The three big counties voting on
the local option question last spring,
Calhoun, Jackson, Genesee, could
have held from wet to dry by change
OF only "a votes. The total wet ma
jority OF the three counties combined
was only IA. The maj rity against
local option In Calhoun was 81 the
wet majority ia Genesee 8, and ia
Jackson 33. Every wet vote that
could be bought or bribed and held in
the boarding houses and Sums and
resorts Of Jackson, Battle Creek and
Flint, were brought there and held
there in order TO increase the wet to-
tai. And yet there were far more
than enough dry votes In these coun-
ties TO have carried all three Of them
il only the full dry vote had been reg
istered in the ballnt box The valuable
lesson OF last springs close vote ia
these three big counties is this: The
brewers and saiOO IS can be counted
on TO yet every vote cast and counted
that can be through any sort OF means
said to belong to them. No matter
how quiet the local option campaign
in any county may seem TO be the sa-
looms aud brewery association are do
Ing their work. 1t remains foe thr
friends OF local option to benefit by
this knowledge and by last springs
experience through getting out every
vote that belongs TO them. Local op-
tion will win If this Is done. 1t car
only lose through permitting the sa'
lo1ns and the Brewery Association 10
do better work in getting out theil
vote than is done by opponents of the
liquor traffic in doing their part. A
change Of "a votes wonld have won fol
local option last spriug in the three
big counties of Calhoun, Jackson and
Genesee. A little more hard work
would have won Ia these counties and
a little harder work will win la the
counties TO vote OH the local option
question on the first day Of the com
ing month.

Blind Pigs In Saloon Territory.

There are more than fifteen hundred
licensed saloons In the city Of Detroit,
1882 when last reported. More saloons
to the acre and IT, the number OF peu-
pie than were ever before in that city
or any other section of Michigan. Yet
today there are more "blind pigs" 10
Detroit, more places where liquor Is
being sold secretly and illegally than
the combined number of blind pigs in
all other counties OF Michigan. The
possession OF saloons does not prevent
blind pigs. 1t creates them. A com
mites OF DetrUit salOonkrepers recent
y called On commissioner CrOul TO
ask him TO do something extraordin-
ary through the police department to
lessen the number OF unlicensed llq-
uor selling places. They declared To
Commissioner Croul that there were
so many blind pigs running in opposi-
tion To their business in Detroit that
their trade IL being ruined. Commen-
ting ON this action on the part of the
saloonkeepers and on the situation
they told Of TO Commissioners Croul.
the Detroit Journal edtO-ially said:
"The police, the saloonkeeper and the
courts will now unite TO crush the
blind pigs and the law breaking bar
rooms. Thus the blind pig seems to
have accomplished what all other eff
forts combined could not accomplish.
They have brought ruin face to face
with the svloonkeepers OF Detroit and
and have caused them co pathetically
appeal 10 the police headquarters for
protection. That Is all right as far as
it goes. But what becomes OF the
claim OF the Michigan Brewery Asso-
citation that the regulated sale of
liquor will prevent the existence OF
blind pigs. Think OF it. 1852 saloons
in Detroit and so many blind pigs
surrounding them, by the side OF them
and between them, that the saloon
keepers say their business will be
ruined unless the police department
CAN help them out? And then think
Of the Brewery Association claim that
the regulated" sale of liquor will
prevent the existence of "blind pigs. ;

TAFT AND DEFEAT.

Broken on the wheel of one mans
ambition, the Republican party goes
to the country with the weakest can
dica;c that it has ever offered to the
American people for the presidency
with the white flag OF defeat flying
q. half mast, the party which the great
war swept into almost half century
Of uninterrupted control goes down
wrecked on the shoal OF internal dis
sensions and with It's timbers rent by
tSor leadership and unpopular poll
cics. The regular Republicans deter
mined to die by their gins: they would
rot desert tho organization, nor would
they in the face OF n rapidly widening
ohasm IN the party desert their titular
head. They realized that they stood
at waterloo and not at Armageddon.
Hoping for resurrection upon some
brighter day, they nevertheless named
for their standard bearor in the com
Ing campaign one whose record, whose
personality, whose policies and whose
platform attract defeat to him as the
magnet draws the needle. He cannot
command the waves OF progressive
ism to rccedc. and they who calmly
chose him know that he cannot.
The old Republican party. whose
swan song floated upon the air last
night. was the creature of the inter-
ests. II dccayed because of the cor
ruption OF degeneracy which always
accompany long leases OF position ana
