league says Il Is riding on the crest
OF temperance wave that has en-
quilted the liquor business In Georgia

sweep the saloon out OF Ohio.

fight. but says the weight OF II will
be In the senate. The bill, he be-
lieves, will pass the house.
County local option is before both
bodies. The house has the Ditmars
bill, the senate has the Rose bill.
The Anti-Saloon league has chosen
the Rose bill as its instrument.
The leagues entire fight ia planned
for this one measure. There may
be one or two bills to correct defects
in existing temperance legislation.
The women's bill to permit the ais
franchised sex to vote on all tenn
perance questions will get few
kindly words And the temperance
women are planning the fight of their
lives and the most assiduous lobbying
for their bill. More picturesque
trouble for the legislator.

strength behind county local option.
