whisky power of the country has been
fighting it at every election, this year
harder than ever. 1t is not to be de-
MED that whisky Is sold in Maine; but
the fact that the state is not willing
to legalize the sale, has given the whis-
ky people no end of concern. This Is
especially true, because of the custom
Of Prohibitionists elsewhere to hold up
the state of Maine as a shining exam
pie. If the amendment had been re-
pealed in the election last Monday, 1t
Is safe to say that the circumstance
would have been trumpeted In every
nook and corner of the country as evil
dence Of the complete collapse Of the
prohibition sentiment. 1t is estimated
that the whisky interests of the United
States spent more than a million dol
lars in the campaign just closed, and
the wonder is not that the election was
SO close; but that the amendment tri-
umphed at all.

The hope has several times ben eX-
pressed that no candidate other than
Messrs. Blease and Jones will offer in
the race for governor. We cannot see
why. 1t is presumably fair and open
race for whoever desires to enter, and
the people can as surely make their
choice between a dozen as between only
two. If Judge Jones and Governor
Blease prove the stronger in the first
primary, then they will run to a finish
in the second. If some other candidate
proves stronger than either of these,
then, it will be between him and one of
them or some other man for the Sec
ond race. Why it should be argued
that circumstances or conditions have
changed so as to exclude any or every
body else from this race, we do not see.
