Mr.. Chain Is in a position to con-
duct a most dignified canvass for the
presidency. No schemes of campaign
finance need trouble his moments OF
solitude; no departure from principle
need cause him apprehension; no
pans for the accommodation of the
vlce-president's family In the white
house need bother him at night. There
are many occupations in life more
trying than being the prohiblt.onist
candidate for president.

THE ELECTION AND
ITS GREAT LESSON

The liquor interests of Mansfield
have their own good and careful con-
duct to thank for the victory won Fri
day by the narrow margin of Sd votes
The fact that the men engaged in the
business here are of higher character
and standing than in such cities as
GAINESVILLE, Bellaire, Findlay and some
other points that have gone dry Is a
notorious fact. Mansfield is peculiar
ly free from dives and the low re-
sorts that have caused men, even of
the most liberal views, to vote other
counties dry. The high character of
the population of this city has been
reflected, in fact in every line and
branch of it's business. The fact that
the liquor and brewing interests of
this city have engaged in the busi-
ness, men who have ever stood up
for Mansfield and whose civic pride
and liberality have contributed so
much toward it's growth, was taken
into consideration Friday by voters
who did not care to see only thirty
days notice given them to get out of
business. Hundreds of the men who
voted wet and who probably do not
ShICl a oolOOh OllOS III OLA AhOhbho
men who detest the abuse of strong
drink, were actuated by the consid-
erations stated.
Let the liquor interests take note,
however that the people will be re-
sentful of any infraction OF strict
observance of the laws and ordinan-
ces governing the regulation Of the
traffic. The vote Of Friday has mere
ly put them on probation and unless
that probationary period is closely OBJ
served in all respects the peril of be-
ing voted out will be enhanced many
fold. The peoples jury rendered its
verdict but at that, the jury came
very nearly being a hung jury
