The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1911-06-22
THE COMING ELECTION.

The time for the casting of the bal
lot For Sale" or Against Sale" OF
intoxicating liquors is near at hand,
and before another week rolls around
the result will be matter Of history
The people Of the city and county
have had ample time in which to
think the matter over. They have had
experience under the license plan,
and also under the so-called prohibi.
tive plan. and by this time have their
minds made up as to which they pre-
fer, so that practically all that re-
mains is the formality of casting the
ballot, aud counting them up.
We are glad to note the apparent
good feeling that has prevailed, and
are glad that the old strife of a few
years ago has passed away. so that
men and women can think and vote
as they please on this question, and
still maintain their good name and
self respect in the eyes of the enthu.
siast on either side. We are glad to
feel that which ever side wins the
victor will have the assurance, judg-
ing from what is cleaned from time
to time, that he is looked upon as
honest in his convictions, and that
from the fact that he is on the side
of the majority is justly entitled to
have his ideas enacted into law.
There are, as is now conceded, two
sides to the question, and up to date
the Republican has tried to present
both sides, without Partially to Ell.
ther. II is now up to the people 1t
is your concern, and will be decided
by your ballot.
o II has been said that last fall the
:. people voted 1t out of the hands oil
O the Democratic party, and turned II
@ over to the Republicans, where it now
d is for settlement" If this be true We
congratulate the people on their goot
Judgment. and say to them to ge
IN busy and see that their desires pre-
y. vail at the coming election. We wer
n. of the impression however, that tn
n people voted the question out of tn
w with themselves. where it justly be
Ia longs. One party said you must hav
" state wide prohibition" whether 20
m want it or not, while the other sal
n. let the people say what they want q
the ballot box" The latter was al
proved at the polls and the matter !
OF now in the hands of the people.
of Personally we do not believe in prC
he hibition as it is generally interpreted
h. We are satisfied that it has chalke
I'd TO its credit a great many failures, a
e. due to the fact that the sentiment an
II. determination of the people have nc
d. been behind it, Neither do we believ
ne in the saloon as it has been general
re interpreted and operated. With u
nd it is not a question of prohibition G
he otherwise, it is question as to wha
be is best for Logan City, and the othe
lid cities in this valley. The question the
Is. have we advanced or retrograde
under the new condition? DO we wal
Nv TO go back to the old condition? Thes
or. questions will be answered by yot
he ballots. 1t is our opinion that the SCI
ct. tlment that we have advanced pr
m. walls, and that we do not want to r
is turn to old conditions. 1t is possib
,st that there may be better ways
Sc. handling the matter, but they hay
ur not been forthcoming. The people wi
Mt then be careful about voting
tn change a condition that to them a
I'm Bears better than the old condition
of and hence will vote Against Sale
OF Logan City above all the cities
elf the state should have the sale of
cut toxcating liquors reduced TO the 10
est possible minimum Logan is c,
