Anlnn's recent delaration of
war against all Republicans who
nnnns the rjrimary nominating
nvontinn or favor Statement
Vn 1 The challenge has oeen
promptly accepted, and, unless
the machine politicians retreat
from their position the conies
-ill nrobably eliminate party
lines, even in the choice of State
fls;nia nr1 members oi con
oroes.
If the labor council stood by
itcoif it course would not have
nv eTMit Dolitical insignificance
hut it has the endorsement of the
Grange, and, we believe, of tne
great majority of the unorgan
?oA rotle of the State. The
Grange in Columbia County has
adopted similar resolutions, anu
we predict that no candidate ior
office can be elected nere next
year who places himself in oppo
sition to the direct primary law
bv accepting the nomination of
"advisory assembly' (so-
called). We believe this is true
of the State at large, and that
politicians, realizing this fact,
will not permit themselves to be
sacrificed upon the convention
altar.

It is probable there will be no
contest over the recent election
and therefore the saloons in Col
umbia County will be permitted
to exist for another year. To this
extent the recent election was a
victory fF &e saln men an(
yet it is apparent that those
among1 them who are prudent
will conduct their business with
a view to retiring after the gen
eral election in November, 1910.
The meagre majority of 64 wiH
then disappear and Columbia,
with the other counties of the
state, will finally expel the li
censed saloon. Outside of the
four incorporated cities the anti
saloon vote is largely in the ma
jority, and this would be more
plainly demonstrated if the vote
in St Helen3 and Houlton could
be separated from the precinct
vote of Union precinct, as was
done at Rainier. The farmers of
Columbia County are beginning
to see the bunco game that is
being played upon them by the
towns. Thev must pay their
share of county and state ex
penses caused by the liquor traf
fic, but get no portion worth con
sidering of the bribe or license
money raid to the cities by the
saloonkeepers. That this bribe j
money was a potent factor in set- j l i-eii

$4,800 revenue annually from its ; y' iciarin..
saloons, and its indebtedness j 'nvZ'.'.Z
amounts to about $80,000. Theji-x t
saloon licenses will just abcut
pay interest on the debt, and the ; l d wt
running expenses must be met
by direct taxation. The same
argument prevailed to a large
extent in all the incorporated
towns. "We need the money"
. wa3 the cry everywhere, and it
, was a votegetter. It is true, al-
so, that the calling of a special j
' election was unpopular, as it put
an extra, and, as many thought,
an unnecessary expense upon the
; county, and this argument was
.' made the most of by the saloon
men. Had it been a regular
election there is no doubt the
connty would have gone dry, not
withstanding the hard work and
liberal expenditure of the saloon
men.
