Great welcome in Lyons.
LYONS, N. Y. Oct. 29.-After his siren
uous day in New York City yesterday,
william II. Taft reached this city some
what fatigued and hoarse, but in good
spirits and anxious to meet the crowds.
He was taken to the largest hall In the
city, where he made an extended address
on the issues of the campaign. Judge
Taft was met by Representative Serene E.
Payne, republican floor leader OF the
house of representatives, and several
prominent republicans. constituting a re-
ception committee.
In his speech, Mr., Taft demonstrated
lis recuperative powers. His smile was as
infectious and CHEEKY as ever, his flow of
language was easy and his vigor in de-
n~ouncins what he called bryan fallacles, "
was unmatched by previous efforts. The
5.ooo people Of Lyons turned out enmasse
10 see ano near the cAnuiudle. ne was
escorted to the theater by a mounted rough
rider guard, His reception by the crowds
in the theaters and on the streets evidenced
great enthusiasm, Before Mr.. Taft began
his discussion of politics he paid a COM
pllment to Representative Payne. Mr..
Taft's speech presented a concise review
OF the great problems which the republican
party has dealt with.
Victory for Good vernme
when in 1896 ;he republican party
stamped upon the heresay of free silver"
said Judge Taft. 1T was a victory for
good government, a victory FOR honesty
and for notional honor that is exceeded
only by the victory of our armies in the
civil war"
The repeal OF the democratic tariff and
passage Of the Dngley bill, Judge Taft
said, was responsibi9 for the greatest
prosperity this country has ever known.
He then proceeded to Illustrate his point
with the Lyons beet sugar industry, say
ing that with the removal Of protection
from that industry the sugar factories of
t..s country would be removed to Germany
ana not only would the Americans en-
llUyed In that industry be out of their
,ihgloyment, but the farmers who raise
sG-Gy bects would also be injured.

Congressman Pollard was in Lincoln a

The third card was identical with the others. The apparent sender lives in Tempe. so that the circumstances un- der which it was sent could not be learned but they were presumably the same as in the case of the other two.
 The Republican had not contem- plated forgery in connection with the boycott and had resolved 10 stop the subscriptions of all persons from whom notices might be received, re- questing discontinuance But in view of the methods of the boycotters this paper will pay no attention to such notices. Subscribers who desire to discontinue The Republican must eith- CT call at this office in person or proof must be furnished that the notice is not forgery or that permission to forward it has not been secured by duress.
 Many persons who are prominently in favor of prohibition have stated to The Republican that they do not crit icise its course and more especially do not, as the columns of this paper were thrown open to both sides as soon as the local option election was order ed by the board of supervisors.

EVIDENCES
 OF A CRIME Traces of Criminal COnspi. rdCy of the Narrow Minded It Involves Also Black mailing and a Kind of Forgery.

The Republican yesterday came into possession of evidence of criminal conspiracy against its subscription list It has also learned that the con spiracy involves a species of forgery. The identity of all the conspirators has not been disclosed.
 The results of the conspiracy are not alarming but it must be alarming to all good citizens to learn that there is an element in this city engaged in despicable and lawless acts in the name of reform and religion.
 It had been threatened that there was to be d boycott against The Re- publican as well as against the other papers Of the city on account of their publication of arguments at the re- quest of business men. against prohi- bition, the fulfillment of the threat being conditional upon the continu- ance of those publications. That is, the threat was an incident in a black mailing program
 The evidence Of the crime so far as The Republican is concerned consists of three postal cards bearing the sig natures Oi subscribers. or supposed subscribers of this paper ordering their papers stopped on conditions. The three cards though coming from different localities were all written by the same person and ih two cases

AFFIRMATIVE SIDE
 OF PROHIBITION
Letters From Those Who Believe it Would be Better for This Commu- nifty.

The following letters are from sub scribers who have accepted The Re publican's invitation to express their opinion through the columns of this paper on the pending question of pro- hibition The Republican is glad to get these letters and hopes that the friends of prohibition will avail them- selves fully of the opportunity to dis cuss this subject which is just now of vital interest. Letters bearing the signature O. the writers would be preferable, not necessarily for publi- cation. if any writer should for any reason desire his name withheld.
 Prohibition Prohibits.
 Does Prohibition prohibit? of course 1t does not. But officers with courage and conviction do prohibit. in prohi- bition territory. That there are many men who do enforce prohibition, as well as other laws which conflict with the pleasure and business interests of certain classes, is quite evident in the frantic efforts Of liquor men to pre- vent the passage of prohibition laws, and even to let the matter come to a vote of the people. Right here in Phoenix, the saloon men first tried to get an injunction to prevent the election. then their attorney tried to make out that the people who live in prohibition territory could not vote in the coming local option election. IL is the same all over the country Now. why are the liquor men so ear nest. why are they spending so much money. if they do not fear that pro hibition will De enforced? As poorly enforced as it is in some places. it is interfering with the trade Agents for the liquor houses admit that.
 The District of Columbia is being overrun by men who are leaving the south because t is so dry
 Why are the liquor men so eager to have re-submission in Maine. if there is no prohibition there? We must be- lieve that to great extent. liquor selling is prevented in prohibition ter ritory. LUELLA F THOMAS

Portland Prohibition.

