sometimes 1t is used as II 1t were a cluO
with which the proponents OF this
change hope to sandbag the opponents
into docility.
The Express then proceeds ''to exam
inc in perfect candor the proposition,
and see whether there be ground for
any abuse of the citizen who deems 1t
his duty to stand for and by that which
he honestly deems to be for the best in
terests of the people of the State as
whole" and the conclusion it reaches
will be readily inferred.
The Ellsworth Enterprise favors the
plan of instructing delegates to the
State convention, as advocated by the
Bangor Daily News and by Hon. Ma
thaniel Jones of the Governors Coun-
Gil, the latter suggesting that two sets
of delegates be placed before the eau
Gus, one favoring the adoption of a re-
submission plank in the Republican
platform and the other opposed. In
conclusion the Enterprise says:
Politicians who are well acquainted
with the conditions existing over the
state saw that the next Republican
State platform will declare for the pro-
hibitory law, but will also contain
plank declaring the belief of the party
that it is for the good of the State to
resubmit the question to the voters and
then ascertain what is the present will
of the voters of the State in regard to
the vexed and many sided question.
The Maine Woodsman says: cat no
time has the prohibitory law been EN-
forced as it is being enforced today
and that Governor Cobb is simply doing
his duty and fulfilling the pledges he
made before his election:
Governor Cobb was elected upon
platform adopted at the Bangor con
vention which contained plank IN
favor of the prohibltory law. 1here
was no quibbling with reference TO THIS
matter: it was square and straight, ana
the temperance people OF Name, tne
people who are responsible TOT what
ever enforcement the State has ever
had, had reason to expect alter the
adoption of this plank, that Governor
Cobb would do everything in his power
~ entorce tbe nrohibitory law.
And in conclusion the Maine Woods
man says:
