SIGNIFICANT POLITICS.
Dir SIraus Makes Ringing Declaration
Oh lh- TEMPERANCE Question.

Hon. Isaac Lobe Straus, candidate
for the long term IN the United States
Senate, has injected the temperance
issue into Democratic politics by hi.
reply ia the Anti-Saioon League
questions.
Mr. Straus does not come out for
prohibition or against the saloon. In
fact be expressly says that sentiment
is not ripe for prohibition. But he
declares unequivocally for the simple,
fundamental right Of the people to
govern and protect themselves on the
liquor question the same as anything
else. He warns the liquor men, how
ever. by saying that if the right to
vote locally is denied the people. they
will force prohibition forward as an
imminent issue.
To the five questions that were
also asked Of Hons. John Walter
Smith j. Fred C. Talbot and Blair
Lee. the present recognized candi-
dates. Mr.. Straus is the only one who
has replied to date His reply, which
is quite full, is, in brief:
i. That the people Of the State
shonld be protected in the enforce
ment Of their valid police laws and
that he favors the Kenyon-Sheppard
bin or any similar interstate liquor
shipment bill.
2. That the people Of Maryland
have tht right to vote on the liquor
ques ton free from complication with
any other issue whatsoever.
3. That he favors the passage of a
general law providing for the exer-
else Of such right.
1. That legislators who claim to
be in favor Of local option should
yield something in matters of detail
to the majority of those who stand
for such legislation in order to get
some bill passed.
5. That it is the duty and the part
of wisdom for the Democratic party
20 let the people DECIDE this question,
conveying very clearly the idea that
i . foolish as well as wrong for tbs
Democratic organization to expose
the party to defeat and disruption in
order t. protect the special interests
"a tHD t1f0Ol
With reference to this reply Super
intendent Anderson, of the Anti-Sa-
loon League, says:
Mr.. Straus' letter has changed the
political map over night. 1t is the
first time that any big Democrat who
is active in politics has taken an un-
equivocal stand on the temperance is
sue. Since the liquor interests with
their usual stupidity will oppose Mr..
Stiaus because of this declaration,
the temperance question is certain to
be the main issue in Maryland poll
tics this year, and the candidates
who do not take a similar position
will be understood to be bidding for
the liquor vote.
The only way the Democratic
party can avoid a split is to get right
on this question and since che Pro-
gressive party cannot allow a pro-
gressive Democrat to beat it in pro-
and since the Republi-
cans cannot afford to be left out in
the cold. the chances are that the
of all parties will try to
save trouble, and delay state prohibis
ton by declaring for the passage of
the local option BILL"

operations.
The food Inspector, under the terms
of the new ordinance, must be Il

little consequence but the facts are,
