And this rest Is an Inalien able right which human greed should never be nermltted to wrest irom nun. it should be protected by the strong arm of the civil Dower.

That every murderer tried so far since 1 have occupied tne criminal bench has been traceable to in toxicants and that more than 75 per cent of other crimes have been due to the sama cause has put me Inexorably against tho oocn saloon. I am heartily in favor of local option and if elected will urge the passage of a law extending It to cities. The next legislature sliould submit for the people's suffrage a constitutional amendment for a etale-wlde prohibition. If it becomes a law during my administration It will be enforced.

' ' ills recommendations Contained four dis tinct features. Creation of ' the grade of warrant officer, for the promotion of de serving1 noncommissioned officers!' readjust ment of Initial rates 'of pay so that they range from $15 to $42 as against the range of from $10 to $70 In the navy; cash bonus of three months pay for re-enlistment; and an Increase of from fl to $9 In pay for high attainment In marksmanship.

In order to further the work of pacification the mili tary foroes in Somallland are 4o be raised to 3,400 natives under the command of forty six Italian oflcrTs.
