THE COMMERCIAL CLUB

There were about forty present
at the rooms of the Commercial
club Monday night. The first
matter taken up was sewerage. All
seemed strongly in favor Of sewer
age and were practically agreed
upon the proposition to commence
the building of a main sewer on
Third or Second avenues as soon
as the necessary preliminaries
could be legally complied with.
Such sewer will be for the gen.
eral use and benefit of the whole
town and should, therefore, be paid
for by general tax and not by
the lot owners along one of these
avenues.
And it was the consensus of
opinion that the board of trustees
should submit such a proposition
to the voters at the April election.
A committee was appointed to go
before the board at its next meet
ing and urge immediate action.
The matter of forming districts
for laterals can come up later on
petition of majority of lot own
ers along the proposed districts.
1t seems the most feasible prop
osition is to vote about $4,000 in
bonds with which to construct a
main sewer.
1t is only matter of time when
sewerage will come, and the sooner
the better. 1t now looks as if
there will be SO dwellings, built in
the town during 1909 and it is I'M
portant to the builders to know
that sewer is to be constructed.
The matter of reservoirs was
also discussed. There is bill be-
fore the general assembly, known
as House Bill, 528, which provides
an appropriation to defray the ex-
pense of procuring definite facts
as to the amount of water, if any,
diverted by irrigation and which
does not finally find its way back
INTO the river; such evidence to be
used to convince the government
that water used for irrigation in
the San Luis valley finds its way
back into the river, except by evap-
Grafton, which is but little
The club adjourned to meet
again in two weeks.

We fought that out on the stump during

A compromise may be reached. II that
the legislature viii be asked TO submit
the prohibition question 10 the people in
another election. when the prohibition
question and no other viii be before the
people.
Why Leaders Dodge Prohibition.
One Of the principal reasons why the
Democratic organization wishes to fore
stall prohibition is the effect such an
issue may have on the future Of the
party.
Persons close 10 the organization
leaders point ont that in those Southern
States where the Democratic party has
absorbed prohibition and foisted it upon
the STATE the Republican party has made
tremt jous gains, and those States in
future may be termed doubtful territory
They assert that in North Carolina, as 2
result Of the Democratic prohibition.
Judge Taft poIled IS per cent Of the vote
last fall, and in Georgia Bryan only re-
ceived 1890 majority. They also declare
that North Carolina, Georgia and Ten
nessee, as the result Of Democratic pro-
hibition. have become fighting ground for
the Republicans. Thus. il is seen Why the
organization leaders view with alarm
the effect OF prohibition upon the future
Of their party as well as upon them
selves
They also declare that the prohibition
vote Is not sticking vote. Once II has
obtained prohibition Il viii not stick" 10
the party which granted its demands. but
viii be Indifferent about going to the polls
in future.
Another problem which is involved IN
this convention is, What viii be the atti-
tUde of Judge William Hodges Mann il
{
hibiuon? Judge Mann IS supported by
the state organization He Is also 2
vice president Of the Anti-SalOon League,
and Is committed 10 local option. II he
follows the convention into the prohfoi-
ton camp another question is whether
the state organization" viii throw its
support 70 Harry St George Tucker, who
has liberal views on the question Of
whisky.
Judge Mann, It is asserted. never faced
a mOre critical moment in his political
career. II he succeeds in holding the
convention 10 local option. It may be
said that he VIII be the next governor
Of Virginia. IF the convention overrides
him. no matter which way he turns he
faces a crisis. IF he joins ths prohibi-
tiOniSts he viii lose the machine vote.
for il IS not believed the leaders can
then hold the rank and file in line for
him. II he still UphOlds the principle Of
I local option. though the convention de-
elares for Statewide prohibition. he
viii lose the temperance vote in the
State. which may defeat him
II Is believed here. therefore. in the
light Of these conditions. Judge Msnn's
political future depends upon his control
