The available vote of the township) is probably 1200. 11e aimn- ed that local option does not w-orhi well, and neyer will be séitisfactory. No such law is successful. It is not fair to the township and flot fair to the hiotel keepers. He adînits that the hq(uor traffic leads to great evil, but a. hotel cannot lie protitably t-un without it. To lay off takiug the vote tili thet' municipal election is not fair t. the' hotel kepepers, who have to lay in a stock of coal and wood. E41.

Mr. Haverson said it is claimeti that many naines have been securedti o the petition for a repeal vote in a surrepti. tious way.
