The voters OF Marshall county will
demonstrate at the polls on next
Thursday that they are opposed to
the repeal OF the County Option law
They will also demonstrate that any
party which is dominated by whisky
interests will not receive their support

If Mr.. Wise had declared himself
opposed 10 repeal of the Option law,
then no controversy would have aris-
en- over this election, which has no
other possible issue, excepting the Lo-
