The session promises to be lively
one especially on the liquor contro
question. The special committee named
by the governor some time ago ant
composed of influential citizens from al
parts of the state approved a statewide
liquor licensing system permitting tht
sale in packages by drug stores and By
the drink in hotels, restaurants ant
clubs.
Although this recommendation was
voted by the executive committee Of
the statewide committee for submission
to the governor on vote of % to 9
some on the committee are not overly
enthusiastic and there is liable to be 9
preponderance of bills introduced or
the subject. The several politica
parties promise to take hand in the
matter as has been forecast by Their
actions since the liquor committee made
its report.
The Democratic party, which feel.
that having sponsored repeal, it should
have something to say in the matter
through John E. Regain of Mankato, viii
offer liquor control plan at the STATE
Democratic dinner at the Curtis Hote
in Minneapolis on Monday evening fol
adoption and the backing of the party
Mr.. Regain will oppose any system Of
state control and will propose instead 8
system of licensed sale under loca
option.
Then comes the Educational Bureau
of the Farmer-Labor party (the Gov.
ernor's OWN with a plan which seem:
to meet with considerable approval
even the CONGREGATIONAL Connrnittae NJ
