give the snap of his finger for the stock of the
brewery in which he interested. In Chicago the

primary in 1910, and this due to the fact that the
Anti-Saloon League instituted and prosecuted with

convention was held The Republican party split
in twain and in August the Progressive party came
into being, with its nomination of state ticket, and
its possible nomination of candidates for the legis-
lature.
The Anti-Saloon League is omni-partisan. 1t
bitches its fortune particular party, but
mends and supports of all parties who stand right

always support all who right, for the reason
that to do SO would mean defeat The League is in
the field to make practical fight, and to win. If in
given senatorial district there four dry candidates
and one wet one it would be the part of political
idiocy for the League support all four dry men, and
thus encourage division of the vote the local

League to concentrate its support upon who
is right and who has the best chance of That

to be its policy. The Anti-Saoon League will not tie

The Danger.
The great danger in the situation for the temper
forces is in the division of the vote. Under the
minority representation system in Illinois, if the
spectacle element is divided among field of cand-
dates and the disreputable element is united upon
two, though the reputable element may be in
the majority, it has little chance of success. The

with might and main to concentrate the local option

preceding century. but these were in
no sense newspapers.
The first daily" WAS called The
Daily Courant, and was published by
E. Mallet, against the Ditch at Fleet

was only a single sheet of two col

eign news with the name of the for

So keen was the publisher to steer
clear of any responsibility for his
news, and to hide himself and his
views In the background, that he says
in his first issue In so many words he
will make no comments of his own,
"supposing other people to have sense
enough to make reflections for them
selves"
The Daily Courant, which lasted
until 1875, may be said to be the first

modern sense. Yet the Romans had
