word !;
the two hundred people - more or
less-participating in the convention
constituted in no sense a representa-
tive body. They represented them
selves, not the State, the bulk of the
delegates" being from Burlington
and Rutland county, with here and
there town or city fairly well repre-
sented. Unquestionably Clement was
for license, but he and his followers
were for the referendum. The aggre-
gate vote of the September election
was as follows:
Mccullough 81, 1854
Clement 49, Ol
McGettrick 1884
Sherburne 2,498
Scattering 8
1t is not nece ssary to indicate the
standing of these candidates ON the
liquor question. The voters favoring
a straight referendum of the question
of method or system in the manage
ment of the liquor traffic, in the vote
for Mccullough, were in the lead the
voters favoring qualified referendum
came next in the vote for Clement !;
the vote for license, pure and unde-
filed by referendum of any sort, was
the vote for McGettrick, about one
quarter the vote for either McCul-
Tough or Clement.
The Legislature was elected on the
referendum issue, and it provided for
a referendum.
If that body, chosen by the vote in
September, had been for license
straight, as it is now commended, why
did it enact license law and then
provide that the people should vote for
it's acceptance or rejection, which prac-
tically they will do when they vote on
the question of the time when the pro-
posed law shall become operative? In
fact, license got in the popular cleo
ton z, 364 votes. The referendum got
so, 065 votes. Now the voters of the
State fare up against the main ques-
ton, Shall the State license the sale of
Intoxicating liquors?
A majority of those who attend the
February election and vote will de-
eide the question-temporar at least
There is no use in trying to forestall
the decision in February by maintain
ing that the State has already voted
"Yes'' and that the vote insFebruary
is merely form.
