and with population increasing at the rate
of $4,000 per annum, is great asset to the
liberal element in the state, and will enable
this element to gain safe majorities in future
legislatures and cause the licensing and sale
of liquor in localities where public sentiment
demands such sale or license.
In the last session, after our enemies had
been beaten in the lower house, on the ques-
ton of county option, you will all remember
that an amendment was proposed excepting
Cook county from the operation of the pro-
posed act, but the members elected by the lib
eral element of Cook county stood firmly by
their down-state brethren, Notwithstanding
the fact that it makes very little difference
to Cook county whether the act be made to
apply to Cook county or not, because there is
always safe liberal majority in Cook coun-
ty. These facts demonstrate beyond the
question of doubt what the policy of the
liberal element in Illinois should be in it's
relation to measures asked by Chicago or
Cook county from the state legislature.

The following excerpts from the report of Pr
INT Fecker to the State Brewers Association, m
January 8, 1913, and published in the Champion
air Play on January II, furnishes proof that
luor interests themselves do not consider the z
,sed county option bill as in any way affecting c.
unty. We direct special attention to that part

unity members of the legislature for defeating cou
'tion, and in which he emphasizes the fact that 81

The anti-saloon fight has been waged in
Illinois during ten years last past. In 1903
the lower house at Springfield passed, by
large majority the so-called local option bill,
including county, city, town, precinct and
residence district option; the bill went to the
senate in time to have its third reading be-
fore final adjournment, and would have pass
ed the senate but for the action of few
senator's, who caused hasty adjournment of
that body on the day on which the bill
to come up for its first reading (the house
and senate having, by joint resolution de-
termined upon the day of final adjournment),
the bill failed of passage because there was
not time to have three readings on separate
days before the adjournment of the session.
In 1905 the same bill, with referendum
clause attached, passed the senate by an al
most unanimous vote, and with the refer
endum clause attached, was sent over to the
house, which latter body, by majority of
one, voted to strike out the county feature of
the bill. The Anti-Saloon League at that
time took the position that unless the bill
could be passed as written they did not want
any bill at all, but would go before the peo-
pie with their contention on the election of
new legislature.
In this connection it may be we'll to show
in a general way the relations between Cook
county and the state at large, regarding the
liberal question. In round figures the state

third of which are located in Cook county
and 100000 Cor two-thirds) in the state out
