ed upon the ballot for the general
election in November, thus submitting
them for adoption or rj ‘ction by the
people,
While each of the amendments re
vises a difterent section of the Consti-
tution, the purpose of ail is to the
same end —namely, to abe lish the Feb
ruary election, to provide that the
general election shall be held in Nov-
ember of even-numbered years and the
mn unicipal election in November of
odd-rumbered years, and that there
sL.all be but oue regular election each
year, : .
To accomplish this purpose, and to
The Licenses Application,
Petitions for hotel licenses are being |
circulated. Ifthe ministers and good
church people want to keep church
members from signing the petitions,
row is the time to begin the campaign,
If every member of the Christian
church refuses to sign a license
petition it will be a difficult matter
for Inndlords to get the signatures of
twelve highly respectable citizens to
#lgn un application. 1t is the church
member who is largely responsible for
the liquor traffic as it exists today.
That is saying a good deal, bat no |
minister who goes to the trouble to
look into the matter will deny it.
