ment that Shields got about $4,000 out

Wiehe said he had Shields come to
Chicago about ten days ago in order to
ask him If he had experienced much
trouble in locating the witnesses. Wiehe
denied that he wanted more informa

contended that the Witnesses should be

asked how he would suggest controlling

Hines Story Untrue.

Mr.. Aldrich also denied that he told
Hines that he considered Lorimer the
only man who could be elected, He
said he did not ask Senator Penrose to
bring Hines to consult with him in re-
gard to the Illinois election, and added
that he did not believe Senator Pen
rose brought Hines to his room.
The regular procedure of the com
mlttee was interrupted to allow. Mr..
Aldrich to take the stand He shook
hands with members of the committee,
taking particular pains to greet Senator
Lorimer, who listened to his testimony.
Hines had testified that Aldrich sent
for him about May !. 1909, to ask about
the possibility OF the Illinois legislature
electing a senator; that eventually, after
repeated conferences, Aldrich lad asked
him to urge Lorimer 10 become sena-
torial candidate and that after n night
conference at the white house Mr.. Aldrlch
had returned to his home, where Hines
was waiting. and told Hines TO inform
Governor Denccn that the administration
was anxious 10 have the senate vacancy
filed and believed Lorimer could be
elected.

Boutells Repuolicanism."
The next conversation. Mr.. Aldrich said
was about May 20.
MIR. Hines then told me-" said Mr.
Aldrich. that II was impossible to agrec
on Boutcll and that he believed there
was a possibility OF agreeing on Lorimer.
He was anxious TO know the attitude OF
the president toward Mr.. Lorimer. ! told
him i would give him an answer later
Later In the day l told him Mr.. Lor,mer's s
candidacy would not be Objectionable to
the president"
Then" continued Mr.. Aldrich, Mr..
Hines asked me 4! I would say that to
anyone who inquired Of me. told him
that l would say that Mr.. Lorimer's can
didacy was not Objectionable to the presi-
dent ! said the president occupied the
same position that he had; that he did
not intend 10 take any part in the cIcc-
ton. and that Mr.. Lorimers Republican
Ism was satisfactory to the presiden'."
Mr.. Aldrich was asked about Mr.. Hines
testimony that Mr.. Aldrich said Lorlner
was the only man who could be elected
Il could not have said that" replied
Mr.. Aldrich. because l knew nothing
about the Illinois situation"

Fails to Remember.

He had no recollection OF Hines COM
ing 10 the senate office building to see
Aldrich In regard TO the Lorimer candida
ey, nor Of asking Hines to go 10 the white
house TO wait until he saw the president
Hines had testified to ali these points
Mr. Aldrich said that after his talk with
the president about Lormer Hines was
at his house to get 4 report Mr.. Aldrich
said this was about or o'clock that
evening, but he was not positive Hines
said it Was about midnight
''Did you tell Mr.. Hines that a Republi-
can senator from Illinois was needed?"
"As a matter of fact, as far as The tar
IN was concerned. We were better off with
vacancy than with senator. With a
vacancy we needed only &c for major
ity; with him We needed A."
Mr.. Aldrich said he never had any
knowledge OF Loriner's attitude IN the
tariff, He said he considered Lorimer a
good Republican.
What is your idea OF good Republi-
cam inquired Senator Kenyon.

president and the administration and has

Statewide prohibition. and against the

of Christie nifty. which seeks to con-
troll our State To its disgrace and ruin
a threat to our liberties a menace to
our safety, it is lifting up its head
and pressing its claims at the very
seat of our State government. Men OF
Maine, claim your birthright and rally
around our standard and drive out this
enemy TO our peace and safety, as you,
the bravest men who ever lived, who
never turned back to the foe, have raj
lied around our flag in time of war

ance that every voter in our beloved

The Legal Side of Il.

Editor kennebec journal:
Many of the voters of Maine who will
cast their votes on Monday next for the
repeal of the Prohibtory Amendment in
the Constitution of Maine, have but little
idea of the wicked results which will
surely follow in the event of its repeal
have been a member of the bar for
nearly 50 years. One-half of that time
have resided in two local option states
have seen the working of local OPP
ton law. ] have seen the working of
the prohibitory law in two prohibition
states | unhesitatngly say that an aw-
full mistake viii be made if the repeal of
the prohibitory amendment is permitted
on Monday next, whether socially. finan-
cially or in any other way which tends
for the betterment of our State Every
voter should think twice before he
votes for the repeal.
Mr.. Voter get this question out of poll
tics by voting NO and give the politi-
clans of all the parties notice that you
expect all of the Offices of the law to see
that ALL the laws of this State are ex-
ecuted in accordance to the oath of office
taken. AS soon as the politicians awake
to the fact that the plain people have a
voice in the enforcement of ALL of the
laws without regard to fear or favor,
then will be the dawn of a great advance
ment in the development of the vast re-
sources of this beautiful State. Mr.
Voter. do you know that the Governor
is sworn TO see that all the laws OF this
state are observed? 20 you know that
there are 16 counties in this State and 10
different men to act as sheriffs to see
that the laws of all kinds are complied
with? Do you know that there never
has been n sheriff removed by Cover
nor? Do you know that section 10 of Ar
tcle nine of the Constitution of Maine
prevents the Governor from removing
a sheriff from Office even If he fails to do
his duty? He may resign IL he chooses
so to do.
One thing | would suggest that at the
next Legislature an amendment to sec
ton 10 of Article of the Constitution
of Maine be submitted to the voters, the
amendment to provide for the removal of
any sheriff from office by the Governor
for non-performance of his duties in of
fee In my opinion if this amendment
had been made years ago there would
be less talk about non-enforcement of
the liquor law or of any of the other
laws of this State.
believe all good citizens of this State
should bend their united forces to up
lift Maine I believe this question of
prohibition should be settled emphatically
for law and for order.
The employer does not want the saloon
The prosperous wage Garner does not
want the saloon.
The thrifty citizen does not want the

The church does not want the saloon.
The school does not want the saloon.

does not want the saloon.
