failed, SO now they propose to dl-

THE MAINE W. c. T. U. Will
Act WELL IT'S PART.
! At our State w. c. T. u. Con.
vention which met in Portland
last September soon after the
state election, we realized that
we were in danger of catching
Resubmission but determined to
do all we could to keep it away,
even as we would try to keep out
of our families any dread conta-
glon to which they might be ex-
posed working to keep it away
but at the same time preparing
for it should it come. / cannot
believe, / do not believe that the
Maine Legislature will vote for
Resub omission, but should it so
vote, the Maine w. G. T. u, is
ready to act well its part.for the
up-holding and retention Of our
Prohibitory law. Standing in
line with us are noble men and
women of the state, the clergy,
the churches, the Changers, the
Maine Sunday School Associa-
ton and all other righteous
forces which truly represent the
highest and hottest interests Of
the home and we shall win.
THE MERCHANTS, GRocERs AND
SHOE DEALERS ARE AGAINST
RESUBMIsSIoN.
The remonstrances which are
in your hands are forceful in
hication of the sentiment of the
people of Maine. Let me anal
ize one of these sent from pros
porous village, and it is very like
the other remonstrances. 1t
bears the names of the pastors of
the churches, the superintend-
ent of schools, the Sunday school
superintendent, the deacons,
the grocers, the dry goods mer-
chant, the fish dealer, the post
master, the jeWeler, the barber,
the dentist, the shoe dealer.
These people do not want the sa-
loon next to their homes, next
to their churches or Sunday
schools, next to their places of
business. They not only ask
for protection from the saloon
for themselves but for all with
in the borders of the state, and
the remonstrance bears the
names of women, daughters,
sisters, wives, mothers-mothers
who shudder at the the thought
OF the licensed saloon being set
up between the home and the
schoolhouse. One such mother
returning the well-fi1led remon-

ly sign the remonstrace, 1t
would have more names had the
travelling not been so bad. One
day | walked about ten miles
over the hard icy roads but l
was happy to do it to help keep
license out of Maine" All, gen.
tlemen of the Committee, the
women of Maine, ballotless
though we are, are entitled to
your consideration. We are sa-
credly in earnest. We do not
mind hard roads, hard words,
hard work, if only the pathway
OF life can be safe from the pitt
falls of the legalized liquor traf-
fic with all of its allied evils. We
will continue to work and to
plead, and today our faith is vic
torious over all our fears, and
for the sake of the home, for the
sake of humanity we plead with
you to repeat that the Resub-
mission bill ought not to pass.
The Constitution of the pro-
posed State of Arizona, as adopt

whom was a wholesale liquor

besides half dozen more who
were indirectly Interested ~
