This takes away from the peo- Ele the right to prohibit the liquor umuess. ox cent ouo feature of it. Again, the bill contains a trick to count all blank votes In favor of the enloon. lt provides that the question shall only be submitted at the bten- nlal eloction.

But tbe liunor tueu'a bill provides that th precinct shall go dry ouly in tho event that a "majority of tbe votes cast at aioa election snau tie in xavor 01 pro bibitiuir tbe sale of intoxicating li- auors " It la not etioucb that a clear majority of those who vote on the question are in favor of no saloons. but there must be a majority of all those who vote at that election, in eluding those who leave blauka on tbe prohibition Issue. This bill was "in the interest of la sauare deal, and to give notn siaes exactly tne same prlv lieges That's all!" With this omend- meat a town oould not have prohibl uou uujohh every two vearp enouun citizens voted for ft to outnutnbor all who voted a sal net it, all who were in- dllferr-nt, all who got confused ana so did not vote, and all who could not decide how to yote.
