What F. w. McGettrick, Late Dem
ocratic Candidate For Govern
or, Says About Chronic
Rum Sellers.

(From Interview in St. Adams Messenger
The action of the chronic rum-sel-
lers, men who have for years prided
themselves on their ability to defy the
law and enrich themselves violating
the prohlbitory law, now brazenly and
dehantly throwing open the bars be-
fore the new goes into effect, is evil
dence OF their purpose to monopolize
or control the business in the event
of the laws acceptance by the people,
and in my judgment will drive thous-
ands of the friends of local option to
oppose the measure as they are not
the class of men that good citizens
wish to see hold licenses. Men who
have made it their business to violate
the prohibitory law and who have
made fortunes in that business will dis
regard the wholesome provision of a
license law with the same impunity il
they can make money by SO doing.

pOIITICs ALREADY In 1t.

1t is stated on excellent authority that
at least one of the avowed candidates
for alderman at the coming city election
has openly stated that his chief reason
for desiring place in the city council is
because he wants r license, and believes
his influence as alderman would be use
full in bringing about the desired end.
This is matter that deserves the care
full consideration of Montpelier people.
Everyone who knows anything about
local option in other States knows that
in nine tenths of the cities where il
prevails, the saloons play major part
in municipal politics and in many cases
absolutely dominates the municipal
affairs. This straw appearing two
weeks before the referendum is a pointer
to what every license city in Vermont
must expect and realize if the license
law is adopted.-Montpelier Daily
