County local option was started on its
legislative journey at Saturdays session.
Though the way looked dark and rough
and was known TO be beset with many
dangers. friends of the reform were conf
dent that the journey would be made
with safety and dispatch. Difficulty was
encountered at the very outset inasmuch
as two kinds of county option appeared
and each claimed the right of way. One
was started by the Indiana Anti-Saloon
League, and was supposed to bear the adj
ministrative stamp. The other was start
ed by Senator Mattingly of Washington,
author of the high-license bill two years
ago, champion of the blind tiger" bill,
and one of the stanchest temperance work
ers in the State. Both bills named the
county as the unit for the proposed legis-
lation, but they differed in details. The
conflict was notable in at least one phase.
This conflict was such as to make the
leaders decide that the bills should follow
regular courses. The better one, leaders
say, will live: in other words, it will be
