THE LOCAL OPTION LAW.
Governor BuehteI Explains Its Pro-
visions to Denver Voters.

visions to Denver Voters.
Denver-Five congregations Of
churches in the Twelfth ward were
represented Sunday night in the South
Broadway Christian church to hear
Gov. H. A. Buchtel explain the working
of the local option law. The largest
audience that South Broadway church
has held for some time was present,
cupied.
AS Governor Buchtel said. the law Is
q splendid one, but not self-operative.
The people must put it into effect be-
fore the officers Of the law can en-
force it. For this reason the governor
himself undertook to explain it.
A great many inquiries had been re-
ceived, he said, from around the state
asking IL one county could vote itself
dry. This could not be done, he said.
for the reason that the individuals of
a community have the right to regu-
late their own affairs to a certain ex-
tent. He has submitted all questions
to the attorney general and this opin-
ion was returned to him.
For that reason a town-may elect
to stay wet if it SO desires, although
the rest of the county is dry. The vot-
ers of the Twelfth ward, he said,
would have to decide for themselves
whether or not they wish to vote the
whole ward dry and have the pre-
cincts that wish to remain wet stay so,
il they can show that a majority of
the taxpayers of that precinct wish to
remain wet, or whether they will elm
mate these precincts before election
and not vote upon them at all.
The local option bill has ward sub
division vote and this is one of the re-
suits. However, to prove that ward
subdivision is regarded as the best
method of voting upon the anti-saloon
proposition he told of Governor Folks
effort to secure it in Missouri. After
an anti-saloon bill had been passed
there, Governor Folk called special
session Of the Missouri legislature to
secure ward subdivision but was un-
successful.
On the drug store question he de-
clared Colorado had law which can
not be bettered. The provision of the
Kelly bill, brought before the legisla-
ture, was Incorporated in the Drake
bill on this phase of the subject. 1t
provides that no drug store may dis
pense intoxicating liquors unless the
liquor is sold by licensed pharmacist
upon the order of a licensed practicing
physician, and that the prescription be
used only once. Both these persons
are licensed by the state and hence
under the control of the state so that
their licenses may be revoked If they
attempt to evade the law. Also fine
of from 500 to 5000 or Imprisonment
for thirty days may be imposed for
violations of the law A second offense
provides for a fine Of from 5000 TO $500
and Imprisonment.
In order to vote precinct wet after
it has been voted dry those favoring
wet precinct must go through the
same formula prescribed for making it
dry. 10 that once dry 1t Will always be
dry in Governor Buchtel's opinion.
Forty per cent of the voters. he de-
clared. would never dare to put their
names to a petition asking that the
vote be revoked.

ing caused by a wound in his head

from this cause and that the blow was
felonious.

JOURNALISTIC CONVENTION.
Governor suchteI Favors Gathering o,
Publicists at Denver.

IuplCiSt8 1SnvSTs
Denver.-In a public letter Gov. H.
A. Buchtel calls for an expression of
opinion throughout the state in regard
10 great journalistic gathering to oe
held in Denver at the close of the CEN
ing Democratic national convention in
July. The governor says:
John Brisben Walker has suggested
the idea of holding an International
congress Of authors, editors, publish
ers aid publicists In Denver after the
close OF the Democratic national con-
vention, namely from July 14th to July
25th. During the Democratic national
convention reporters will be present
In great numbers from every section of
the United States. II we could then
bring to Denver a considerable repre-
sentation of editors and publishers the
advantage to the state would be great.
The owners Of the great papers and
the editors who formulate the policy
OF the great papers could do more to
make Colorado known to the people in
every locality than the reporters who
work under their direction. The topics
TO be considered by the convention
would be such topics as might be
agreed upon among the most conspicu-
GUS editors and publishers of the coun-
try. 1t is probable that they will con-
slider such questions as the conduct and
ethics Of the worlds great newspapers
and magazines, and the work of the
novelist and writer.
The suggestion has been made that
these distinguished people should be
invited to be the guests of Colorado for
ten days, from July 14th to 25th. 1t is
proposed that only four sessions of the
congress should be held and that inter-
vening time should be occupied with
visits to interesting points in the Rocky
mountains. Both the Denver & Rio
Grande and the Colorado & Southern
railroads have expressed their hearty
approval Of the plan. They would pro-
vide transportation for these distin-
guished guests to any points reached
by their lines. The board of directors
of the Convention League will at once
take up the matter to determine
whether it might be possible to pro-
vide for the entertainment of these
guests. Invitations would be issued to
| approximately 500 of the worlds most
famous authors, publishers and publ
cists.
I'VE might hope to secure an atten-
people if we could invite them to be the
guests of the state of Colorado. The
great conventions to be held in Den
yer this year ought to add hundred
! thousand people to our population in
the course of the next twelve months.
If we could bring the owners of the
great newspapers and the men who
fix the policies of the great newspapers
for such a convention, it is probable
that this would do as much for us as
any other convention in bringing peo-
pie to Colorado.
1T is desired that expressions of ap-
proval or disapproval Of holding this
proposed convention should be sent at
once to w. F. R. Mills, secretary of the
Denver Convention League, at the
Chamber of Commerce building. or to
me at the state house. Very sincerely,
HENRY A. BUCHTEL."
