Rum Trust Fslsehoods and snsers.

They go on repeating the same OLD
lies, unblushingly, in the face OF the
evidence to the contrary, that condi-
.tions are as bad in Maine as in license
states. It is presumed they hope to
reach some ignorant soul who is wav-
ering on the path toward right Here
is a specimen:
I =. Can we not regulate for the moral and
material uplift of this State, condi-
ton which public sentiment is not yet
ready TO abolish?'
Maine would be very glad to turn
ner moral and material uplift" over
f.. to the rum trust and it's highly moral
Z and more highly material organs to
regulate" if they can show any spot
ON Gods earth where they have
regulated anything but rum trust
desires doubled, tripled, quadrupled,
increased twenty fold the rum sales,
crime, insanity and poverty.
> That is what they are after-bigger
rum sales and more money for adj
yertising and doing the business. That
Is the kind of business that prospers
under a rum regime-the rum BUSH
ness-and no other. They tell you
that license or any other rum-trust-
approved plan Increases business, and
: it does increase the rum business
that is why they are fighting for it.
They tell you brazenly, despite sta
tistics to the contrary in almost every
home, that the prohibtory law does not
reduce the traffic but that local option
will regulate it, and that the sentiment
of the public is not ready to abolish
the rum traffic.
In every proposition is unfounded
sfalsehood. Just for a moment con-
slider who are representing the liquor
interests in your community and who
are opposed to free rum How do they
compare in character and numbers,
OF course some good men have beer
misled, but as whole, what do yol
think of the contrast Would you ear,
to leave the moral and material up
lift of your family, your town, you
country or your State to these anti
prohibition men as a class?
Would you care to have the mora
and material uplift' of your com
