scare, any of these ducks can reach max

loon engaged in the cry of vote Q
on every proposition on the referend-
ed ballot, thereby hoping to Kill the
county option measure. They sue
ceeded, and also succeeded in putting
the finishing touches upon nearly
every measure referred to the voters.
While the present measures In the
legislature may not have been brought
forward as a Punishment for the sa-
loon men and their friends, the legis-
lators no doubt are not as friendly to
the liquor interests as they would
possibly have been had the vote no"
slogan been less loudly exploited.
When the liquor interests mix in pol

learn that the voters will find some
means OF striking back, and it Is SO in
this case.
