The Obvious Duty.

The platforms of the Republicans of
Cumberland county and the State of
Maine, both emphatically endorse the
Maine prohbitory law and declare in
favor of its impartial and thorough en-
t force The Democrats of the State
constitutional provision for prohibition in
the interest of a license law and a Demo-
cratic sheriff has demonstrated to the
people OF this county for the past two
years the Democratic idea of law enforce
ment. The people of the county should
be able to choose without hesitancy be-
tween the two parties upon this issue
alone. And having chosen they should
spare no effort to bring about the com
plete overthrow of the Democratic idea
of notification.
paigr is the very thing which Sheriff
Pennell and his supporters in the doc
trine of notification of law have been
praying for. They know that in no other
way can it be made possible for them to
win. Those people who from a mistaken
understanding of the situation or from
personal prejudice are contemplating
throwing their support to third ticket in
the coming election should understand
that they are merely playing into the
hands of the enemies of the prohibi.ory
law and its enforcement. They are
simply helping to give aid and encourage
ment to the men who declare that the
sheriff has the right to use his judgment
understand that the way to win victories
for good government and for the support
Of law and order is to present a solid
front in the face of the enemy and to
been so cunningly set for them. To en-
sure the emphatic and unmistakable con-
termination OF Pennellism and nullifica-
ton. vote the Republican ticket. And
