The Referendum Election on
Prohibition Laws

WI. GullOI. LII luc dppTOdCU-
ing election on November Z, our
people are forrthe first time to
test out the working of the state
referendum, The test will be
made on two most wholesome
and wise statutes passed by our
last legislature. | refer to the
two prohibition laws known as
the quart law and the anti, adver-
Using liquor law. There will be
voted on at the same time the
fish and game law, but this is in
no way connected with the two
prohibition laws. 1t just hap
pens that the propositions are to
be voted on at the same election;
however, they are entirely indie
pendent, there is absolutely no
connection between them.
Our last legislature passed the
statute known as the quart law,
which prohibits the receiving,
owning or having in ones pos
session more than a quart of
whiskey or intoxicating liquor at
one time, and prohibits the de-
livery of more than a quart of
such liquor by the express COM
pany, railroad company or any
transportation company within
two weeks to the same person.
This has been pronounced by
the administrators of the Grimm
al law of our state, the circuit
judges. district attorneys, county
attorneys. mayors and justices
of the peace as the best and most
effective prohibition law we have
ewes had. It has been a terror
to bird tigers and bootleggers.
and under its b~enefcent opera
ton these enemies to law and
order have been very effectually
suppressed. and we have come
nearer having our prohibition
laws enforced than ever before
in our history.
This law has been approved
and endorsed most emphatlcally
by temperance organizations, by
the Anti. Saloon League, by the
churches. by law and order soci-
cites, and by those engaged in
enforcing the law and maintain
ing order.
1t has proven so effective in
suppressing blind tigers and
bootleggers, and in reducing the
consumption of liquors, that it
has specially aroused the ire and
antagonism Of the big liquer in
%terest, the saloon and wholesale
liquor houses, the diStilIeries and
breweries. These profit and
flourish and grow rich and fat on
the liquor traffic whether it be
the illicit traffic or the le0alized
saloon And SO these interests
have put up the money to finance
the movement to kill these laws.
They also strike at the anti-ad-
vertising law which prohibits adj
vertisements of liquor in papers
circulated in this state They

WILSON GAINS

The New York Herald's straw
vote announced Sunday contin-
ues to show gain for the Pres
ident and places the republicans
either at a standstill or on losing
ground in many of the states.
The number of states which
have been classed as doubtful
and are being changed from one
column to the other shift toward
the democrats and the republi-
cans are losing in this estimate.
Ohio. for many, many years, a
republican state, is now virtual
ly conceded to the democrats,
while Illinois hangs in the bal,
ance on account of the tendency
of the women, who vote for the
first time in that state, to vote
for Mr.. Wilson. In Milwaukee,
Wis, where there is a large Ger
man element, the trend is toward
Wilson and that the state will
line up with the democrats is
now the claim of those who are
in a position to know. This is
the tendency in all the doubtful
states.
The Independent voter and the
women will name the president.
Mr.. Wilson's stand against
war has caught the peace-loving
element of the nation and the
slogan He kept us out of war"
is winning many voters to the
democratic column.
The President is an aggressive
lighter and his charge that a
vote for Hughes means a vote
Tor war is irritating to Nh.
Hughes and is bringing the re-
publican candidate before the
country in an unfavorabIe light.
The President at Indianapolis
handled Mr.. Hughes without
gloves for his sectional attitude
and his enmity towards the
South. The President said:
Any man who revives the is
sue of sectionalism in this coun-
try is unworthy of the confidence
of the nation. He shows himself
a provincial, he shows that he
does not know the various sec
tons of the country; he shows
that he has shut his own heart
up in a little province and that
those who do not seek special
interest of that province are to
him sectional, while he alone is
national. That is the depth of
anti-patriotic feeling"
Mr.. Hughes has proven him
self to be a narrow bigot and is
a Disappointment as a candidate.
The country should realize be-
forehand what a Disappointment
he would be as the President of
a great nation and stand by the
democrats in their efforts tc
keep this country at peace by re-
electing a man whose policy We
can all endorse regardless OF
party affiliations.
