VOTE TO STAY DRY

the Jaws without interference.
Who VIII Pay the Bilisl

The great drawback 70 the wet"
side Is that there is no one TO pay the
bills for wet" campaign. II Is un-
derstood that the brewers have poei-
lively Withdrawn from any part In
the canvass and the whiskey men are
doing better business now than they
did when Il was wet" That leaves
only the local dealers and not one
person can tell who viii BE allowed
70 sell liquor II the county votes wet
The voting ont OF tile snloon two
years ago upset All precedent and az
one stroke reduced Tie number OF
saloons allowable under a wet" re-
gime TO one for each 500 All old
dealers were put out Of business so
that new slate is started and the
common council can DO az Il pleases
In granting licenses
This uncertainty OF conditions makes
those who would Ike to continue In
the business. should the county go
wet" very cautious about Investing
any money In the campaign. What Is
true Ia Crystal Falls is true In Iron
River and Stambaugh 30 that the To-
cal dealers support, outside OF their
personal inclination and influence. Is
very much limited.
Fear Reign Of Greed.
Another argument that one hears
put up frequently Ia that should the
county vote wet" and licenses be
granted, the dealers will take out
licenses knowing that they have Just
one year in which 10 make killing
and that they will start out from the
crack OF the gun to get the money"
That feeling is probably tho chief in
iuence against a wet vote by the
county. IL Is especially strong in
Crystal Falls city and Iron River and
Stambaugh villages. The action of
many OF the former dealers after the
county went dry" when they defied
the law and sold liquor illicitly has
served to increase this alarm. People
figure that the wouldbe dealers can
not be trusted to be ION the square"
should a vote in favor Of the licensed
saloon be recorded
SO, taking all the conditions exist
ing and placing them side by side. one
can readily see that it's no cinch just
how Iron county Is going to vote next
April on the liquor question. A slight
shade exists in favor OF the local op-
tlon Law carrying again but the mar
gine is SO narrow that It may be over
come by some new condition that may
arise
