Editorial Comment
Designs on Grange.
belfast Republican Journal.)

1Belfast Republican, Journal
A despatch from Augusta outlines a
plan, evidently emanating from the
fertile brain of Pattangall. by which it
is hoped to rope the Grange into fur
thering the rum interest. The plan in
brief is this: Although the State
Grange did not adopt resolution de-
claring for the recall of delinquent or
ficials it is said that a majority of the
patrons favor the enactment of some
such law, and
1T is suggested that the friends of
the recall who do not care particularly
whether there is any liquor legislation
or not, and the friends of the proposed
plan of prohibition who do not care
whether there is any recall law or not,
will each have something TO trade
with"
Slick, isn't it? Pattangall modestly
disclaims originating this or any other
particular plan for fooling the people
but as he is generally credited with
being the brains of the present admin
istration he will have to bear the re-
sponsibility for this and other schemes
for handing the State over to the
liquor dealers and brewers.
