John Adams a Poor loser.

John Adams. second president OF the
United States. was not a good loser.
He wanted another term, and worked
hard for it. None Of the candidates
received a majority OF the electoral
votes, and the election was thrown in
to the House of Representatives. But
Adams had no chance there. for he was
third in the race, and only the two
having the highest number of electoral
votes could be voted for. Thus the
choice lay between Jefferson and Burr.
and Jefferson won. Adams was very
much ~disgruntled and did everything
in his power to make things unpieas-
ant for his successor. He filled every
vacant office he could lay his hands
on, so as to leave as little patronage
as possible for Jefferson. Not only so.
but in the closing hour of his admin
istration he and his party associates
created % new ju~dgeships, for which
there was no necessity. and worked till
the stroke Of midnight on March 3,
filling out and signing commissions for
these midnight judges as they were
called.

License or Prohibition.
B. c. JORDAN

TO THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL:
(Which shall it be License or Prohibi-
tion?'' That is the question which con-
fronts US in the State of Maine today.
The issue Of resubmission is accomplish
ed. For several reasons it was inevita-
BILE. The combinations of various shades
of sentiments to that end made refer
endum to the people the only method of
settling the question. The liquor inter-
ests claim it as their victory and declare
that the people are dissatisfied with Pro-
hibition and desire return to some form
of license. And to that end, inside and
outside of the State, every effort will be
made to accomplish that purpose The
fact that many who acceded to the de-
mand for resubmission did so for the
avoWed purpose of settling the question,
which had become matter of political
strife as we'll as social discord, will not
for moment be allowed by the license
forces. They will claim the whole thing
as a demand for license. We are then
facing the fiercest local social contest of
the generation. The question at issue
affects the prosperity of our State social
ly. educationally, morally and politically,
not only for the present but for long
years to come. 1t is an issue of far
greater Importance than any other be-
fore our people at this time. 1t is an is
sue on which as intelligent citizens of an
enlightened commonwealth we cannot
consistently remain neutral. Every sem
timent of honor, of manhood, of moral
and enlightened intelligence, demands
that we come out into the open and face
the conflict into which we have been I'M
willingly drawn. We must accept de-
feat or achieve victory according as we
face this issue. And probably one of the
greatest dangers which confronts US to-
day is the indolent, unthinking manner
in which we may receive the responsible
ity which has been cast upon us.
Relying fully upon the honor of our
people, proud of their moral intelli-
gence and of their financial acumen,
there is danger that the case may go by
default because of lack of appreciation
of the actual danger of the situation.
For over fifty years the liquor traffic has
been an outlaw. 1t has not been consid-
cred by our people, or the law of the
State, as thing of responsibility or of
decency. With all the disgraceful eva
sions in its enforcement by dishonest
officials the law has stood as protection
to the State at large. And thus protect
ed large portion of our people have lit
tie idea of what the licensing of the
traffic means when it menaces their own
homes or their own community. It is
an awakening of our people that is need
ed; an active appreciation of the danger
which we are facing and of the necessity
for an organized defence against the as
saults which we shall receive from both
within and without our State. This is
sue in which we are involved in the State
of Maine means National issue to the
liquor combinations. Whether we wish it
or not, whether we believe it or not, we
are up against the hardest fight in our
history, and our various organizations

LAW OR LIQUOR.
Vote to Sustain the Amendment.

vote TO sustain the Amendment.
IS To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL:
Twenty-seven years ago the 5th Amend
ment to the Constitution was adopted to
take the question of Prohibition or Ii
,cense out of politics and settle.it for all
time. 1t had that effect tfor 20 years.
Within the last six years, the saloon in
terest has been very anxious to give the
people chance to be heard. y They have
been very anxious to trust. the people,
very anxious to take the question out Of
politics, and let the peoples:settle it.
They have succeeded, and the people are
to decide next September whether the
prohibitory amendment shall be sus-
tanned or repealed. All this is done to
get the question out of politics3and let
the people settle it,
Now, how shall we, the people, vote?
If we decide to sustain1the 9Th Amend
ment, which has worked so we'll for the
last twenty-seven years, is not the ques-
ton settled? Is it not out ofspolitics?
What political, religious, reform, or sa-
loon party can say or do anything about
it? Prohibition is in the Constitution,
and cannot be gotten out. License is out
and cannot possibly get in. Is not the
whole question settled by the, people for
a generation, at least?
On the other hand ..how''will it be if we
decide next September to repeal the 5th
Amendment, and open the door for Pro-
hibition or License. as ithe majority Of
the legislature may happen to vote? Is
the whole question thenysettled? Is it
then out of politics? Will there not be a
fierce contention in every State political
convention over the question sof party
platform, and candidates, whether they
shall be prohibition or license or nom
committal? The same fghtiwilI be seen
in all the county conventions. There
will be constant struggle in all the rep
resentative districts to elect members
who will vote for prohibition. or slicense.
Now if there are any men in either party
in the State who are more interested in
politics than in temperance, and who
don't care much whether prohibition or
license is voted up or down, and who are
tired of this eternal talk about rum, is
not here the chance of lifetime to set
tie this question once and for all, cy vot-
ing to sustain the amendment as it is?
On the other hand, is not this the chance
to open wide the door for a perpetual
wrangle by voting to change the Consti-
tuition?
The voters Of the State have got to de-
eide next September whether we will
close the door to the saloon interest for
another quarter of a century or more, or
whether we will open wide the door to
license and say to the saloon interest,
Come in if you can, but understand we
shall fight you, day and night, and pre-
vent your coming in if we can" OurCon-
stitution now closes the door against the
saloon interest. Will we keep it closed
and rest in peace and safety, or will we
open it wide and stand day and night to
prevent them from coming in?

Pres ident has offered him the appoint
ment as United States marshal and
that Moores has refused the place. But
the President is understood to have in
vited to come to Washington and talk
over. the marshalship with him. and
that the President will be governed
largely by what Moores tells him. 1t
is said also that Harry S. New and
James P Goodrich have been invited
to Washington, but it is understood
that neither Will go. Mr.. New says he
is not going and that he does not in
tend to mix the fight. Friends of
Goodrich also say that he feels that
under the circumstances this is a good
time to stay away from Washington
1t is pointed out that the present
situation has been caused by the de-
lay in making the appointment as
marshal The longer the appointment
is delayed it is pointed out, the more
difficult it will be to solve the prob
lem.
The number of candidates for
marshal increases day by day. Edwin
