THE LOCAL OPTION PLANK.

First it was the Republican party, in state con-
vention assembled that turned down the local OPP
ton plank that offered by the temperance peo-
pie as one of the principles of that party in the
coming state campaign. Then the Democratic par
ty met at Logan and rejected similar plank in its
platform so that no legislation on this important
subject is promised by either party. What nflu-
ence was brought to bear upon the delegates to
ject the temperance plank has not been made pub
lie. 1t is likely the brewers and liquor interests
were there with the proper persuasion if they
not, there was some peculiar reversal of form which
cannot be accounted for readily. For it is certain
there is a very widespread desire among the people
that the temperance question should be put to
vote 1t is no more than right that the people shall
say whether not they want saloons. If the ma
jority of the people want saloons in a given dis
trict they ought to have them, for majority rules;
if the majority are against the maintenance of the
nuisance, then the saloon should be abolished in
that district.
Whether or not it is wise to go before conven-
ton of a political party and ask for plank
this subject, the real fight for local option law
has hardly begun. Instead of ending the fight, the
fact that the plank rejected by both the great
political parties makes it apparent that the cleo
ton to Office of men favorable to the passage of
local option law will be the work of the Anti-Sa-
loon league and others active in the temperance
movement. The question is really not political
question, and had one of the parties adopted To-
cal option plank and the other rejected it, that
would Immediately have made it partisan ques-
ton, and the answer at the coming election would
have been unsatisfactory because many would have
voted against the party advocating the temperance
plank and many would have voted for the same
party, and they would never have given thought
to this particular phase of the questions which they
were voting for at the polls. 1t is not the most
satisfactory way of accomplishing the enactment of
a local option law.
1t is hard to conceive of this question being
made partisan question 1t is hard to see just
