Well, we have often seen farmers
who seemed to us to think just like

q "One of the first moves made i'm
mediate1y after election, was to select
a Speaker of the House. The Lieu-
tenant Governor had been fixed at the
State Convention, and they only had
to consider the matter of the speaker
ship.
"The principal thing that they de-
mand of Speaker is the nomination
of the members of the temperance
committee. That committee was
formed over IS years ago in recogni-
ton of the temperance sentiment that
existed in the State at that time. In
other words, this committee was Gre
ated with the expectation that it
would be especially favorable to tenn
perance 1egislation; but how has it
worked out?
"When we took the very first vote
in the Senate temperance committee
appointed by the presiding officer OF
the Senate who had pledged himself
before election that the temperance
people should get fair treatment,
there were votes against County
Option, and only one for it.

Great Georgian Says Battle Must Be
Won Thru County Option.

We regret that space will not permit
of comment on the other addresses
made during the day and evening of the
convention, but those not discussed here
will be reviewed in the Minnesota Issue,
the official organ of the Anti-Saloon
League. Among these will be the
speeches of Prof A. J. MCGUIRE, Repre-
sentative G. H. Mattson, Hon. F. N:
Stacy, Rev. Father James Reardon and
the big address of the meeting by Hon.
Seaborn Wright of Georgia
One point in Mr.. Wright's speech
made a distinct impression. He en-
phasized county option as the only
logical means of dealing with the liquor
interests and based his argument on
his own experience and observations IN
the South. In this connection he said:
"I say to you you will never win
in any state in the other until you get
this great law and found your fight
upon it. The county is the unit. It
gives to the strong, virtuous and 1ntell1-
gent men of your county the right to
be heard 1t puts your farmers in line
with your city people. 1t disfranchises
no man. 1t gives every man within the
limit of your county as unit the right
of American citizenship, and it does
more than that, it gives to the people
of the county as a unit the old right
that our fathers fought and died for
the right of local self government.
"Whenever you deny the county to
vote as a unit on this proposition, then
when that right is denied you have re
versed one of the fundamental prir1-
cip1es 11Oon which our government was
bui1t-that there shall be no taxation
without representation.
"We went upon that idea in the
South. In every single southern state
dry tonight. we built upon that County
Local Option, and before we ever
dreamed of going into state prohibi-
tion. wa had eliminated the saloon from

men that they suspected would be
friendly to their interests after they
got there. But they didn't require
anything else of them except that
they should pledge themselves to vote
against County Option. They were
kind enough to allow a member to
vote as he pleased on every other
question. That continued for about
four years, but it wasn't entirely sat
lsfactory to the interests, and they
formulated new plan, and to illus
trate this new plan | want to tell a
little story of an incident that took
place in one of the legislative districts
of this State.
Zone of the members in the Legis-
lature represented county in which
the public sentiment is no doubt in
favor of the saloon interests of this
state. | think it is fair to say that.
He realized that and hence he voted
against County Option. Personally
l believe he would like to see it be-
come law. He thought everything
was all right and he voted on every
subject as he felt for the best inter
ests of the state, and he made a
splendid member, one that we could
honor anywhere; but he went home
and asked for reelection. and what
do you suppose he found? Even after
he had voted against County Option?
Why, he found that the liquor inter-
ests in his district had united to de-
feat him. He told me he couldn't
it. I saw him just before
election He said he didn't see why
the brewers and saloon keepers of
the county should fight him because
he had voted upon that question as
they wanted him to. But I said,
you haven't heard of the new and
method. They are going to
nominate man from your district
that is'not only right upon that ques-
ton but whom they can trade off all
through the session on every ques-
tion.'
"That is the revised method. Dur
ing the last ten years the saloon in
terests have never elected majority
of the legislature. Hence they have
had to unite their representatives with
those elected by other interests in
order to win out.
Morris tribune., 1910-03-25

nine-tenths of the counties of the differ
ent states, and gentlemen, you will be
driven to it in the West. I say to you
here tonight, after thirty years s>experi-
ence and after three years contact with
your people in the great West, that all
that you people need is County Local
Option to sweep the netire West from
one end to the other.
"That right was given to Ohio, and
in the limit of three months, four-hfths
of the saloons were abolished It was
given to the people in old Indiana and
63 of her 80 counties fell in line within
the limit of three months. You may
get it in your great state, and I am
sure in that case that the majority of
your counties will fall in line within
the limit of single year.
"It is on this rock that this great
movement must be founded. Whenever
the temperance element in your. state
turns its back upon the great funda-
mental principle of County Option
| it means the ultimate death OF this
splendid movement in your state. You
can no more-and I say it because my
heart is in it-you can no more carry
this state for prohibition tonight than
YOU can fly. You must build upon the
! solid roc1r of County Option.

1ation. If that were true, the repub-
1ican party would have been long ago
wiped off the slate. because it was
through republican legislatures that
our present reasonably good laws
we're obtained 1t is because of that
legislation that liquor partisans have
been voting against the republican
party for many years. By catering to
the liquor interests which are hope
1essly opposed to their party, the al
legged leaders of the republican party
are simply playing traitor. From the
standpoint of practical politics, and
regardless of the question of right OF
wrong. they are making the fatal
mistake of disappointing their friends
and playing into the hands of their
enemies, without reward in votes
whatever the reward may be in
money.
Morris tribune., 1910-03-25

"The Republican party must meet
this and other great issues face to face
and declare its position on them. 1t
must take the organization of the party
out of the hands of hired representa-
tives of special interests. The dele
gates to the party to the next con-
vention must come down as free and
independent men; they must partici--
pate in the councils of the party and
assume that leadership which belongs
to the majority and not be longer led
around by the noses by dictatorial
and pestiferous subsidized minority
gathered together from the storm
centers of reaction.

EBERHART'S STAND
Governor Refuses To
Commit Himself on
County Option.

Governor Eberhart was given an
opportunity to state where he stood
on county option, but he lodged the
issue, and attempted to justify his
position of neutrality by claiming
that it was purely legislative ques-
ton and that he had no right to seem
to influence his party toward either
side of the controversy. but must
wait until after the republican plat
form had been adopted. This parti-
san attitude was in striking contrast
to the position taken by such republi-
can leaders as Young and Jacobson,
and did not at all satisfy the con-
vention.
Morris tribune., 1910-03-25

'But let the republican party
be rescued from the control of
the emissaries of reaction, let
it have new birth in its or
ganization and it will again in

pion of rational progress and
reform in the domain of tenn
perance legislation and in all
other lines where the rights of

Representative E. E. Lobeck, one
of the prohibition members of the
House, said in part:
There is one man who has been
roasted very hard here today because
of the eight to one proposition. I
shall not say anything against him
or about him only this. see the face
of a minister down here before me
today. He talked to me last winter
down in the Capitol Cafe. When we
were sitting there at that time the
lieutenant governor came in and this
minister said: Now you bet he shall
get it in the neck He approached
the lieutenant governor at once and
asked him why he appointed such a
temperance committee in the Senate.
What will become of the County Op-
ton bill if it comes into the Senate

appointed there?a WE'LL said MI.

they bought him before he was
elected.

"The party cannot assume
the contradictory position of
being for and against county

from the brewers, but it will
no longer satisfy temperance
people.
Morris tribune., 1910-03-25

"Ihe individual voices of protest
crying in the wilderness, have been
invited to unite here. The voice of
this convention will be of sufficient
volume to reach the uttermost parts
