The Liquor Law Fight.
montpelier Cor. of the Boston
Transcript

montpelier Cor. of the Boston
Transcript
In the seven weeks intervening
before the referendum, there is like
lihood of the greatest activity on
both sides. Most prominent and
conspicuous among the opponents of
the new law will be, of course, the
old-time advocates of State prohibit
ton; and it will be the effort of the
friends of the license measure to
make it appear that nearly all the
opposition is composed of men who
simply wish to keep the old prohib-
itory law unchanged, with all it's
otfensiveness and inefficiency as a
temperance measure. They will
doubtless be aided in this by the i'm
temperance and apparent bigotry of
some who fight against the change.
The license men have shrewdly
compelled the contest to take place
in winter, when the country roads
are most likely to keep from the peo-
pie a large portion of the rural vote,
which is sure to be against the new
law; but if it should appear that
any large number of voters were
thus kept from the expression of
their views next February, the man
ifest injustice and unfairness of the
referendum will create a reaction
against it's result.
1t is becoming evident already
the new law must meet determined
opposition from two other classes of
voters besides extreme prohibition
lists. The agitation of the last year
has convinced many former believers
in prohibition that it is a mistake
to attempt it in large places where
the local sentiment makes it farce
and worse; and that local option
must be henceforth given to the
towns and cities. This does not mean,
however, that all such are ready to
see the saloon with all its acknow1-
edged evils given a free hand in
Vermont, without more study and
thought as to some other solution of
the matter. While the Battell bill,
in its original form, may not be the
key to the situation, it has undoubt- |
eddy suggested possibilities which |
with calmer and more candid reflec- |
tion might easily issue in a much |
less Objectionable handling of the
liquor traffic than the present license
law offers. How many who believe
in local option and freer sale of
liquor where local sentiment de-
mands it will jump at this first offer
Of relief, and how many will be
willing to wait with patience for
better cannot now be

MONTPELIER.

The employees of the Montpelier
and Barre electric road have made
a demand of the officers of the road
for an increase of pay on January
LIST, from fourteen and three tenths
cents to twenty cents an hour. AS
yet the company has not acceded to
the demand and the present outlook
is a tie up on the road. as the EN-
ployees say they shall go out on
Jan. LIST, unless their pay is raised
to the figures demanded. 1t is said
the suburban train on the Wells
River road from here to Barre will
run every hour so as to accommodate
the travelling public between the
two cities.
1t is now known why the last leg
islature did not complete its bust
ness and adjourn sine die before
Thanksgiving. 1t turns out to be a
fact that some of it's members in
stead of attending to business for
which they were elected. spent their
time in playing poker, consequently
had to prolong the session. This
coat is not intended for any mem
Der it does not fit.
1t is hoped that the committee of
IS will procure the publication of
$4,000 or more copies of the recent
letter of Judge Ross to the Ca1edo
MAN, and send a large number of
the same to every town in Vermont,
and that every voter will before he
casts his vote on the 3rd day of Feb
ruary next, on the referendum, care
fully read said letter and then vote
as, his conscience and better judg-
nent dictate. 1t is certain that the
opinion of such an eminent jurist as
Judge Ross. who is so widely and
favorably known throug bout Yer
mont will influence many voters.
