It is so been that the primary election today will take the form of a wet and dry cam-balgn-the first In that town since 186. This discrepancy In the price of licenses Is .no great mystery.

But applications ars nor in at Florence to be granted May 1 for one year from' date. On the other hand, if the applicants ahould have to wait until annexation ia effected and get their licenses from Greater Omaha they could not be Issued until June 1 at the earliest, but would cost 11.000 Just the same. ' That would be 11.000 for seven months, or until January 1 next That Is why the issue to wet and dry In Florence tomorrow.
