Saskatchewan to Hold National
Plebiscite in July,

REGINA. Saskatchewan, June e7-
The eyes of students of prohibition
throughout the world are turned on
Saskatchewan to see whether this
province will follow Quebec Alberta,
Manitoba and British Columbia in
turning to government sale as the
best method of dealing with liquor.
The question will be before the
voters in provincial plebiscite July
16.
The province of Saskatchewan has
been dry since 1916 plebiscite in
1920 continued the dry regime by
vote of S6949 to 55.259. Last year
a petition for sale of liquor under
provincial control was denied by the
Saskatchewan government. When
the province was made dry and when
it was kept so, women voted, as
they will in July.
Quebec has never been dry, but
adopted government sale to meet
criticisms of the liquor traffic.
Alberta, Manitoba and British CO.
lumbia adopted government dispen-
sarjes after trying "bone-dry" prohi-
bition.
