NO BARAGA ROAD
County Board Lets FactionaIIsm Spoii
Opportunity TO Develop

Some time ago we mentioned the
fact that the copper country wanted
to help put through a road connecting
with the Iron county system at the
county line north OF Amasa and con
tinuing on by direct ioute to Chicago.
The copper country commercial ciuD
took the proposition up with vim
after they had been assured that Iron
county would meet Baraga at the
line.
The club sent a communication to
the Baraga board Of supervisors ask
ing that the opportunity be given for
a joint meeting some place in Baraga
county, il having been the intention of
the copper country fellows to charter
special train and take along a big
bunch OF boomers.
The Baraga board was heard from
last week and in a rather sarcastic
set of resolutions they refused the
offer of the copper country fellows
on the ground that roads should be
built for the farmers and not for
autoists.
The Baraga political situation is
one of extreme factions and one fac
tion which is not in the good graces
of the board just now happened to
declare for the road so the opposition
Immediately proceeded to take
stand on the opposite side.
In taking this position the Baraga
fellows are injuring themselves more
than others as Il Is immaterial to Iron
county whether the road is built or
not. In fact Iron county simply want
ed to be nclghborly in the matter for
II would have to take money that can
be spent to better advantage about
the thickly populated sections TO
build this stretch through the Wild
erness.
The copper country fellows are
royal lot OF fellows and in thwarting
them in their effort 10 get a road
through to the outside world the Bar
aga fellows lose the friendship of
lot of people whom we should be glad
to retain the friendship OF It is pos
sible for Houghton county TO build
road to Iron county entirely through
its own domaine and probably that is
what they will do.

THE LOCAL OPTION CAMPAIGN
~Drys" Claim This rs One oi Their
Certain Conquests in Campaign

Certain Conquests in Campaign
The people have not been wised up
very much on the wet and dry
campaign, The "wetsr have done
nothing TO date; have no organIza-
tion that we know Of and so no effort
has been made so far from that side
TO influence the voters The "drys'-
have been busy but in a quiet ana
effective way. Mr.. Brown, who has
charge of the campaign in this county,
is busy right along and reports arc
that he is making considerable pro-
gress
Iron county is but one OF liz IN
which contests are being waged this
year, 10 of the 16 now being wet"
counties and of them "dry" counties
in which the question will be forced
by the VETS"
Grant Hudson. the superintendent
Of the Anu-saloon League, Is very
optimistic due to poll Of the
counties made by school districts.
AS sample OF how the drys look
upon Iron county state press dis
patch says that conceding one-half
the doubtful vote to the vets the
poll shows S95 majority for the
"drys"
In the twelve wet" counties where
the question will be voted upon, thelo
are 400 saloons and three breweries.
In the four dry" counties there were
in the last license year. IT'S saloons
and one brewery The 12 "wet" coun-
ties and the number of saloons In
each are:
Iron GO; Alger 10; Chippewa 40:
Emmett 16; Grand Traverse 90; Ma
son "a; Berrien 67; Kalamazoo AZ;
Calhoun 3S; Lapeer 20; Tuscola 30;
Oakland 35. The four dry counties
are Eaton, Genesee. Lenawee ana

statement is that II the "drys" win I'm

for the channels of legitimate trade,

Hudson says further:
"At the beginning of the year the
Anti-saloon league brought from

men OF nationwide experience I'm or
ganizing dry" campaigns. They
have since been giving their entire
time assisting the local managers in
the 16 counties
I'm addition there will be shown at

OF the 16 counties, films illustrating

campaign in the 16 counties is the
OF newspapers that are sup
porting the dry" side OF the ques-
ton"
Never in the history OF the local
option movement has the work OF
for the election been ham

which It Is being handled this year.

Aim AZ Pcrnlanency

Mr.. Brown made II emphatic that
the purpose of this corporation is
not merely to wage a campaign
against liquor in Iron county this
spring. I'VE aim to make this asso-
citation a permanent agent for the en-
forcement OF the laws In this county,
said Mr. Brown. One OF the reasons
why many have held aloof from the
dry" movement Is the feeling that
should the saloon be voted out IL
would mean the voting In OF the blind
pig and of the road houses In Florence
and Dickinson county. While the local
corporation can exert little influence
in Wisconsin ii can do much towards
bringing Michigan territory outside
OF Iron county under lawful sway
and II can. II It gets at the matter in a
determined fashion, prevent blind
piggery and evasion OF the laws in
this county
If the association Is not successful
in making Iron county dry this time
II will be the nucleus for a campaign
i'm two years and during the mean
time II will try to enforce the liquor
laws In this county.
BY means OF this incorporation the
individual escapes the knocks that
are often made against those who
take a stand in matters of public well
fare, especially in antagonism to the
liquor traffic and to vice Instead of
pointing out Mr.. so-and-So as the
"agitator" the opposition must point
to this corporation and. as corpora
tions have no soul. no sentiment and
no sense Of feeling. II can't be affect
ed by what IL said about It.

tion organized under the laws OF the

Rev. Baxter Brown who has the
management of the campaign In this
county stated to reporter for The
Diamond Drill yesterday that all Of
the acts necessary IN the incorpora-
tion OF the association have not been
completed and further than the IN
formation given above he was not
able to so at the present time. -ts
He Informed us that about 300 per-
sons have voluntarily signided their
intention Of Joining the association by
mailing to the treasurer their appli-
cation for membership with the fee
required for dues To join the as
sociation requires more than the
mere adding of ones name to the roll;
It means becoming member OF a cor
poration with a special, definite work
to perform.
