cised, and especially by the liquor
organs sand Stanley men. They say
he is not true Phohi. Yet we no.

ed for the bone-dry side and he
makes no pretentions to being
against liquor. What it all means
we do not know. Is the legislation
so drastic that it will disgust some
of the temperance people?. We
think not. Is it an infringement on
State Rightsq Probably so, but
we have discarded that old Demo-
cratic idea long ago. Some say that

into voting for it. Whatever may
