The Chance For County Option
NOVEMBER Is, 1912
NUMBER 46


the county option representation in the house from
Cook county to fifteen, whereas there but six in
the last session. and the representation from the
try to sixtythree, whereas there but fty-seven
in the last general assembly. The majority for county
option in both branches would have been far greater
than this if it had not been for the peculiar of
the struggle just past and the division of the local
option forces in number of districts where the con-
test had been practically settled at the primary. This
is particularly noticeable with respect to the senate
The intervention of the party produced stua-
ton in the election in districts where there were
two drys opposed by one wet This meant division
among the temperance element and gave the liquor
candidate tremendous advantage and resulted in
the defeat of the county option men. If it had not
been for this doubtless two-hrds of the would
have been in favor of county option and it had
been for like division with respect to members of
the house of representatives in all probability there
would have been at least eighty county option
bers in the house.
We Ask Fair Chance On Floor of House and Senate.
Sum the matter up-the situation is full of hope.
1t is not situation that be viewed with
pacency confidence by the local option forces 1t
means that they must work if they are to win their
fight, and it that the local option bill must
have fair chance and fair hearing on the floor of
both the house and the senate, and that is what
by saying that much depends the organiza-
ton of the house and the senate

1t is apparent to everyone that the governor is
strong element in the present situation. Governor

VII

We have just fought the hardest battle in the his
tory of the Anti-Saoon League of Illinois, We have
gone through the longest, most strenuous and most
thorough campaign the Illinois League conducted.
Every friend of the of temperance in the state
of Illinois is interested this time to know just what
the situation is and just what the chances are for
county option and the other temperance legislation
The success Of county option in the next general
assembly, which convenes the first week in January
depends on three things: First, on the of in
terest displayed by the friends of the local option
cause; second the manner in which the house and
senate are organized and third the attitude of the
governor
Closest Situation On County Option That Ever
Existed in Legislature.
The situation warrants strong hopes for the pas
sage of county option bill. We give the figures and
let them speak for themselves. There are seventy
eight members of the house of representatives the
election returns now come to us, who have declared
that they will vote for county option bill. There
in the senate twenty-eight members who have de-
cared for county option, with at least three more
whose attitude is in doubt This is perhaps the
closest situation the local option question that has
ever existed in any general assembly 1t explains
what is meant by the statement that the outcome de-
ponds three things-the interest of the local option
forces in the coming general assembly, the organza
ton of the general assembly in both branches, and
the attitude of the governor.
