THE COUNTY OPTION WE WANT.

The Prohibition party nowhere and
never consents to the settlement of
the saloon issue by county option leg
lslat1on. 1t is the duty Of the legis-
lature to protect the home of the state
by outlawing the saloon. 1t would be
absurd to submit the question whether
arson, burglary, highway robbery and
murder should be legalized to a vote
OF the several counties to deter
mine the life of the saloon in that
way.
Yet Prohibitionists are practical.
The saloon is legal. The statutes saw
1t may live. 1t exists. The Prohibi-
ton party is struggling to capture the
legislature and put an end to it's exis-
tence. Meanwhile we will unite with
all those who favor giving each coun-
ty the right to vote out the saloon. If
we succeed in sending some of our re-
personalities to St. Paul this year
they will be leaders in the movement
for the outlawry of the saloon by
counties. The justice of the law, Civ
ing the counties the right to thus pro-
tect their homes, is seen in the fact
that the saloon puts upon the several
counties, as such, burdens of taxation
as we'll as other burdens
But it will be said, "You Prohibi-
tionists believe, then, in giving the
people the right to vote out the sa-
loon by counties, but not the right to
vote it in by counties" Exactly. The
saloon has no moral right to exist.
1t should have no legal right. We
ask and before long shall receive
authority to drive it from our COM
by state law. Meanwhile

THEY ARE "GooD LOCKERS"

You saw the fine half-page engrav-
ing of nearly forty Prohibition legis-
lative candidates in our Campaign
Special? Weren't they good look
ers?" Did any of them have horns or
hoofs? Did they look like cranks or
fanatics? Didn't they look like clean
men, square men, men who have con-
v1ctions and dare to stand for them?
What is the matter with F. F. Mar
zahn OF Waterville, the big little fell
low who has done business in that
largely German city for quarter of
century and has also made a bust
ness of talking and working for pro-
hlb1tlon and who has built up a splen-
did trade nevertheless? Or with T.
E. Noble of Freedom county, the sue
cessful dairyman, whom everybody
respects and who stands a very
good chance of getting a seat at st.
Paul next winter. Or with M. G.. Mad
sen, the square, level-headed Hutchin-
son business man? Or with J. F.
Damon the Winnebago merchant and
hlgh-minded churchman, whom all
classes OF people in Faribault county
declare should go to the legislature?
Or with Donald Mckenzie, the Fight
ing Parson of Excelsior, who would
make model legislator? Or with
e. e. Lobeck, that fine type of Scandi-
navian-American? Or with w. G..
Calderwood or Geo. w. Higgins, whose
splendid abilities, as shown in their
management of party affairs, should
be employed for the benefit of the
state? And there are others.
We are proud of our candidates as
a whole, side by side with those of
the other parties, and are willing to
abide the judgment of the candid men
OF all parties as to their character
and comparative qualifications for the
1uties of the positions for which they
nave been nominated.

TO THE PROHIBITION PARTY, DR.

Every foe of the saloon owes much
to the Prohibition party. Whether OF
not he has ever voted it's ticket, he
is under obligations to it for having
made a continuous, desperate, even
heroic fight against the saloon. We
say heroic because it has cost many
OF it's members worldly honors, posi-
ton, business and some of them their
lives. They owe much to it because
1t has not been deferred from it's
course by fear of misunderstanding.
or abuse. 1t has resisted all tempta-
lions to lower it's standard or to hasten
It's elevation to power by sacrifice
OF principle. 1t has been beaten, be-
smirched, bedraggled and spit upon,
but having done all, it has stood and
still stands.
We may as well say that if the VIC
tory shall be delayed generation or
thousand years there will be Spar
tan band of opponents of the horrible
saloon and they will say with their
ballots what they think about it and
what they want done with it. But
such a party ought to win now and in
order to gain immediate victory every
man who abhOrs the liquor traffic
should now say to himself, "The Pro
party has been fighting my
battle, a battle for my home and nv
country for a generation. I owe it
debt OF gratitude. can pay it in
only one way I can give it the sup
port of my ballot at this election and,
God helping me, ! will do So"

PRoHIBITIoNIsTs FOR JONES.

