COUNTY LOCAL OP-
TION IS RIGHT

BECAUSE the County is the natural
unit Of government. The county pro-
rides the machinery and the officers for
.he enforcement Of law. The county
elects the judge, prosecuting attorney,
county commissioners and the sheriff,
who are charged with and equipped for
the enforcement Of the law in every
part OF the county.
BECAUSE voting on the saloon ques-
tion with the county as the unit makes
Ehe Law more easily enforceable. When
saloon towns are left scattered over the
county they form distributing points
from which the liquor dealers force
their goods upon other towns that have
voted against them. County Option
puts "wet' and "dry'' towns farther
apart.
BECAUSE the county is the natural
unit Of taxation. The poor house, Grim
inal court, county Jail, penitentiary and
insane asylums are supported by the
entire county. There are Sc counties
in South Dakota. In nearly all Of these
more than 50 per cent of the county and
outside of incorporated towns and
cities.
BECAUSE the cities are interested in
the farmer. They must look to him for
shree meals a day He supports their
azores, churches and schools. He sub
scribes to their papers and puts his
money in their banks. His welfare is
their success. Hence the towns and
cities can i'll afford to deny him vote
On the saloon that endangers his fam
xy.
BECAUSE the farmer is interested in
the city for there he must send his chill
dren to school and go himself to trade.
There his son and his hired help get
sheir liquor. The city limits is only
AN IMAGINARY LINE, and the unit
Of control ought to be as large as the
unit of influence
BECAUSE county unit local option
haw will stop the colonizing now re-.
sorted to by the liquor men. When
evsr the election in a town or city is
close the liquor men get "wet" voters
from the county to live in tt sswn OF
city for TEN days, but they would
have to live in the county THIRTY
days before they could vote. The sa
soon men can not board "t1oaterso fol
THIRTY days without prosecution.
BECAUSE the law is reasonable. II

SACRAMENTO. Nov. 2s.-There will
be no inaugural ball for Governor Elect
Hiram W. Johnson and the oYner state
officers in Sacramento this January.
The ball committee acted tonight upon
the request of Johnson that he be ex
cused from participa ting and dropped
preparations. AS one committeeman
said, AN inaugural ball without the
governor present would be as Hamlet
without Hamlet"
The decision to cancel the inaugural
ball came only after strenuous objec-
tions on the part of several committee
men. These were in favor of further
urging the governor by asking him TO
reconsider. but the cooler heads who
knew the governor be ter suggested
that there be no urging. Mitchell Ma
than, department store manager; former
senator DR. j. A. Mckee and Harry
Thorp thought the governor was wrong,
but they formed small minority.
Mayor Beard was asked If the letter
was positive Its as positive as a
positive man can make it," he answered.
There must be some sort of function in
lieu of this. they agreed so a reception
later in the month was decided upon.
