Feb. 4. A local option caucus of the House la.t evening was attended by about sixty members, who, after dividing on the question of hether a county as a whole should vote on license or no license for liquor, finally agreed, without any dissent, to stand solid for the Anti Saloon league's bill, introduced by Rep re." sentatlve Fair, of Westmoreland. This bill requires the voting units to be townships, boroughs and wards of cities. There wis a lung diission of the unit question.

John S. of Fay ette, art Warren B. Simpson, of Huntingdon, were leaders of the fide that wanted the county unit.

Calvin Meyer, Democrat, of Centre county, to indorse Professor Fair's bill unchanged was adopted by a large majority.
