candidate for every state office must state
his position on the liquor question and
every democratic candidate for the United
States senate and every democratic candi-
date for congress must be for or against the
Bryan program as outlined In his recent
editorial.

he could dismiss the county option ques-
ton by simply saying that Is a matter
for the districts to settle will not do He
will be required 20 say whether he will
sign a county option bill II 1t passes the
legislature.

posed an amendment to the interstate com
merce law providing that when Interstate

posed the Issuance of federal liquor licenses

against the Baltimore g. Ohio Southwestern
Railroad company, claiming that it had
carried as many shipments OF live stock
from shippers In various points In Illinois

The railroad admitted the shipment and
its detention beyond tho statutory time. but
1t averred guilt OF only one offense be-
cause all the shipments were carried in one
train, and expressed willingness to pay
fine for one violation.