The following article by Airs. Lillian NJ. Stevens of Portland. Me. president of the national W.-C. L. was con- tributed bv the ladies of the local w C. T. L. last night.
 We are indebted to a friendly editor for sending us copy of a syndicate article prepared by the liquor frater- nifty. which is being sent without charge to papers that will use it, and is to be released for publication" in whole or in part for afternoon papers of Saturday. February 8. and morning papers of Sunday, February g. Nat urally enough, the article deals with the state which. longer than any oth- CT, has maintained a prohibitorv law "a law which has withstood the con- stant attacks of the liquor trade. not only of the state. but of the country. and O. other countries
 The first sub-head in this remark able document is Declares prohibition q failure" and the article proceeds to say, re-submission;stS franklS de- clare the prohibitory law to be a fail- ure.' The men in Maine who wish to sell liquor, and their sympathizers, constitute the great majority of re- submissionists in Maine Hon. John D. Long, d son of Maine who spends part of each year in the state, says: Tt is well to bear in mind, when you hear arguments for resubmission, who the parties are that are asking for the repeal of this law. It is not the temperance organizations, not the churches, not the school teachers. not the women, not the sober. industrious and disinterested classes. nor the citizens of the state at large. who feel that their rights are endangered by this law so that they must ask for its repeal" Jonh D. Long further says Prohibition is not a failure
 The senators and members of con gress from the state of Maine uphold the rrOhibitory law of the state. If prohibition were a failure in Maine the entire liquor trade of the country would not be arrayed against it, spending large sums of money in newspaper broadsides like the one in question and in numerous other ways. well known to themselves as well as to prohibitiOnists in an effort to over throw prohibition.
 The statements made by Sheriff Pennell of Cumberland county. in re- gard to liquor selling in Maine and the low character of the people of the state. are discredited by well inform ed, fair minded people. and for these statements he has been widely con- demned through the press of the state and in other public ways.
 The statement that The Sturgis
Arizona republican., 1908-04-10

law has failed to close even one place that was open prior to the passage of the law is untrue. However. it may be true in different sense from the one intended Dy JnIs document, for there were ana are no open saloons in Portland in the same sense that they are open in license states; but imme- diately upon the passage of the Sur gis bill Sheriff Pennell proceeded to close up some of the secret dives he had previously permitted and pro- tected.
 The assertion that there are very few homes of wealthy or even pros porous men in Maine that do not have whiskey on the sideboard, is a gross libel on the citizenship of the state.
 The scandalous statements concern ing conditions in Maine cities are so vile and untrue that a refutation is uncalled for. The squads of sol diers as drunk as they can be are seen on the streets of Portland every night" is false according to the chief of pO- lice of the city of Portland. with whom I have talked today.
 The fight for resubmission' >as presented in this article is similar to other misrepresentations and false hooCs. As a sample, it is stated that Mir Kelly of Lewiston, a prominent advocate of resubmissiOn in the Maine house of representatives, was. at the time the resolution was presented, president of the Y. NJ. C. A. in Lewis ton. The truth is. MT. Kelly was nev- CT d member, much less the president of an- Y M. C. A.
 The statement that The Greatest liquor business in the state of Maine is conducted by the various express companies" is nearer true than any other statement in the extensive pro- liquor document, for that is one of the prohibitorys law. The analysis of the makeup of seventeen of these bogus express companies reveals the fact that they are largely officered by men who have been convicted of violating the Maine prohibitory jaw We have good reason to believe that the Unit ed States congress will very soon en- act law regulating interstate com merce, a law that will stop further vio- lations of this kind.
 The pictures in this document are very misleading. For example, a pie ture purporting to be RumfoTd Falls. ] with these descriptive words, "A Ram shackle. junk heap sort of city. thrown together in a hurry" The truth is that Rumford Falls is a thriving village. ! with many fine residences, an unusu- ally handsome park, good churches, l good school houses. good business ' houses, and one of the largest paper , factories in the world. The prohibit | tory law is well enforced in Rumford | Falls. Recently William c. Dupont, | treasurer of one of the bogus express companies. was arrested for soliciting | liquor orders in Rumford Falls.
 Because the prohibitory law inter- feres with the liquor trade at Rum 1 ford Falls and everywhere in the | state of Maine. frantic efforts are be- ing made by the liquor interest to prove that prohibition has a damaging i effect upon a community, while quite {; the contrary is true. It is a benefit to every community and to the entire state of Maine.

The word Republican" appears to have been written with d different kind Of ink from that used in the body of the card. The cards have presum- ably been prepared in blank 10 be fill ed out and sent to the different news papers.
 In the cases of two Of these cards the men came to Phoenix in the after noon One said that he had no wish to stop his paper and that he had come to town to say that he would like to have no attention paid to the postal card He said it had been sent with his permission though he had not signed it. He said he had been called upon by a delegation, one mem Der of which he admitted after a guess had been made. He declined to say who the other members were. He had consented to the sending of the card in order that he might not of fend the delegation, knowing that he was not going to be deprived of The Republican anyhow.
 The other man was not a subscrib CT of the paper. though he said yes terday that as soon as he became es- tablished in a new location, to which he is about to move he will become one. He. too had been approached by the boycotters who haG already pre- pared the card to be sent and only wanted his sanction to jsn act which would otherwise have been criminal forgery. As he was not on the sub scription list. this gentleman figured that The Republican would lose noth- ing by taking his name o1t of II. If his consent to the mailing of the card would do the boycotters any good he reasoned that it could do nobody else
