SUFFRAGE AND BOOZE TICKETS.

backward localities where beer-guzzled politicians
OF the dark ages survive and prohibition through
lack OF enforcement has not unseated their thirsts
or clarified their brains to such extent as to en-

would seem that the improbability OF any self-re-

OF course, the reference is to Delaware. and not
Indiana-or any section of Indiana,-and the
roint is that Delaware appears to be coming to its
senses Following the republican state convention,
less under control OF the booze interests than the
legislature had been and its Endorsement OF the fed

succumbed to a sober second thought, and Delaware
bids fair to hold the lasting OF giving suffrage
