With TheLegislators

The result of the county option |
elections yesterday is the subject of |
considerable comment among the mem |
bers of the legislature, many of whom |
are of the opinion that these elections |
will exert considerable influence on the
attempt of the liquor forces to repeal
the county local option law. But there |
is another question. A bill has been |
introduced to strengthen the blind |
tigar law, to put it back to its form
as originally introduced before the |
Beardsley amendment was made to 1T, !
and from every part of the state the
representatives of wholesale and retail
drug stores and others who have no
license to retail liquors are coming to
town to defeat the amendment to the
blind tiger law. 1t has been demon
strated time and again since the coun-
ties in Indiana have been going dry
that unless the blind tigar law is en-
forced there is no need of voting a
county dry for the bling tigers flourish
in almost every part of dry territory,
and it is only once In a while that the
violators of the law are arrested and
punished. The prosecuting attorneys
and courts do not seem in some parts
of the state, anxious to enforce the
is more complaint than there was when
the saloons were operating the particu-
lar localities where the people voted
the saloons out. There will be almost
as hard a fight on the amendment to
the blind tiger law as there will be
when the bill to repeal county option
comes up.

Wonld it not then only be justice to him
