The Maine election shows that nineteen
twcnticthS Of the Prohibition voters will not
sacrifice their convictions on national issues
or put Democrats into power by wasting their
own strength on a separate party ticket. The
Ant-Saloon Conference ut Chicago shows that
Republicans who sincerely desire Temperance
reform arc uniting their efforts to secure
practical results through the Republican party.
Meanwhile, the broadening division between
real Prohb'ioniStS and assistant Democrats
comes in Ohio to a practical manifestation,
through the defeat of Prohibition in several
towns by the votes Of pretended Prohibition
lists. These events teach a lesson all con-
ccrned may probably study
The Ohio phenomena exhibit wolves with

the State want the practical suppression Of

plore Prohibition voters 10 ignore all national
issues to sacrifice their convictions on such
questions, and to make Prohibition their sole
aim in political action. The sincerity of these
persons is naturally doubted. Men see that
they elected Governor IIoadly, the attorney
Of the saloons. and manifest peculiar hatred
for the only party which has ever done any
thing practica for the temperance cause, and
therefore doubt whether these persons desire
Prohibition so much as a chance TO get Office
or to satisfy personal grccdS or grudgcs. 1t
is noticed that many Of them are political
hacks, who have broken down as Republican
officials or aspiranis for Office.
Presently there comes a test. The Dow law,
enacted by a Republican Legislature, gives to
each town opportunity to decide for itself
whether it will prohibit the liquor traffic
Under that law the traffic has already been
prohibited in many towns Of the State and
would lie in more hut for the passionate hos
tility of pretended Prohibiiionsts. These
persons cry out: Local Prohibition must be
sioppcl, on we shall never lie able TO carry
the State for a Prohibition ticket. If the pco-
