The liquor republicans were more ! i favor of liquor than they were ir favor of their party. The temperance democrats, on the other hand were democrats before they were temperance people. The great majority of prohibitionists care nothing about temperance, the;,’ only object being to defeat republican party, and they voted their ticket. Some temperance democrats voted for me, and those prohibitionists who really cared anything about temperance voted in the same way. The majority of the people, however, have said at the ballot boxes that they were not in favor of county local option and on that question I was beaten.” —James E. Watson. Now, that sounds like the same ho* mush we heard during the campaign. At that time Mr. Watson shed manv briny tears over the ruined waste that was overshadowing this great state, because of our liquor laws. That is. he put this sort of a face on the question in public, and then in private he would tell "the boys” that a" governor he would not hurt their feelings. What few people that were not on to his light and fantastic curves before the campaign opened, did get onto him before the campaign close ~ and they refused to turn over their confidences without a safe and reliable guarantee. He could not supply the bond. Governor Hanly signed as one of the necessary sureties, but the people refused to accept him unless he also put up a bond. There you were. The result demonstrates that it pays to be on the square, in politics and public life, as well as ra everything else. Jim’s life and public record in congress does not read like the biography of a hardshell prohi-

bit ionist. In fact it gives the snap away. The voters, whether they were as Jim designates them—temperance Democrats or whiskey Republicans—listened to bis high class oratory, collected a few of his salt stained tears as souvenirs, and then reserved their ballot for Tom Marshall. They did it wore for the reason that Tom Marshall sailed under no false colors, and that is what counts, after all. Jim. that is Jim Watson, should revise his after the election post mortem. The burden of it is that the people have spoken against county local option. We do net believe it They may have spoken against the manner and method in which Governor Hanly served it to them, but we seriously doubt that they voted against county option. People are not in the habit of speaking against something that they know not of. County option is an unknown, an untried commodity in Indiana. We have the law. that’s all. The majority of people are willing to try any remedy before relegating it to the scrap heap. Thus it is with county local option. We have the law, and it is worthy of a fair and impartial trial. The defeated candidate for governor is like the rest of the politicises of his party. They want no issues or elements that do not glitter with the elements of success at the polls. It is policy not principle with them. Thev want no plantrs in their platform that fails to allure the church, the business man and the brewery, and if there is any way for a pig to climb a greased pole, they will have them.

GENEVA ITEMS. Next Monday Mr. Bert Reddout will leave Geneva for Mesa, Arizona, where he will be employed in a supply store furbishing implements and materials for the use of the government in the great irrigating plant that is in progress of construction there. Bert will be "at home" in the business, in which he had large and responsible experience in the store of the National Supply Company in Geneva, until it was sold last fall to another company. But Bert will be far, far from home to his many friends here, who will regret beyond all expression his removal from Geneva. Mr. Reddout is just one of those men who will be missed by the hundreds that have had dealings with him in the past, and the town can ill afford to lose him. And what renders it all the worse for the town is that his family, 90 prominent and useful in all good things in the community, will follow him to his new home in the early spring. Mr. Charles P. Borden is fast slipping away from all that is of this life. Having been in failing health for several months past, he has now reached the stage where he can no longer leave the house, and can scarcely walk firm room to room. Mr. Borden has been a daily figure on our streets in the years past, and he will be missed when the end, that cannot be far off, takes place. In his sickness he has the sympathy of many, many friends. Dr. Wright, dentist Is in high glee, his wife having presented him with two baby boys this morning. The doctor will be kept busy buying the cigars. Many are the congratulations to him and his wife on advent of the “boys” in the home. The candidates for treasurer of Ohio are still claiming the election and the official vote has not yet been announced. Now the republican candidate claims that an error of nearly 5.000 was made in Cuyahoga county and that if this is corrected he will be elected by 700. The democratic candidate claims that with that credit h p is still the treausurer by 1,500. We thought Indiana was slow with the official count

GIVE IT A TRY OUT I • ~ Wayne County to Vote With County as a Unit CIRCULATE PETITIONS They Will Present Them at 'I the Next Sesson of Commissioners’ Court * , Richmond, Ind., Nov. 21. —At a mass [ meeting of temperance people, held 1 yesterday afternoon in the Pythian ■ temple, it was decided to begin at once the circulation of petitions asking the board of Wayne county commission- . ers to call a special election to decide . whether the county shall be “wet" or ’ “dry” for two years. A few persons present held the opinion that it might be unwise to bring the question to is1 sue unil after the next session of the 1 general assembly, but there was no I opposition offered to the plan to begin . the crusade immediately. Petitions 1 were sent today into every township ■ in the county, and a number of prom- . inent citizens of Richmond will circu--1 late them among the city wards. It is • 1 thought that enough signers will be ob1 tained within the next two weeks, and 1 it this is accomplished, the petitions > will be presented at the regular session on December 7. The saloon men * have anticipated the action of the tern- * > perance people and are prepared to 1 I make a hard fight. The statute pro- I 1 vides that the voting shall be done at < - the usual voting places. This is taken i r to mean that Wayne county must have 1 r sixty-four polling places, the number < 1 used at the recent general election. < : - The commissioners believe that forty t polling places at the outside would be < 9 sufficient, and thus the expense could I J be reduced. The estimate of the cost 1 of the special election is $3,000. i)

Count Forgach, led to an awkward Incident, of which more is expected to be heard. Count Forgach, whether intentionally or not, omitted to greet Prince George.
