his nomination. Tax reform also enters
into the question. but resubmission is
the great and overwhelming issue.
For so years Maine has been trying to
legislate temperance into its citizens.
but even the more candid of the prohi-
bitionists admit that the attempt has
been a failure. While many small towns
are dry" all of the larger cities are as
wet as in any license state. the only diff
ference being that bad liquor is sold Un-
der some pretense of secrecy at an ex-
horbitant price.
The democrats are almost a unite in
demanding resubmission of the prohi-
bition question, and that fact may cause
the the republican leaders to decide
on an opposite stand in tomorrow's con-
yention. The session will be held in the
big auditorium. which will doubtless be
crowded with delegates and spectators.
Early in his campaign Mr.. Haines
declared himself in favor of resubmis-
sion. Mr.. Fernald has declared him
self opposed to resubmissiOn. Upon one
side or. the other are arrayed individu-
ais. clubs. societies. newspapers, poll
ticians. churches. every interest and in
fiuence that exists in Maine.
The churches and conferences and
sunday schools have passed resolu-
tions supporting Mr. Fernald's posi-
ton likewise the temperance clubs and

women prohibitionists has declared IN
favor OF Mr.. HaineS.

women prohibitionists has declared III
favor Of Mr. Haines.
The arguments for and against re
submission can be briefly stated
Those who favor resubmission say
that in the first place it is 25 years
since the people have had an opportu-
nifty of expressing themselves upon the
subject. and that in that time condl-
tions have changed and views may al
SO have changed. Many or most OF the
supporters of the proposition including
Mr.. Haines himself, say that they be-
lieve in prohibition, and that they are
confident that the people would reaf1rm
their adherence to the principles, thus
establishing the law more firmly than
ever as a part of Names political and
moral code, and by taking the question
out Of politics for long term of years
would make possible and probable a
better enforcement of the law.
Opponents Of resubmission declare
that it is but device to break down the
constitutional barrier that now protects
it from constant assaults in the leg1sla-
ture and that the present agitation is
merely the first step toward license, in
spired by liquor dealers and selfish pol
iticians
A peculiar thing about all this dis
cuSsiOn is that it would matter very
little which candidate was chosen as
governor, so far as the settlement of
the question is concerned 1t would re-
quire a two thirds vote of the legisla-
ture to get the question of sustaining or
repeating the fifth amendment before
the people, and so the only means Of
accomplishing the referendum is to
elect at least 101 of the ISL members of
the house of representatives and 21 Of
the 81 members of the senate favorable
to the project.
Mr.. BOothby, the third candidate
merely observes that it is the legisla-
ture that makes and unmakes laws
that the governor is the executive, and
that if elected he would execute all OF
the laws to the best of his ability.
Those seeking reforms he commends to
the legislature.
