Sections of County


mary election September IL will
close Tuesday. August 22. leav-
ing but five more days in which
TO enroll names on the books.
Interest in the election. largely
because of the wet and dry issue
is high in this section, and a full
/ registration is looked for.
Especially around the office of
sheriff is a stiff fight developing.
and the entire county is being
aroused to the need of a change
in administration. The Ferndale
Record made the following state
ment last week:
Attempts to discredit the eigh-
teenth amendment and state pro-
hibition laws received a distinct
slap by resolution recently of
Washington district attorneys
in recent convention. The pros
ecutors resolve for a continuance
oe the bone dry laws and ask for
cooperation in making them ef-
fective.
Liquor interests are working
hard to make their opening
wedge. They are putting forth
3 light wines and beer program.
The cities, where certain foreign
elements are numerous, are Iais-
ing clamor for moderation. The
rural population is content to
toll without booze.
Washington is by no meanS
bcLo dry, despite the assertion.
i'll the attorneys resolution that
the laws are "beiug enforced as
effectively and as successfully as
any other criminal law upon the
statute books" Few citizens of
Whatcom county would be salts
fed to have other laws as loosely
enforced as it appears the pro-
hibition laws are.
The laxity, real or apparent,
is crystallizing sentiment for a
shake-up in the sheriff's office
this year and concerted efforts to
get strong candidate in the
field against the incumbent are
being made, it is known.
