COUNTY OPTION LISTS
ARE Being SIGNED
Reasons Why An Early E|ec'
tion On This Issue Is
Desirable.

So far there have been q cOun-
ty option petitions sent in with 459
signatures attached to same. Word
has also been received from various
parts of the county that petitions are
being circulated. There will be an op-
po.tunity for Willmar voters to sign
these petitions at the city mass con-
vention Friday night.
In some localities the question has
been raised as to the necessity for
special election, and if it would not be
a needless expense to the county.
While the reasons for an early vote
have been pretty we'll discussed in
our columns before, we will restate
them so that there need be no misap-
prehension on the part Of those who
are in favor of continuing and forti-
flying our county as dry territory.
First, the county option law requires
a special election. The question can
not be submitted at a general election,
but must be voted on at an election
called for that purpose only. Moth
ing can therefore be saved by wait
ing. as far as election expenses are
concerned, if the law is to be of any
benefit in the county at all.
Secondly, there is nothing to pre-
vent wholesale liquor depots being op-
ened in any township where there
has been no formal vote taken against
license, and with the increasing des-
peration of the liquor people, we have
no guarantee that such places will not
be put in. The experience in Harri-
son is case in point. Were it not
for an old vote taken there many years
ago there would have been no means
to rid the community of the nuisance
last year.
Thirdly, the result in the Township
of Harrison, has actually made poT-
ton of our county wet, at least on
the face of the returns. We are told
that no less than four breweries are
figuring on wholesale depots in Harri-
son, even with the short lease of life
which county option promises. AS the
limits of the township include the
beautiful summer resort of Diamond
Lake, and extend to the shores OF
Green Lake and within a mile of At
water, the prospect is wet enough to
call for early action.
Fourthly, the voting Of prohibition
in the whole county will settle the
question for all time to come: This
will do away with the possibility OF
further local fights on the question in
our city or the villages and townships
of the county 1t is a consummation
which our people have devoutly wish.
ed for for many years, and now that
the privilege is ours, let us use 1t
Why should our county lag behind in
a movement in which it has played sc
conspicuous part, especially when II
comes to securing the fruits OF vic
tory?
Let some one qualified to receive
acknowledgements circulate petl
tion at every social gathering in the
county. Don't allow the foolish talk
of "needlesss expense deter you IRON
doing this work in good cause.
