and when they returned to the

time they did not know me. AS

them to Maine.
Il do not believe in a prohibi-

coincidence both states are
using the initiative this year on
the prohibition questions but
here the similarity ends.
1t is a startling fact that
Maine, which has had the longest
experience in prohibition of any
state in the Union, is trying to
get rid Of it and adopt local OPP
ton in its place at the very time
we are asked to abandon local
option here and try the expert
ment of statewide prohibition.
In view of this it may be well
for us to find out the reasons that
made statewide prohibition I'M
satisfactory in Maine so as to
profit by their experience,
When | campaigned for the
referendum in that state | met
the leaders of every description
and the general %concensus of opin
ion was that it had been impoSsi-
BILE to enforce the prohibition law
where the local sentiment was
largely against it.
The most intelligent tenn
perance leaders admitted to me
that it was a mistake to force
prohibition on a community that
was hostile to it; that to do so re
tarded the cause of temperance
and was detrimental to its best
interests.
That the failure of the law to-
be enforced created a condition
far worse than the licensed sa-
loon ever was. The saloon
keeper under license could be
regulated and controlled by law
but the dive-keeper under pro-
hibition, conscious that he was a
law-breaker, threw overheard ev-
cry restraint and was ready to
break every law.
The conditions in the large cit
les of Maine We're appalling. Ad-
miral Evans (Fighting Bob pub
declared that there was no
place in the world where he
dreaded so much to have his
sailors go on shore as at Port
Maine, under prohibition.
So it has happened that the
people of Maine have learned
actual, practical experience
(Which after all is the best teach
err that it was a mistake to try
to legislate a general law for com
munities so widely dissimilar in
every respect as their large cities
and the rural counties.
For this reason they wish to
adopt a local option, so as to al
low each community to determine
for itself what is best suited to
their local needs.
Their experience has been that
where the local majority DEGREES
prohibition, they also back up
the law with a sound public opin-
ion and provide the officials and
the juries to enforce it.
But where prohibition is impos-
ed by an outside authority, like
the state, on a community that
is hostile to it, then the local Of
ficials respond to the local senti-
ment and refuse to enforce the
law and we have an aggravation
Of the very evil we are trying to
mitigate. with the addition Of
wholesale law violations. For
this reason, local option has been
a success in this and other states
and has proved a practical and
satisfactory solution of the pro-
hibition question in fact, the
only system that has worked at
all.
Personally, | never use intoxi
in any form and have al
ways favored the cause of So
and temperance. am
therefore in a position to say
