DO NOT HAMPER DEMOCRACY
WITH LOCAL lSSUEl

What should the Democratic party
do about prohibition?
We have an overwhelming majority
N the constitutional convention. The
Republicans are watching to find some
real error which they think will re-
suit in their advantage.
We have said all the time in these
columns that the result finally would
be the best constitution ever secured
in any state.
The aggressiyeness OF corporate
greed is being controlled
The great public r3rriers will be
placed in truth and in fact where they
are in theory, the real servants of the
people.
The repositories OF the people. the
banks, will be placed on sound
iasis. and a system of examinations
and reports established SO rigid that
public and private losses will be re-
duced TO a minimum.
A system OF taxation has been de-
yised 50 that all classes of property
will be subject to taxation and win
bear an equal share OF the public
burden.
A liberal exemption will prevent op-
preston and give every man a chance
TO make ne,, start in life
The political subdivisions of the
state are determined and fixed.
Public schools are most literally
endowed for all classes. and institu-
tons of higher learning are placed on
4 par with the older states. Our
children can receive ample and finish
ed instruction in all the arts and
sciences within our own colleges and
universities.

comes all authority and In them is

Democratic way, changed only to
meet modern Democratic ideas.
OF ali this we are justly proud. SO
far we have pursued no ism and made
no mistake
One of the most importan. ques-
tions yet to be settled is the control
of the liquor traffic We predict IN
this, the same good sense will pre-
vail
Let the control be thorough Allow
its sale only in organized towns and
cities. Make ihe license high enough
to eliminate all irresponsible dealers,
Then let each community say for
itself whether its sale will be prohibit

initiate in the people and vote on the
question within certain periods. In
this way all towns and cities will have
prohibition that desire il, and tile sen.
timent of the people will enforce the
law NJthout turmoil. IL Will only be
sold in those places where the people
want Il, and true Democracy Is the
will OF the people. Mr.. Bryan says,
"the viii OF the people Of the locality
affected Is the truest Democracy and
in ali possible cases should alone pre-
