CLEVER GAME
Would Place Saloon In
Reach of Every
Thirsty Man
One of the clearest exfosltions of
‘the so-called "home rule" llqttcr
amendment to the rtate constitution
Is contained In an editorial by Stuart
H. Perry in the Adrluu Times.
"The intent," *nvs Mr. Perry, "t»
to put a saloon within reach of
every thirsty lnlhtdunl In Michigan
If that were not the plan, th* liquor
Interests would not be fighting
for it.”
The editorial follows:
Th** w**t amt dry petitions are on

tory is on It will be a fight to the
finish, f»*r the Insue I* no longer a t

The wet plan masquerades under
the name of nn "option" plan, hut It
would reduce the option unit fr m the
county to the township, village or
city My this means Us sponsors hope
to pull thi- wool over the eves of at
least some voters by Invoking the
lrniigin.ii.\ blessings of home rule.
The intent, however, ts as plain as
th* face of ths town etoek It Is to
put a saloon within reai-h of every
thirsty Individual In Michigan If
this were not the plan the liquor In

for Sacramento, where he will speak
today, after addressing two large
gatherings in this city. Mr. Hughes,
earlier in the day, made an address
to an audience of 20,000 on the
grounds of the San Diego exposition,
at Ban Diego.
The auditorium here proved too
small to hold the crowd which gath

Declaring that public interests
merit protection from spoliation,
Mr. Hughes said:
"W’e have had periods when the
public interest in this country was
Ignored; when it was dertded and
not safeguarded by law.
“I am glad those periods are past.
I believe they have passed. I be
