The Maine State Temperance Society is

CARNATIONS in the State, and is designed to
be the medium through which they can unit
eddy act in the use Of all honorable measures
for the final overthrow of the drinking system
and the liquor traffic.
We cordially invite all friends Of the tenn
perance cause to meet with us on this Occa-
sion, in order to secure more perfect union
to devise measures to educate the masses up
on the drinking system; to strengthen the
moral sentiment Of the people upon the drink
traffic; to advise upon the question of more
stringent enactments for the suppression of
drinking and selling Intoxicating liquors; to
take into consideration the willful neglect and
refusal Of executive officers Of towns, cities
and counties to enforce the laws upon the
statutes of the State, prohibiting the traffic in
intoxicating liquors; and to consider any and
all questions bearing upon these subjects.
The exigencies of the times demand that
we should vote for none but hon st men and
honest officials to enforce the laws; and that
obedience to all laws being the paramount
duty of all people, they should demand a
thorough, impartial and non partisan enforce
ment Of law against the dram shop, As well
as all other laws for the protection of the
people, as the only safeguard of our institu
tions and homes.
The usual reduction Of fare may be ex
