Maine Hotel Keepers
Want to Repeal the Prison Clause of the
PrOhibitory Law.

Want to Repeal the Prison Clause of the
Prohibitory Law.
At the annual executive meeting of the
Maine Hotel PropretOrs' Association, held
in the Bangor House, Bangor, Feb. 5th, it
was voted to make systematic and organ
lied attempt to nominate for the next legis-
lature candidates pledged to repeal the
prison clause of the prohibitory law; and,
secondly, to elect these candidates after
they are nominated. 1t is stated that there
are now about 1000 hotel proprietors in the
State of Maine, who count upon controlling
at least 10000 votes. In every county
throughout the State county association
will be organized, delegates from which will
afterwards meet in State convention, the
date to be determined later. The move
ment is to be entirely non-political. At
the banquet which followed the meeting
President Thomas presided. Waldo county
was represented by Harry L. Brown, Isles
boro, NJ. R: Knowlton, Belfast, and G. H:
Dunton, Winterport. The latter is one of
the vice presidents of the Association.
