The Columbia Herald says the
st. Louis brewers are the fellows
back of the move to contest the
local option election recently held
in that town. The Herald makes
the following significant observa-
ton: OF course the st. Louis
brewers have the constitutional
right to hire lawyers and invoke
the law relative to the holding Of
elections. II the law has been
violated the violation is not excus-
able no matter in what interests
the violation occurred. But the
st. Louis brewers are sowing the
wind in the Columbia contest. II
they reap the whirlwind of state
wide prohibition they will have
themselves to blame.
