warning cards and established a guard.

GENERAL REVIEW
OF PROCTOR Law
In Three Months, Its Bene'
fits Have Become Appar-
ent-Law Violators.

indianapolis, May 2O-Three months
have passed since the Proctor regula-
tive bill was passed and the city and
township unit local option law took the
place of the county local option law
in Indiana. In that time elections
have been held in 1913 units under or
ders issued by boards of county COM
missioners at their February, March
and April sessions, and analyses of the
results of these elections show the
"drys" have lost much ground in the
cities that they held under the county
option law The "drys" moreover have
gained in another way, as the Proctor
regulative law has put many law viola
tors out of the saloon business. The
number of liquor sellers in Indianapo-
lis alone to whom licenses have been
denied is nearly thirty.
The new laws. therefore, work both
ways. The city and township unit law
has opened former dry" cities to H.
censed saloons. a gain for the liquor
forces, even though the number of sa-
looms is small. The Proctor regulative
act has raised the standard of saloon
keepers by depriving law violators Of
licenses. This is benefit to the
"drys," as one of their objections to
liquor selling has been that men who
care nothing for the laws have been
permitted to engage in the business.
All the 1913 units in which elections
have taken place were dry" by county
option law vote two years ago or by
remonstrance. One election-Laurel
township. Whitley county-resulted in
a tie. OF the others the "wets" car
ried fifty, all losses for the "drys" be-
cause the units were dry before the
elections. The "drys" retained 142 of
the 1913 units, but most of the units
that voted dry" are rural communi-
ties, whose vote made counties dry"
under the old law.
The "wets" made their gains mainly
in the cities, but they also carried a
few township units. Thirty-nine cities
have voted. OF these the "wets" car
ried twenty-six and the "drys" thir-
teen. The wet majorities in the twen-
ty-six cities totaled 4,S43, and the to-
tai dry" majorities in the thirteen
dry" cities aggregated 1909. The pop
ulation in the cities that voted wet" is
POI, 1893. and in the cities that voted
dry" 65,O54. In three cities which
gave wet" majorities on the face of
the returns the county commissioners
refused to sanction the granting of
liquor licenses and virtually declared
the cities dry" on the ground of
fraud or error. The cities were Mar
ion, Kokomo and Union City. The
Marion case, however, on an appeal to
the circuit court, was won by the
"wets" and that city will have saloons.
Cities Voted Wet.
The cities that were carried by the
"wets," with their majorities and pop
ulation, are here given:

ATTACK MADE ON
STATEHOOD BILL
Republicans Pull for One
Policy and Democrats
for Another One.

Washington, May 2O.-Renewed at
tacks upon the recall provision of the
Arizona constitution from the Republi-
can side and Democratic criticism of
the unamendable feature of the New
Mexican constitution held the atten-
ton of the house throughout Fridays
consideration of the statehood resolu-
ton.
Representative Bocher of Missouri,
Democrat, declared that New Mexico
was virtually controlled by the rail-
roads and large interests, and that
the present form of the constitution is
such as to preclude the possibility of
its being easily changed when it once
becomes the organic law of the state.
He urged letting Arizona have the re-
call for judges.
Replying to Mr. Kahn of California,
time when the American people would
have signed recall petition for Wash
ington or Lincoln. Representative
Pickett criticised the principle of the
recall as applied to judges. Following
him Representative Cornell of New
York. Democrat, approved the pending
resolution, declaring it was the only
fair way to treat the two territories.
While the Republicans favor the i'm
mediate approval of the New Mexican
constitution, the Democrats favor sub
hitting both constitutions to the peo-
pie for further examination and popu-
lar vote on the disputed sections. Mr..
Cornell said politics had much to do
with the statehood situation, as the
Republicans hoped Republican sena-
tors would be sent from New Mexico.
while they feared Democratic senators
would come from Arizona. Mr.. Con-
nell personally opposed the recall of
the privilege of deciding for itself.
Mr.. Adamson, of Georgia, advocated
the adoption of the resolution as a
compromise that ought to be accepted
without regard to politics.
Mr. HUMPHREYS of Mississippi, de-
clared the Republican party had con-
sistently kept New Mexico out of the
union, although it was entitled to
statehood. Republicans charged that
the Democrats were now trying to de-
lay admission of the territory by fore
ing it to vote on proposed changes in
its constitution before that constitu-
ton was approved by congress.
Former Speaker Cannon said the
Democrats had an opportunity to ad-
nit New Mexico when they were in
power. but failed. Mr.. HUMPHREYS re-
torted that the Democratic party did
not seek to delay statehood nor to
force undesirable features into the
New Mexico constitution, but wanted
to give the people an opportunity to
vote again separately on the method
by which they could amend their con-
stitution in the future.

Der of saloons that might be licensed

from 500 to 1000 population to each

In the cities and towns that have
