The above letter appeared in a re-
cent issue of the OkaIa, CFla) Me
tropolis. (What an awful slam on
Ocala). A local option fight is on in
that vicinity. election to take place
on January p. Maine people will be
chiefly interested in two things in
connection Herewith First. that Shar-
if Pennell is still engaged in his mis-
sionary work for the whiskev people,
helping them fight their battles in ia
vOr Of the licensed saloon, not with a
prOhibitorv law in prospect. but under
local option law. where the people
are called upon to register their Opin-
ion as to the wisdom of the saloon in
their own localities, a system which
the opponents Of state prohibition pre-
tend to favor in lieu thereof in Maine,
and in the misrepresentation INDUCED
in regarding Maine
Mr. Pennell gives. to the interests
he served in Delaware, his advice and
assistance cheerfully in Florida. This
is his privilege, but when he tells the
people Of Florida that Maine is get
ting ready to abandon her prOhibitory
law just as the other states are com
ing to adopt a similar one he only
gives expression to his own wish. and
not to the facts of the matter. as we
are confident the future history of the
state Will show When he tells the
people Of Florida that drunkenness is
greatly on the increase in Maine he
states a conclusion of his own. sup
ported only by the statistics gathered
by officials who are not in sympathy
with the present law, and who are ca
ger to get all the evidence possible to
overthrow that law. The system Of
securing large returns Of arrests for
drunkenness in Portland last year is
pretty generally understood by our
own people. It looks like conclusive
evidence to strangers. not familiar
with our local conditions. The some
what preiudicod view which the sher-
if takes of the question is shown by
the statement made by him to a Del
aware audience. as reported in one Of
the liquor papers there. that "onlv
five per cent. of the men in Maine are
absolute teetotalers." This statement
is not warranted by any figures avail
able, and can only refer TO the men
whom Mr.. Pencil knows. Equally
wide Of the mark are his remarks that
the most intelligent OF the clargvman
in Maine are opposed to prohibition.
In his Delaware speeches he quoted
Rev. VIM. Dewitt Hyde, Rev. Ray
mond Calkins, Rev. John Carroll Per.
