notice" on the Friends Of the Pro-
hibitory Law.

In the battle that is now "n we
must recognize
list That we are L. have arrayed
against us not merely the anti prohi
bition sentiment of our fellow citizens
of Maine. but the allied and combined
resources Of the liquor interests of the
entire country. from the Golden Gate
to Quoddy Head. and from the Lakes
To the Gull.
The most significant victory that
the saloon could imagine would be
the reversal OF prohibition by the one
oft quoted state in which il has been
tried for n half-century. To bring
about that issue no means will he left
untried. The most eloquent oratory.
the most powerful editorials and
newspaper articles that can be secured
on the saloon side of the question will
he let loose upon us. while all the
money that can he used for campaign
purposes will be freely sent into the
state. Every community has its
quota OF men whose votes can he
bought These will be easily able to
market their vote-cr"p this year, and
on practically their own terms.
In the debate in the Senate, sena-
tor claimed that the wholesale liquor
interests do not FAVOR resuhission
but prohibition.
We are not in the interests of the
saloon. he said, speaking for the ad-
voeates of resubmission. When every
saloon man in Maine is in favor OF
the prohibitory law. think there is
something wrong about 1t. When
the liquor dealers III Boston are III
favor OF the prohibiterN law, think
there is something rotten in IT. W"
confess To an inability to understand
talk like this from III" state house side
of the liver; it sounds NOR" like what
is to he expected from tn" stone
buildings east OF the k"nnebec. The
senator knows. or he does not know
that tn" liquor interests throughout
the country are throwing their Who'll"
might against the enactment and en-
forcement OF prohibit"ry laws. If
he knows this and Yet speaks as he
did the other day. h" Is guilty et try
ing TO deceive the people, II ne does
lot know H. he Is convicted of mex
cusable ignorance. In the mind OF
him who keeps his eyes open there
can be no question as To the align
ment on this question of prohibition.
1t is the organized saloon against the
prohibitory law every time and every
where.
There is one other thing which pos
sioly is more to be feared. in the COM
