To the Rev. c. E. Owen Of Watervi||e,
Secretary Of the Civic League.

named in your letter may carry to
those who ask for them, but when any
citizen of this State wants my opinion
upon the matter in question, and asks
for it in the temperate and fair minded
tone that characterizes your inquiry,
it appeals to me both as a duty and
pleasure to state my position fully and
without reserve. But l do not discuss
this for publication. From the Begin
ming Of my attempt to secure the nomi-
nation for Governor, l have held the
conviction that it was unwise politi-
cally, and contrary to my own sense
of propriety, for a candidate for such
nomination to single out any one law
and declare for it's enforcement, and 1
have endeavored to act consistently
with this belief. Such a conclusion
was simply a personal matter. and 1
acted in accordance with my best judg-
ment. | presume, too. that all other
candidates did the same From a DO
litical point of view. this may have
been an error. Some Of my best friends
and strongest supporters have urged
me to do otherwise. but I thought it
right then, think SO now, and do not
mean to change. TO alter my course
at this late day would create the sus-
picion that I was timid, shifty and
catering for factional support.
The above explains my reasons for
refusing to publicly discuss the tenn
perance issue, so called. AS to the
question itself, however, l have decid-
ed views. l have been a total abstainer
all my life. and am one now. 1 believe
that every citizen OF this State should
stand for and insist upon an honest,
rigid and uniform enforcement Of the
law, and any influence 1 may possess
now or hereafter will be exerted to
that end. 1t is a waste of time in my
Judgment, to talk about resubmission
now. The people of this State have
declared themselves in favor of pro-
hibition, and they are surely entitled
first of all to have prohibition thor
oughly enforced. While this has been
done thoroughly in some counties, it
has never been done thoroughly and
uniformly In all counties, and until it
has been so tried, until everybody
knows 1t has been so tried, why discuss
resubmission? 1t is time enough to
talk about that when a very consider
able number Of our citizens honestly
believe that prohibitory laws cannot
be enforced, but / see no signs of In
creasing sentiment on those lines. I |
do not assume to speak for the Repub-
lican party, nor do I know who will
write its platform for the Bangor con-
vention, but l believe that platform |
must contain plank declaring, with.
out evasion in the slightest degree, for
the continuance of the prohibitory laws |
n for ha;
publican party may never fully realize |
its ideals. but it must always have
