county. Nauyoo and Warsaw. 1t is
said the dry people will have to
stand the extra cost of this election.
Another hot time is looked for at the
coming city election, because the
.drys" will use every means in their
power to gain their enGs this time, but
they will have no noted evangelist to
assist them this year.

without any trouble in raising the

We made mention above in this col
umn that Nauvoo would again be
called on to vote on the liquor ques-
ton next spring. A year ago when
the "drys" were defeated, it was be-
lieved that it would be doubtful wheth-
er or not Nauvoo voters would be
called upon to pass upon the liquor
question again this year. The senti-
ment here at the present time is to
let well enough alone and it Is very
doubtful when it comes to vote that
the "drys" can win. Babes in arms
today are liable to live here and die
of old age and never see dry Maui
WOO unless county option Or state
wide prohibition prevails.
