BEFORE TIE OLD MAINE LAW
Anecdote Is Told OF a Struggle for
Prohi bition il the Pine
Tree State.

N. F. Woodbury., the Maine repre-
sentative of the prohibition national
committee, was talking about the
political fights for total abstinence
that have from time to time stirred
up his state. In the past, said Mr..
Woodbury., before Maine had been
won over to- prohibition, there used to
be a village bleak, gray Village on
the coast-where the contests over the
liquor question were always hot. In
this village, as election day drew near,
each party would try to do Guido the
other. Il one side paraded 100 strong
the other side paraded 200 strong. Il
one side held mass meeting and en-
ployed q band, the other side would
hold mass meeting with q band and
g. lunch as well. There was one liquor
saloon in the village, and a week be-
fore certain election a plaeard as big
as the entire front Of the house was
raised before 1T. This enormous plac-
ard said in huge rel letters: If the
prohibition law passes this house wifi
De closed The saloon, yo2 see, was
coy and inviting to such as liked q
glass Of beer, and the purpose Of the
placard was to put sorrow and fear
into the breasts of drinking men, to
stir them up to win votes, lest their
pleasant meeting place be taken from
them. That was the idea OF the plac-
ard, and it was a good idea. But in the
dead of the night certain odd noises
were heard, and the next morning the
enormous pIacard covered the front o.
