"Ontario gave another remarkable demonstration upon the question of local option in its January civic elections," says the weekly jourrnal "Canada." "Out of 828 municipalities in the province nearly 500 are now without a single 'bar.' The victories of the temperacne party would have been still more numerous did not the law require a three-fifths majority to carry closure into force. To the average Briton, probably the most remarkable fact about the situation is that in so comparatively short a time the question of liquor legislation is ceasing to bfe a powerful factor in the political situation. So far as the respective organs of political parties in the province voice differing opinions, they compete in the direction of more rather than less restriction on the liquor traffic."
