It . wis felt t'nat his powerful Influence, ' tAiti to the apparent sweep of public i ientlment and the known support among IffisUtors mrmsenes, iissurcu wic suc ois of a local option bill. Vrlous lanvnsses of the legislative tote- wero made, and It was confidently mertfd that a county unit" law could (i passed. In the meantlmo the liquor men were Hying very little, out worKins auigenuy to "mend their fences." For publication tad In private they declared, when they M talk, entire confidence In their nbll- f Ity to defeat any local option bill. Even i In the House, they ussert, 140 votes vvero pledged, publicly or privately, to vote icalnst such u measure. About me Son tie they felt even more conlldciit.

But while conceding lomo losses, the liquor men havo more t recently become louder In their claims of iiii-rnsa In blocking n locnl ontlon law. i Jiow they openly proclnlm that the move- ment Is virtually defeated for this session L of the Legislature at least. t' That their assertion will prove to be ' wjll founded seems entirely probable. LEveh the poncr of the Governor to en- f force hlB wishes on the lawmakers 13 seriously questioned. ' Tno views of Governor Brumbaugh's - position arc freely expressed. Ono of them .lives the Governor credit for sincerity; F the other puts him In tho light of a skil ful po''tlcian, "keeping in line" with the Republican party leaders, while nt the lime time appearing to keep faith with the people to whom Ills public pledges have been made. LEGISL.ATOHS I.V DEFIANT MOOD. One of these views, both of them merely lurmlses, Is that Governor Brumbaugh's official acts, us well ns his lets public relations with legislators, have ben so unsatisfactory to tho lawmakers that. 5 when the issuo Is drawn, he will Una he can no longer command mem, umi they will not seek to avoid an open breach with the Executive, but rather court it, in order to "gel even" for what they regard ns "scores to be settled," by Vllllng one or the Governor's pet measures and Incidentally doing the will of tho leaders, who are ns anxious as they, not only to defeat local option, but also to fe administer a rebuke to Governor Brurn- P L-...1- T.. ..- I. tn fTAnnrfilM. hfllPVPfl VUUaili 111 1,111, it m nv,,t...j .--. that open defiance of his wishes Is to be expected The second view of the situation is that the Governor has a "working agreement" with the leaders, whereby ho Is at Ilb- K erty to urge tho local option program In the open, thereby going ns iar us hb may, legally, to redeem his picuges, , while at the same time the Organization t leasers, having both tne desire nnn mo Influence to kill local option, will do so, assuming full responsibility for their nets "..nd relieving the Governor of any odium i arising therefrom. i With this uncertainty about tho sltua f Hon existing, neither side of the local option controversy Is remitting any .efforts. The quiet work of the liquor i lobby goes merrily on nnel the tempcranco ; people of the Commonwealth continue to hurry petitions for a local option law to their representatives In tho Assembly. ft With botli sides expressing the utmost confidence, there seems to be little doubt that a bitter flcrhf Ik In nrosnent.
