CHARLESTON OPINION

A correspondent OF the Wheeling
Reg ster writing from Char eston
says:
Present information indicates the
decisive defeat OF the prohibit ON
amendment in the senate leaving
the field TO be Tough: over between
the local opt on forces and those of
the model license plan. The mode
license people have been actively at
work here, and have secured many
signatures to the petit ion for the
enactment of their scheme into a
statute, and when the battle Is ON
between them and the ,ocal option
people it WIN be fast and fierce
one. The Anti-Saloon League folks
Will be pretty badly d'sgusted when
they find their amendment beaten.
and whether they Will fall into the
support of the local option idea is
problematlcal.
Since Governor-elect Glasscock
announced himself in favor of a
public service commission the ma N
has found favor I'm many eyes here
tofore blinded 90 its beauty. and II
looks now like it's enactment into
low would be easily accomplished.
Senator William Campbell, during
his service OF eight years made a
practice of introducing at each ses-
lon a bill for the creation Of a
railroad commission, and the Demo-
cratic members of both houses havs
most unanimously favored n and
voted for II every time they had the
opportunity. They Will probably be
found ready and willing, not TO CAV
anxious, to support pubic service
comm So on law and the governor
elect wll have their earnest assist
ance passing his measure.

ter:
II have your letter notifying me
