If we lei metiers remain in their present -hay.e what have we accomplished? Th'? dispensary system can ncvei hud to I'roliihition. It has fought lis heretofore at every step. !' I**:? clone more to make the wlecky traffic appear respectable than 1 any svstom that we have ever ! bad. The longer the system stands the more power will it | acquire and the more influence i will ifr ^Vor/?ica in - The tremendous power ;t nlr-c.dv j lias car. only ho known fully I?v I those who have come in contact : with its practical workings m ;< j campaign. How eagerly arc the {positions upon the hoard of control sought after. Why? Partly, at least, because thev realize the t j power of the dispensary in elections, and thev want its influence exerted in their behalf. If al! lowed to stand, will its influence i along these lines he decreased ? ! I repeat the question* What have the Prohibitionists to gain by allowing the present system to stand? Absolutely nothing. If it stands they have gained nothing. and their fight of last year counts for nothing. On the other hand, what would the repeal of the dispensary moan to us * With it repealed, and with no other law enacted, we would have Prohibition in every county in the state. The tacking on of a local option feature would I mean that in those counties where ; public sentiment, is not sufficiently strong to give us Prohibition, the license system or the county dispensary system would be in force. Pnder either of these systems we would have all of the good features of the present dispensary, for under the constitution they have remained. If Prohibition were forced upon 4?id cninitifM it could not h?? on. forced, for it is nonsense to talk about enforcing any law which is I not supported by public sentiment.. The non-enforcement of a Prohibition law in those counties would do our cause harm, because we would be held responsible for its enforcement. True, we might have whisky rings to tight in 1 those particular counties in the ' future, but what would they be as compared to the great state whisky rir.r now in existence? 1 believe that at least three' fourths of the counties in the I*: state would remain under the operations of the Prohibition law. ' , Would that not give us three1 fourths of a victory, which is 5 better than no victory at all? r Again, those counties would give 1! us ? tremendous leverage it! our future1 lights. The onlv sound i objection that cat) be urged '' agninM the view that I present is that the present administration is hostile to Prohibition, ami that, r therefore, the law might be killed 'hv a weak-kneed enforcement ' thereof. There is some force in ; such at; argument but in mv ? judgment that objection will be ' more than offset bv the benefits that will accrue. Kemember, wo r get riil of the tremendous inllu' enee of the dispensary in politics.
