The Portland daily press., 1886-08-20
DEMOCRACY rANp PROHIBITION.

The Argus yesterday published long edl-
torial article in which it admitted that the
Democracy do not believe in the Prohibitory
law, and would substitute license instead if
they could have their way. 1t claimed, how
ever, that the Democracy believed in the en-
forcement Of that law while it remained ON
the statute book. "Obey the law and enforce
the law is the Democratic doctrine" says
the Argus, "and," it adds, sit is in obedience
to this doctrine that all right-minded citizens
should now combine to wipe out the public
scandal, the dangerous civil and judicial de-
moralization which the opponents of en-
forcement have engendered and which they
are now exhibiting"
Now if the Democrats believe in the en-
forcement of the law, as the Argus alleges,
we should expect to find that when the ma
chinery was in Democratic hands the
law had been enforced. And in case any
Democratic officer whose duty it was to en-
force the law had failed to do SO, we should
expect to find that officer repudiated by the
Democracy. During the years 1881 and 1882
the sheriff of the county was Mr.. l. d. Saw
yer, Democrat, and one of the liquor sellers
under him was Mr. Benjamin f. Andrews.
Elsewhere we publish from the municipal
court records full report of the operations
of Mr.. Sawyer's liquor deputies. We want
the public to examine it closely and see how
it bears out the Argus's assertion that the
Democrats believe in the enforcement of the
liquor law. We would direct attention es-
pecially to the record for the month of Au-
gust, 1881, and the record for the same month
of fln fn1I will 1n o1carx Cd
that in August 1881 they made 81 seizures,
while in the month Of August in the follow
ing year they made not solitary one.
By examining the record of the preceding
and succeeding months it becomes quite
evident that the failure to make seizures
in August was not due to lack of opportuni-
ty. RumSelling had not been suppressed.
What then is the explanation? In 1881 there
was no State election. In 1882 there was
State election and for month in advance of
it we find the execution of the law suspend
ed entirely. Can any one doubt that this
suspension was for the purpose of keeping
the rumselers in line for the Democratic
ticket? Can any one doubt that Sheriff Saw
yer knew what his deputies were doing or,
rather, what they were not doing, and that
this suspension of the law in August was
sanctioned by him?
Did the Democrats condemn the Sheriff
for this performance? Did they call upon
''all right-minded citizens to combine to wipe
out the public scandal" which this manifest
and intentional neglect of the law on the
part of an officer sworn to enforce it had
created? Not bit of it. They voted solid
Jr for tic 70 ha and
now they have nominated him again and
propose to vote for him again, though every
Democrat in the county who can read is
probably familiar with his record. How do
these facts comport with the Argus's declara-
ton that enforcement of the law is the Dem
ocratic doctrine?
