A vveck ago, oti tho morning of Ua now famous conference In the Execu ftiri Mansion, tho local option movement undoubtedly waa "on the Bklds," and the ftnly chanco of passing tho bill appealed forest with tho pcoplo of the State them- fi-ltes.

How many more Senators would .TOte for the bill If It should coma up for t vote In the Senate Is a matter of con jecture, but several Senators who have ibeen silent so far, undoubtedly will sup port the measure 1C they have to declaie their attitude publicly. The flsht for passage of local option by the House Is not over. Ono hundred and ffflii. fnvnrnhln votes are needed In that branch. If the members now pledged to Tote for It support the measuro thcio Is "a .rood chance of the House passing It. Governor Brumbaugh Is using alt of the power of his office, Including the club of patronage, to swlnir votes for local op tion. He undoubtedly can Influence six or seTtn more members to vote for his jneaiureby giving their county leaders to tunfenland that their allotment of State Jobs Is at stake. He has used this method the last week to lino up a dozen mem r btra. Governor Brumbaugh Is sincere In his fight for local option and child labor, and l In the struggle to the finish. He has made that Dlaln to cverv one on "tho Hill." He is un ncalnst tho 1eoious opposi tion, of McNIchol and Crow, and tho Potr of their orcanlzation In the Legis lature. Both these leaders have told the (.Governor In so many words that they twoie local option, and that they will Efijht his local option bill.
