option plank. E. r. Shaw, of Grand
Rapids, waged a bitter fight on It and
carried the question to the floor Of
the convention, where the minority
report was adopted by an overwhelm-
Ing vote.
Local option works a harm In
Michigan as well as IN other states. .
declared Mr.. Shaw. 1T makes people
think there Is no need OF a political
party to do away with the liquor
question. The State Liquor Dealers
association was responsible for the
local option legislation and we, as
Prohibitionistsfi have been following
q false God all this time. Local op-
ton has done far more than all else
% bring confusion into the nation
wide movement against the liquor
trafIic, as its tendency Is to class the
trafic ~ q business rather than a
crime.
"If local option were right in prin.
ciple. has Il accomplished good, or Is
II even q step In the right direction?
II every saloon was voted out OF ex,
istence under local option laws. the
liquor trafic would readily adjust Il
self 10 new conditions and prosper
under the federal license law. would
far rather vote for license than local
option"
