MR.. RosB EXPLAINS.
His Position on the Local Option Law
Elucidated,

Assistant United States Attorney
General Charles III. Robb has written
To the Mortified News regarding cer-
tam editorial comment made by that
paper on his alleged change of opin-
Ion In regard to the present local OPP
ton law, the comment having been
based on n recent Washington news
paper interview. The letter Is as fol-
lows.
Editor OF the News:
In your paper of Oct. 3d. you do
me the honor to refer to an interview
I'm the Washington Post relative to
the local option law In Vermont. From
that interview you reach the conclu
sion that have changed my opinion
with respect to this question. Permit
me TO say that ] am as firm believer
In prohibition In a rural state like
Vermont, as ! was prior 10 the repeal
of the prohibitory law; but | am sat
isfied that the local option law has
given general satisfaction and that a
large majority of the people OF the
state favor its retention In preference
to the old law. Such being the case,
in my judgment, II would not be In
the interest of temperance TO again
precipitate contest over an abstract
principle Under the present law po-
hliNdi SolslutidllOIls nave Dttil ldISt-
ly eliminated. and the question in
given locality whether saloons should
be endorsed or denounced. has been
passed upon purely as. local question.
Now that the daesrfon has been taken
out of politics, many men who for
merly opposed the prohibitory law
and esnoused a local option law. do
not hesitate to vote and speak against
the saloon Their influence is potent
in the community where they live, and
a healthier public sentiment is there
by created and sustained. In short, II
has been demonstrated TO the advo-
Gates of temperance that they have
nothing to fear from an annual sub
of the question TO the voters
In the various towns of the state.
For these reasons | am constrained
10 believe that il would be unwise TO
disturb the present law.
Very truly yours.

nomination of Fred Dubois for COVER
nor would precipitate the fight for
and against the Mormon church in its
most virulent form. If the church
has bitter and unrelenting enemy in
the United States senate it is Senator
Dubois. Last year, under his leader
ship, his friends forced plank in
the democratic platform declaring war
on the church. On that issue they
ran ex-senator Henry Heitfeld for
governor, and while he was beaten,
he ran several thousand votes ahead
of the democratic national ticket.
The ultimate aim of the Dubois
men is to disfranchise the Mormons
on the ground that they owe an ale
glance to their church superior to
that which they acknowledge to the
government of the United States. If
Dubois could be elected governor he
would probably pull legislature
through with him which could be de-
pended upon not only to return him
to the senate, but to bar the Mormons
forever from exercising the right of
suffrage.
Senator Dubois is leading the fight
in tho senate to unseat Reed Smoot,
the Mormon apostle who was elected
to that body from Utah. He is put
ting in the recess of congress in en-
listing the cooperation of civic and
religious bodies in the east. If be
can secure the expulsion of Apostle
Smoot, he will have won from that
great body a decision that a good
Mormon can not be a good American
citizen-for that is the gist of the ar
gument against Smoot.
Senator Dubois himself has sale
that the Mormon church controls on
third OF the vote of Idaho. To b.
elected governor Dubois must bay'
behind him the great proportion o
, the gentle vote. There Is no doub
that money galore would be poure'
