Will Carroll Vote ON Local Option

The bill introduced by Senator Beas-
man in the Senate as to whether Car
roll county is to have a local option
vote next fall passed the Senate on
Wednesday and is now in the hands of
the House for it's verdict.
! Senator Beasman says the people of
this county have become deeply inter-
ested in the subject. Advocates of
license believe that the majority of
voters oppose prohibition, while the
prohibitionists are equally confident
that they will have a majority IL the
question be submitted to the people.
Under the circumstances, Senator
Beasman thinks it only right to pre-
sent the bill permitting vote on local
option in the county to permit a fair
test Of strength and allow the voters
to settle the question for themselves.
When the bill was presented Senator
Beasman asked that it be referred to
a special committee instead of to the
Temperance Committee He asked
the President to appoint himself, his
good local-option friend" from Queen
Anne's and Senator Coady, chairman
of the Temperance Committee. Mr..
Coady asked to be excused and Sena-
tor Lee was named in his place.
