arose, and Sergeant-at-A rm
Wilson, bearing the ancient mace
met the sergeant-at-arms ot tin

ators were given seats on eacl

incoming state officials. Aseenc
ing the stand, the oath of oflic
was administered to Mr. Ansi
by Chief Justice Eope, and Cioi
eruor Ansel then beuau his ii
augural address.
Education, the liquor questioi
bucket shop"?, criminal assaulti
railroads, liberal pensions to ol
soldiers, county roads, better a<
commodations for supreme coui
and immigration were importai
themes touched on by Goyernc
Ansel in his inaugural addresi
Speaking ot the liquor questio
he said in part:
"The people ot the state hav
spoken in no uncertain soum
and we cannot mistake the
meaning, that the state digpei
sary system must be abolishe
and that there must be enaete
in its stead a law providing f<
local county option as bet wet
county prohibition and couni
dispensaries.
"In making my campaign th
past summer, one ot the print
pal issues before the people wi
the question of state dispensai
or local option as between cou
ty prohibi'ion and county di
pensaries.
"The plank in rny plat for
upon that question is as follow
u lI am opposed to the syste
of a state dispensary. I am
favor of local county option, I
tween county prohibition ai
county dispensaries.'
"I favor each county voti
upon that question for themsi
ves. If the vote is for liquor
be sold, then let acounty dispe
sary be operated in that coun

"The will of the people
