WEDNESDAY, MARCH s, 1916.
THE RESULT YESTERDAY.

The people of Vermont have spoken
They are emphatically in favor of
local option as opposed to statewide
prohibition
They believe in home rule for the
individual communities. They believe
that the present local option law has
made the state cleaner than ever be-
fore. They believe that the annual agi-
tation on the question of banishing the
saloons from each town and city once
a year is a valuable temperance les
son. They believe in temperance, AMI
they believe in gaining it through the
use of the local option law.
The state as a whole, which gave a
majority of only 1881 for local option
in 1908, yesterday stamped its seal of
approval on that form of control of
the liquor traffic by majority of 49,
600. Orleans was the only county in
the state that gave a majority for the
Perry measure. Windham county.
which turned down local option by 1914
votes in 1903, yesterday voted against
statewide prohibition by a majority of
1872.
1 The change of sentiment, brought
about by 10 years of observation of
the workings of the local option law,
is one of the most amazing results in
the history of Vermont.
The most gratifying feature of the
whole situation is that the people
could swat statewide prohibition with
one hand, and give the open saloons
a solar plexus blow with the other
hand.
Was there ever better illustration
of the fact that the common-sense of
the common people is a pretty good
thing to rely on? There certainly never
was better one here in our home
community. Whatever their previous
convictions or prejudices about the
control of the liquor evil, the people
Of all our Windham county towns have
found out since 1903 that local-op-
ton law honestly enforced, with pub
lie sentiment back of it, ''delivers the
goods. y And once convinced of this,
no fervid oratory, or emotional appeals
or whirlwind campaigning, or preach
ments Of any kind, could carry the
thinking majority off its feet. Let $
all stick pin here.
On the question of direct primary
the majority was 1878, margin suffi-
Gent to show that the people wish to
try the system of direct nominations
which prevails in nearly all of the
states of the Union.

LOOKING FORWARD.

Two words of soberness and sincerity
are to be said about the result of the
vote on the hquor-Iaw referendum.
First-all pleasantries aside-there is
no occasion for exultation as of vic
tors over vanquished, because both
sides have been working in different
ways for common end - the best
good of a state which commands and
deserves our loyal devotion.
Second = the real cause for reioic-
perhaps here in Windham county
most of all-is that the result of YES
terday s voting shows that we are
sound at heart on the real issue-clean
communities and obedience to law. Not
all of us believe in prohibition as a
panacea for the liquor evil, but we say
No by a majority that means business
when it comes to the question of open
saloons.
And so let US keep on unitedly with
the good work. In future let us take
nothing for granted, but make sure that
our vote next year, and every other
year, is as Enthusiastically for clean
towns as it has been this year.

Early yesterday afternoon c. G.
fltts was shown the result Of the vote
on the Perry bill in eight small Wind

ou' against to 241 favorable. Mr..
f1tts at once diagnosed these figures
as an indication that the measure in
which he had taken such an interest
was doomed. And he was right.
The work of the local optionists is
only half done. The referendum
provided that if the Perry law was re-
Jected 1t would go into effect in 1927.
In view of the overwhelming vote
against the measure it will be up 70
the next legislature to wipe every
vestige of the Perry measure from our
statutes. The local optionists must
see that men are elected who will do
this.

REFERENDUM OBSERVATIONS

Perry, gave his bill a majority of
two.

One of the great services Joffre has

But the point is this. There are
many Petains in the French army and
probably more in the German army.
The Petains are the product of a sys-

There was nothing like that in .Jof

so far has proven this a libel. The
