by the campaign committee at its
first meeting, so that the work is now
well under way. Every thing. will be
done to secure an early determination
of the question in which the whole
community is vitally interested at this
time. From time to time, as the
campaign progresses, The Banner will
present reasons why it believes that
Mt. Vernon is better off in a business
way without saloons. It is the con.
servative class Of people Of Mt. Yer.
non who, after all, must determine
this problem, and it Is to that class
that The Banner expects to address
itself later on.

establishment of saloons in Mt. Yer
non, with all the evils that come in
their wake and the disadvantages in
q business and manufacturing way,
they are not going to invite their pres
ence. Conditions have been too good
for six years without saloons to again
establish them as institutions of the
community. Mt. Vernon does not
want to take backward step on this
saloon question, but the known ma
jority against them must be empha-
sized at the ballot box. The Banner
has full confidence that majority Of
the voters of Mt Vernon will not ex-
tend an invitation to the saloons to
come back.

Jud Vincent, foxy old Ringster that
he is, was never more foxy than when
he got on the Republican state ex-

Cromley must be consulted and will
be supposed to have some influence
with the governor and heads of de-
partments who have patronage at
their disposal. Jud isn't going around
Mt. Vernon asking for local recon-
mendations for his appointment to an
Office. He doesn't need to. The other
candidates for Office must see him for
a recommendation, and they'll get it
not. After Jud has landed q place fol-
himself, then it will be time to talk
about anybody else being rewarded
Jud has not even taken the public into
his confidence as to the job he expects
to pull down. The latest information
is that he wants to be state oil in

not be true. Ask Jud or Grant Dowds
