Men are being bluntly told by their constituents to line up with the Gov ernor on this biggest state-wide issue J and the men who claim to be pledged the other way are being asked by l home folks to whom they gave pledges and why. The Governor said to-day, as he did on Monday, that the tide for local op tion is rising and added, ''l certainly expect the bill to pass. I said so last night and I say so again. I have every reason to foel encouraged over the results." Tjeaders of local option in the House are gratified at the prospects in the lower chamber and the liquor lobby is ! showing signs of acute distress.

The bill is going to stay in commit tee until the Governor is ready to have lit come out. Senator Edwin H. Vare | made this significant declaration in support of the Governor's policy last I evening: "I shall give my support to | the Governor in his plan to have the : local option bill held in committee for | the present, in case any effort is made ,in the House, to force early consid eration of Ttre' bill in defiance of his i wishes. I shall expect every friend of j the Vares in the chamber to stand In : opposition. I have not the slightest idea, however, that any move of this kind will be made." | Speaker Charles A, Ambler said: j "The bill will remain In the commit tee on law and order so long as the I Governor desires. There is no need I for hurried consideration of the meas- I ure, and the Governor will be given full opportunity for the free discussion of the measure by the citizens of the State. No effort to discharge the com mittee and force the bill out for final consideration will meet with success." Chairman Williams said: "No ar rangements have been made as yet for ! a public hearing on the local option j bill, but it is probable that a meeting j may be held shortly.
