Governors and Booze.

A hazy and confused idea as to the
powers of governors in North Dakota
seems to exist. There are some who
profess to really believe that by nomi-
mating and electing j. 81. Wishek gov
ernor they oan bring about the sale of
liquor. The friends of Mr.. Wishek
are using the argument in localities
vhero they believe the resubmission
sentiment is strong, or where they
think the people are SO ignorant or so
gullible they will swallow such state
ments.
AS a matter of fact the governor has
nothing to do with enactinQ North Da-
kota's laws. The legislature, not the
governor, does that. The governor
must enforce the laws as he finds them
on the statutes. He can no more per-
NIT the sale of liquor than he can ig-
more the enforcement of the existing
prohibition laws. He has no discre-
ton.
The governor of this state, no mat.
ter who he is, cannot bring about the
sale of liquor.
