CURRENTCOMMENT
Local Option.

The eighth plank of the Republican platform
reads follows:
I'VE demand compliance with the plain
requirements of the constitution by the en-
actment of a uniform local option law with
the county the governing unit"
This is plain and unequivocaI 1t is the con-
trolling issue in this whole campaign.
Against the county unit law the Democratic
opponents Of Governor McCreary and Governor
Berkham fought for..weeks In effort. to COM
NIT the Democratic party to free trade in IL
Quor.
They were beaten. Then they turned their
attention TO the Republican party. hoping to
make such terms with Judge O'Rear and the
Republican managers would enable them,
for two years longer. to prevent the enactment
Of the county unit law.
Judge ORear challenged them at the incep-
ton Of his campaign. repeating in every speech
his demand for the enactment Of the law In
the face of the opposition OF the lobby.
His purpose is embodied in this declaration,
and IL he is elected Governor of Kentucky, the
legislature. whether it he Democratic Re-
publican, will, no doubt give force and effect
to the work 10 the constitution and to the
promises OF both parties.
This triumph will be important in itself I'm
portant in the effect that Will flow from the law
but chiefly important In the fact that 1t frees
both parties from the influence OF the beer
trust and the whiskey ring, and their money
and their professional political managers
We are to have the county unit law before
the next legislature adjourns. or we are to have
a contest for an amendment to the constitution
