The temperance people and Others in
Lewiston and Auburn are beginning To
wonder what sort of enforcement pol
icy is to be carried out by the Demo-
cratic administration. At the present
time a wide open" policy seems to be
in vogue and it is said that all kinds of
stuff from beer to champagne may be
obtained at any of the first class
shops in Lewiston. According to re-
ports similar conditions exist in all
Maine citieS.-Lewiston Sun.
The promises before the September
election that Maine would be made as
dry as covered bridge" We're for
political purposes only, but no doubt
got the votes of some temperance peo-
pie. The rum element took these
promises at their real value and voted
the Democratic ticket. The work of
fitting up bars and laying in stocks of
liquors began as soon as the election
returns We're in, and with few excep-
tion wide open policy prevails
throughout the State. This is only
what was to be expected. and the Won
der is that any should have been de-

the program now talked of at the White