AS foretold, county chairman ]. D.
Engle, who received the Prohibition
nomination for mayor of Minneapolis
in order that in case of the defeat of
Mayor Jones at the primary the better
element would not be without a can
didate, did not ask to have his name
placed on the official ballot. Prohibi-
tionists will support Mayor Jones.
The first plank in Mr.. Jones' wide
ly circulated platform reads, "The
home and the school against the en-
croachments Of the saloon" The
mayor has declared that he sees no
reason why the saloon can not be
closed seven days in the week if the
people want it done. He has put on
the lid and kept it down. And he
promises that if elected there will be
more moral progress in the city in
the next two years than in the last
two years. PrOhibitionists like these
things in Mayor Jones and believe
he is headed the right way. This is
why they are supporting him.

A DISTINCTION,

Election-day and your ballot will
not determine necessarily what you
WAN. but they will dete mine what
you OF der as citizen of the stat, aud
nation. They may not determine how
pure or honest or sympathetic you
are but they will determine where your
political Influence goes. They may
not determine how you feel upon the
saloon issue but they will determine
now you stand in your capacity as a
citizen. They may not determine
what you think upon the saloon uues-
tion but they will determine to what

THE ROUNDUP.

Let the closing days of the cam
paign be crowded with painstaking
effort to improve each opportunity
stop each leak and remove each un-
certainty. If one more meeting ought
to be held in your community or in
an adjacent community, get at it. If
you havn't carried out your carefully
conceived plan to flood your village
or township or county with literature,
attend to it now. Spend that evening
among your neighbors, as you deter
mined, to bring them into line. Have
that conversation with that friend or
relative. Don't forget to answer that
objection. Make that appeal. Get that
pledge. The time is nearly up, but

GET OUT THE VOTE!

See that every Prohibitionist and
every voter who is willing to East his
vote for any portion of the Prohibition
ticket gets to the polls. Of course
every American ought to appreciate
his high prerogative sufficiently to
attend to this matter without being
reminded of it or urged to it by
others. But 1--WE are confronted with
a condition and not a theory"

Right after you have said YOUR
prayers every morning until election
day, repeat to yourself this Injunction
OF State and National Secretary Cal
derwood: "The way to carry the ma

lightning in your heels, or mount your
bike, or hitch up your Prohibition
Dobbin and proceed to land your
township in the Prohibition column.

WE ARE WITH THE PEOPLE.

The people will find out that when
few have passes on railroad trains
or street cars the many must pay the
bill. The Prohibition party stands for
the interests Of the people in these
things and even if our platform did
not commit us to the right position
regarding them every man on our Job,
elected to st. Paul, may be safely de-
pended upon to favor and work for
legislation which will remedy these
evils.
The public weal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1906-1908, 1906-10-15

we will seize every opportunity to cap
ture a county, ward, a precinct, a
street, or even one side of street
from the saloon devil and restore to
the people their own. This is the
kind Of county option that the Prohibi-
ton party believes in.

TO STOP PLURAL VOTING.
Bill iu House of Commons filmed at
Land Ozcners.

London, May 2-Lewis Harcourt, Radical. IN
troduced in the House Of Commons to-day a
bill prohibiting plural voting Hitherto the
practice in this country has been for voter to
exercise the franchise In perhaps half dozen
localities, or wherever he qualified TO do so.
The proposed law limits him TO a vote in one
constituency. Those entitled to several votes
must select once yearly the constituency in
which they desire to exercise the privilege Of
voting. If discovered voting elsewhere they
will be punishable under the Corrupt Practices
act. The measure. If it becomes a law. will
mainly affect the landowners vote.
