Gorvallis Times. OOBVAIXJS, OMGOIC, JUNE 15, 1JXM. H ANY DID NOT VOTE. FOR THE CELEBRATION. Ia Benton Local Option How will They Vote in November. Local option, since the recent election, succeeds in being a fruit ' fal theme of conversation. Where- ever three or four men congregate, there, sooner or later, local option bobs up to be talked about. Gen erally, there is speculation con cerning where and when tbe new Jaw will be put into operation . fhere is wonder if tie m?3jre will stand the fire of the courts, and usually an agreement that it looks as if the saloons must go v from - many of the counties of the state. Of course the question will be voted on in Benton in November and opinion is general that it will carry the county. A vigorous fieht of course, will be made both for and against it, and with many the issue will completely overshad ow the presidential compaign. In Benton, the niaiority in favor of enactment of the law was 380 The maiority for it in Corvallis . was 144, as follows: Corvallis number 1, for, 118: against. 69; majority, 49; Corvallis number 2, for 113; against, 67; majority, 46: Corvallis number 3, for, 103: against, 72; maiority, 31; Corvallis number 4. for 74; against, 53; ma jority, 21; total majority, 144, with every precinct in the town carried for the measure. With this pro nounced majority for the enactment f the law, it is figured that in any event and under any fight, there will be sufficient votes to put the provisions ot the law into opera tion and to put the saloons out of business when another ballot battle is had. 'k In the other precincts of the county, the vote was as follows Soap Creek, for, 41; against, 21; majority, 20: Willamette, for, 61 against, 37; majority, 24; Monroe, for, 60; against, 42; majority, 18 Kings Valley, for, 39; against. 44 maiority against, 5; Alsea, for 75 against, 29; majority, 46; Summit, for, 10; against, 20; majority against, 10: Philomath, for, 209 against, 67; majority, 142; Blodgett for, 15; against, 28; majority against, r3; Bellfountam, lor, 78; against, 45; majority. 33; Wren for, 9: against, 25; majority against 16; Fairmount, for, 50; against, 55; majority against, 5; total, for, in the county, 1,055; total against. 675; majority for, 380. Majorities v ere cast against the measure in Kings Valley, Summit, Blodgett. Wren and Fairmount, but it car ried every other precinct. The heaviest majority in any one pre cinct for it, was in Philomath, where it carried by 142, or but two less than the combined majorities of the four Corvallis precincts. The heaviest majority in any one pre--cinct against it; was in Wren, where 16 more people didn't want the law than was the number that desired it. All told the number ot votes cast for and against was 1730. Nearly 200 hundred people in tbe county, did not vote either tor or a gainst local option, and this affords : some hope for those who are against the measure. On the local option question, the total vote was only 1730. Apparently, 200 voters did not have their minds made up, or else overlooked the amendments en tirely, and accordingly tailed to go on record on the local option ques tion. It is also claimed on one side that some people voted for the law, not knowing that if the whole coun ty should petition for and put local option into etiect that no mdividu al precinct could by its own vote a gainst it, in the November election, still retain saloons In other words, it is claimed that some of those who voted for the law have changed their minds, and will not in Nov ember vote to put its provisions in to effect. On the other side a simi lar condition is declared to exist, and accordingly, there is room for a continuation of debate and specula tion. And it wrll doubtless contin ue until after the November election While in the above seem to be some conditions that altord some chance that in another test the ma iority might . be reversed, belief is general that such an event will not happen Of the 200 people who did not vote on the subject, before there is as much room for one side to get - a portion of them as there is for the other, Some who voted tor tne measure may have changed their minds and will now vote against, but the same conditions may prevail as largely on the other side. Of course, too, some may have voted for the adop tion of the law having done' so for the purpose of giving people local self government on tne liquor as well as in educational and other questions who will not later vote for enforcement ot its provisions; One of the" features will be Trap Shooting on the Second and Fourth. Events for the three days' cele bration in honor of the 4th of July are multiplying. By the time the days arrive, there will be something to attract and interest everybody.
