Governor PIais.ed's Views.

To the Editor of the Journal: We
read recently in the Bangor News n
statement of Gov. PlaIsted's views on
the liquor question. In which ii was
said that he firmly believes nine
tenths of the young men of the STATE
will vote to have the prohibitions
amendment taken out of the constitu-
ton. Why? Because the young men
want something else to think of be-
sides the rum question, and because
the time is at hand when the young
men are going to develop the resoure-
es of the State. but first they have to
got this law out Of the wa.
This it seems is the Governors
theory. Now why couldn't Those
young aen think of something els,
besides that law. and why couldn
the resources of the state he developed
With the law on the statute books? II
the young men are not brilliant
enough to have more than one idea IN
their heads at a time. ~: cdnnot begin
to develop the States resources d.
long as this law Is on the statu.S
books, 1t seems to me that te1y won't
develop them a great ways if it is re-
moved. Every man who votes against
prohibition on September 18th, is a
traitor to his State. his family ana
himself. The children of today arc
going To curse their fathers in years
to come if those fathers vote for the
licensed saloon. Ii will be a disgrace
to the good old State of Maine, and
/ should think that even the Demo-
Gratis would hesitate before they put
such stigma on their administration
