very letter of his campaign pledge
Better than the "wet" individuals
who inspired the above comment
Gov. Hammond knew that his own
party vote was split on this question
as we'll as the Republican party, and
his failure to sign the County Option
bill would have spelled political obliv
ion. We believe that personally the
governor was glad of the opportunity
to settle the county option question
In this way. 1t takes no great proph
ct to foretell the impending doom OF
the liquor business of this country
Only those whose personal associa.
tons or financial interests are sewed
up with the liquor interests remain toe
shortsighted to see what is coming
The vote on the bill just passed did
not reflect fully the sentiment of the
people of the state, as we are con.
fident the returns Of the special cleo.
tons soon to be held will show. II
the prohibitory amendment is submit.
ted to people of Minnesota in 1916, we
believe it will pass.
The next great question will be en-.
forcement of the law, and we are con.
fldent that the attitude of Gov. Ham.
mond will be in no sense equivocal in
regard to that. That phase of the
question will be more in the line of
the executives duties, and a firm
stand for the enforcement of this as
we'll as other laws will make him enc
mics in some quarters but entrench
him solidly in the good opinion of the
greater body Of citizens.
While we don't think that Gov.
Hammond felt that he was signing his
political death-warrant when he sign
ed the county option bill, we do think
that he would have redeemed his
pledge even tho such had been the
case.

WHY NOT MINNEAPOLIS?

The time was ripe for forward
step in the suppression of the liquor
traffic. County option will be a long
step. It will mean that a large share
of the States area will very soon be-
come dry. 1t will probably mean the
early closing of the licensed booze
joints across the Red River from Far
go and Grand Forks that have brought
disgrace to Minnesota.-Minnea
Journal.
Very true! But it was not neces-
sary for the Journal to look across
the state to apply the probable good
effects of prohibition. What about
certain districts in Minneapolis, quite
as disgraceful to the state as any.
thing outside? With the help of coun.
ty option, giving the entire county OF
Hennepin the right to vote, and the
support of the Journal, is there any
reason why Minneapolis should not
clean out her licensed booze joints
which are preying upon the people OF
this and other states?

GOV. HAMMoND's POSITION.

There was an element of the dram
attic In the signing of the Option Bill
by Governor Hammond. In the opin
lon of many his signature was akin tc
the death knell of any hopes he may
entertain of second term as cover
nor.
This opinion has it's foundation in
that the Option issue split the Repub
hcan Party last fall and made the
election Of Mr.. Hammond possible
Had Option failed of passage this
session it would have been an issue
again next campaign, perhaps causing
an even wider split in Republican
ranks. Now that Option is law it is
out of the way as an issue and nothing
at present looms up of Importance
sufficient to cause such a split in the
Republican ranks as Option.
"Since the Option Bill passed the
House and Senate plenty of Excuses
have been offered to Governor Ham.
mond to veto the bill
1T has been suggested by those
anxious to defeat Option and by those
ANXIOUS to retain the split in the Re.
publican camp that the vote in the
Legislature was so close that it show.
ed no decided sentiment either for or
against Option. It has been pointed
out that several legislators in both
House and Senate, elected as Anti
Optionists, voted for Option and that
In reality the people indicated that
they did not want Option. And it is
presumed that the Governor was
aware of what removal of the split in
the Republican ranks meant political
ly.
"These things, apparently, did not
occasion the Governor to pause. The
moment the Option Bill reached his
Office he gave it to his executive clerk
to read over for clerical errors. II
proved error proof. Then he read II
him elf and signed it. He kept to the

repudiated his written and verba

repudiated his written and verbal
pledges and voted against the bill.
We can respect the honest oppon-
ent of county option, who made his
campaign on that issue and faithfully
carried out the will of his constitu-
ents; but what shall we think of the
man who repudiates his pledges, mis-
represents his district and casts his
ballot against measure that he was
pledged and elected to support!
After nearly four hours of oratory
for and against the bill, and when the
liquor men began to see that they
were defeated unless they could gain
time to bring pressure to bear on
some of the weaker ones that were
pledged to support the bill, very
desperate effort was made to take a
recess.
If anything could beat this bill this
would do it, but there we're several
opponents of the bill who refused to
lend themselves to such tactics, and
so all the attempts failed.
1t was noticeable, however, that
| Spooner, Erickson, Sawyer and Bak-
er voted with the vets to gain time.
On final passage Sawyer and Baker
stayed with the vets, but Spooner and
Erickson voted for the bill.
Why?-Perhaps Mr.. Spooner can
explain this course. He should be Civ
en- every possible opportunity to do
so. He will need it.
One vote was all that was needed,
and it looked very much as if Mr..
| Spooner was helping them to get it.
THE TELEPHONE BILL.
Tho the question Of County Option
overshadowed everything else during
the week, the Telephone Bill was TAX
en- up in the House on special order
Friday morning and passed without a
single opposing vote.
| This is great tribute to the men
who for many years past have per-
sistently fought the great Northwest
ern Telephone monopoly in the inter-
est of the people.
Among the first to urge the need of
this measure was J. T. Johnson of
Fergus Falls. Then it was taken up
by Frank H. Minette and N. J. Holm
berg, in the session of 1913 and pass
ed by an almost unanimous vote. We
toed by Governor Eberhart, it was
passed over his veto in the House,
with only thirteen members support
ing the Governor. This session Mr..
Burrows Of Breckenridge joined with
! Minette as sponsor for the bill, and
the opponents to the measure could
not find a single member to take their
side on the final vote.

Friend grounding seems to have
had the right dope this year. Coming
out Feb. End he snooped around, look.
ing for his shadow but was unable to
find it, and the result is the mildest
February on record.
In Minneapolis the mean tempera.
ture for the month was "a, one degree
warmer than it had been for % years.
It will be interesting to watch now
and see how the Lamb and Lion act
in March. The month was ushered in
with all the gentleness of lamb and
the question is will this prophesy
work out as did that of the ground
hog.

Morris Getting Chesty.
Following their victory over the
fast St. Joe team Of Minneapolis last
Wednesday evening, the Morris indie
pendents are claiming the basket ball
championship Of the state in indepen-
dent circles. Without attempting to
detract whit from the ability of the
Morris team, we are certain that there
at least two teams in this vicinity,
who can beat them, and decisively,
too. One is the Cosmos team of this
city, and the other is the Diedrich
Bros team Of Delano. Morris beat
the Cosmos team, 25-19 at Morris, and
then refused to come to this city for
a return game, after scheduling one
for Feb. 22nd.
The fact of the matter is, that the
Morris Independents have a very Sc
we're case of "cold feet" Practically all
of their games have been won on their
own floor, with their own referee, and
with their own "swinging basket" at
one end Of the floor. If their so called
championship, won as they have won
it, does them any good they are well
come to it.
One thing is certain, and that is
they don't dare venture away from
their "band box" to defend the "cham-
pionship."

was Buck Johnson's shooting a bas-

It was the first time such thing had
happened in local basket ball. Chris.

the entire evening so Mac was con
