Facts About the recent Maine
Election. What Fighting
Bob" Evans Think About
it. Views of DR.. VIII
liam Preston Hall.

When the State of Maine, after
being continuously Republican in
State matters for thirty years
and in National elections for
more than fifty years, went Dem
Ocratic at the recent election,
September -, 1910, the strong
est deciding factor was the pro-
hibitiOn issue.
This was largely the issue on
which the Democratic party made
its fight. The Republican party
in Maine stood for strict laws
preventing the sale of liquor and
other rigid laws for their en-
forcement over the heads of local
officials.
The Democratic party assert
ed hat prohibition was
both a failure and a.
farce; that under it the surrep-
titious sale of liquors had %increas-
ed to an enormous extent; that
arrests for selling liquor and for
drunkenness had continuously
increased; that "blind tigers
and dives had multiplied that
a large share of the traffic had
been driven from the saloon in
to the home, and that prohibition
was productive of corruption and
hypocrisy.
Statistics gathered by an
administration favorable to
prohibition were presented to
the voters, and a majority of vo-
ters decided that they would
have no more Of prohibition.
These statistics showed:
That in twenty-Seven of the
large centres Of Maine there were
for years 903 saloons doing an
open liquor business.
That when the State admins
tration sent deputies to close up
these saloons the sale of liquor
was driven into private homes
and has gone on there to a great
extent.
That in 1909 there were 707
persons, both men and women,
committed for running saloons,
kitchen bars" or otherwise sell
ing liquor.
That in the same year 1909
persons were committed for in
~toxication.
That these arrests were only a
fraction of the total extent of
liquor selling and intoxication,
and that a large proportion of
the arrests for liquor selling were
Of those selling liquor in private
homes.
That of the total of 6,646 per-
sons committed to Jail in Maine
in 1909 for all offenses, not less
than one-half, or 1868 were
sentenced for intoxication.
That nearly all the liquor sold
was the worst kind of whisky,
brandy and kin, adulterated and
misbranded and often poisoned.
The records Of the Supreme Jud-
icial Court of Maine proved this.
That there are eighteen express
companies organized and run for
the sole purpose Of transporting
and selling whiskey.
That enormous quantities Of
liquor came into the State by
express and freight. In the
city of Portland, from 600 to
500 gallons Of whiSkey arrived
by freight every morning and
even in cities of only 1,50O in
habitants fifty quarts of whiskey
came by express every day.
That the rural region were
likewise filled with liquor sell
ing by pocket peddlors, the
ordering of liquor by express and
an enormous consumption Of hard
cider.
That there was scarcely a
drug store in tine State which
did not sell liquor. or the total
number of arrests a considerable

A Meeting Of Old Friends.

A Meeting Of Old Friends.
Habersham's men had proved ex-
ceedingly timid when 1t came to the
business of threshing the woods for
Appleweight, whom they regarded
with a new awe, now that he had van
ished so mysteriously. They had
searched the woods guardedly. but the
narrow paths that led away into the
dim Businesses of Ardsley were for
bidding, and these men were not with
out their superstitions. They had
awaited for years an opportunity to
strike at the Appleweight faction;
they had at last taken their shot. and
had seemingly brought down their
bird; but their lack Of spirit in re-
trieving the game had been their I'M
