iblo balloon of tho Parsoval type

tw thInlc at !his time' however,
USmmS part3r,w111 not declare toi
prohibition, and this is what county
option seems to mean, and that it
wil stand for the enforcement o
such amendments to tho Slocum laws
as have been made. The question is
one to be decided by the legislature
and I think that it is the . privi ege
of the legislative candidate to dl
nn hi,?B?lf f0r or gainst countt
option if ho wishes. Ho must be
guided by the conditions in his com!
munity State officers, who are exet
ive officers and whd do not mako
the laws, are not as greatly interest
ed in a declaration on the question

aro intrusted directly with their pas
sago or defeat."

on.
