Wet Versus DRY

The anti-saloon element is max
ing stubborn fight to have an
election ordered TO see whether
the 'wets" or ''drys" are in a
majority in Battletown district.
The application for an election
was heard before Judge +. W.
Harrison in vacation in Winches-
ter last week and retulted in
temporary defeat for the ''drys."
inasmuch as they did not have the
necessary number of qualified sig
natures to their petition.
As originally presented, the
petition bore a sufficient number
of signatures, but it was demon
strated to the satisfaction of the
court that number OF the signers
were not qualified voters. The
court allowed the anti-Saloon peo-
pie an opportunity of adding other
names.
The attorney for the "wctS" Is
Hon. Marshall Mccormick. and
the anti-saloOn element is repre-
sented by Attorney +. b. Whiting.
The case viii come up for further
agrumenton Saturday of this week.
when it Is expected that Judge
Harrison Will finally decide the
matter.
The ground taken 10y those who
favor saloon license i, that the
town Is burdcned with debt. the
taxes Is now collected are not
large. and If the saloon license is
done away with the town of Berry
willie will soon become bankrupt.
The receipts derived from saloon
license now aggregate more than
half of the amount collected i'm
Berryville from all sources. and
the forces who favor license say
that an immense land and realty
tax would have to be levied to
make up this deficiency. and that
the taxpayers would not or could
not stand that heavy increase.
On the other hand, the anti
forces argue that if saloon license
Is done away with the expenses of
the town will be so curtailed that
there will be no need for an in
crease of taxation. Ii Is said by
some that the salary paid to the
town sergeant, and similar items
of cost, will be done away with.
and that the expenses so curtailed
will be equal to the receipts from
saloon licenses.
That argument i met with the
statement that the Town Sergeant's
salary amounts To less than 800
per year, while the receipts from
licenses Is more than three times
that amount.
Another point presented by the
anti-Saloon element is that the inn
proved morals of the town will
more than outweigh the increase
in taxation necessary to make up
for the loss of the revenue.
The saloon people meet this
argument with the statement that
having had local option ut one
time, Berryville had all of It's i'll
results and none of its virtues. aS
whiskeY' was sold here through
"blind-tigerS' and other means. as
well as through the medium of
large Jug trade" from WincheS-
ter and other nearby points.
1t is admitted by the saloon peo-
pie that the consumption of beer
will be decreased, but it is con-
tended that experience has taught
that the drinking of whiSkey Will
not bc stopped, nor even lesSened,
and that the quality of the product
will be of the most inferior and
poisonous kind.

TRENTON. April ), 1eO4-The Dem
Ocrat State Convention in the State
Street Theatre yesterday was the most
enthusiastic and. up to certain point,
the most harmonious of any similar con-
vention held in the State for years.
There were almost 1900 delegates,
and notwithstanding the size of the
crowd and the number of contests the
actual work of the convention did not
last over an hour, outside of the address
which was delivered by Richard v.
Lindabury on assuming the chair.
1t was nearly one o'clock when the
convention was called to order by Chair
man W. B. Gourley and in the meantime
the delegations had slowly and orderly
drifted into the auditorium and taken
their places.
There were loud and prolonged cheers
when former United States Senator
James Smith. Jr., made his appearance
on the platform.
Chairman Gourley called the conyen-
tion to order and in few words named
Richard Y. Lindabury of Newark as
chairman, and the choice was unani-
mousIy adopted Mr. Lindabury, who
has been mentioned as a probable candi-
date for Governor, was greeted with un-
bounded cheers as he stepped to the
fag-draped stand to address the conyen-
ton.
He was cheered as the next Cover
nor of New Jersey. and then in one Of
the most forcible and logical addresses
eyer heard in a State convention he ar
raigned the National administration for
its perfdy in snatching from weak
sister republic what it could not wait
to acquire by honorable means; the
Presidents usurpation of the legislative
functions in his pension ruling; the Pres
ident's craftiness in overriding Congress,
the Senate, in appointing a personal
friend and an inexperienced army Off
Ger over the heads of the generals of
the regular army during a constructive
recess; the attitude of the administra-
tion m dealing with trusts, and then,
turning his attention to the State adj
ministration, characterized it as Neing
the weakest, most trust-ridden and trust
controlled administration the State ever
had.
Adverting to 1he special session, he
said that it was bid for votes and not
motive Of virtue that led the admin
istration TO recall the Legislature; that
that it was recalled to give the Lehigh
Valley Railroad the canal and the water
rights of the northern part of the State
and not to consider the poor pigeon.
Had it been recalled to consider the
subject of equal taxation he said the
people would have something to be
thankful for.
Mr. Lindabury's speech is printed
more fully in another column.
When he had finished his address he
