DuFllR Inc dglLdClON IOT TeSuDHlloSlOIl
the past few years the generally ex-
pressed opinion of Republicans and
Democrats alike has been that decided
majority for prohibition was assured
whenever the question was referred to
the people. We believe, however, that
the Democratic leaders were as insin-
cere in expressing that opinion as they
have been in regard to enforcement.
On the stump and elsewhere they have
declared that though opposed to prohibit
ton they were in favor of strict enforce
inert of the law while it remained on
the statute book, but when they
have had the power to make good this
declaration they have failed to do SO.
They have advocated resubmission with
the hope that, by hook or by crook, they
might attain the end they have in view
a license law, or free rum. The result
of the State election last September has
afforded them great encouragement.
The rum question was an important if
not a conspicuous issue in the campaign.
Indeed, preparations to open saloons
were begun as soon as the Democratic
victory was announced. The election of
Governor, State officers and practically
all the county officers, with the appoint
ments since made, has given the party
in power great advantage in the COM
ing contest and of which it will not be
slow to avail itself. There will be no
lack of money on their side. If, as gen.
orally reported, and believed, the brew
ers contributed 5000 to the Plaisted
campaign fund they can well afford to
multiply those figures by ten to defeat
prohibition. What they have to sell is
more bulky than the hard liquors and
therefore less adapted to surreptitious
sales. They have thus been practically
barred out of Maine and are anxious to
gain admission. Thus the friends of
temperance have arrayed against them
the Democratic party as party-there
are, of course, temperance Democrats
as we'll as rum Republicans-th liquor
dealers and the brewers. On the other
hand, the prohibition forces have no party
organization behind them, and they
must provide their own munitions of
war. 1t is an unequal contest. But the
temperance forces are fighting for the
honor, the material and moral welfare of
the State, and should prevail against all
the odds that can be brought against
them. Maine is just now entering upon
an era of industrial and agricultural de-
velopment that promises great and in
creasing prosperity in the near future.
A rum victory at this time would impair
the credit of the State and deal blow
to her moral and material interests from
which she would not recover for a de-
cade

The Waterville Sentinel, Mayor Pat
cangall and H. N. Pringle have been the
participants in triangular controversy,
on which the Independent Reporter COM
ments as follows:
The only real significance to the whole
controversy is the all-round admission
that the Elks, Eagles and Owls clubs of
Waterville are, or at least have been,
maintaining liquor nuisances. U. S. Ii
eenses have been taken out by them all,
and the general opinion is that the clubs
would not long survive a cessation of
their liquor selling. We call attention to
these places only because we believe that
they and their kind constitute the great
est menace to the maintenance Of the
prohibitory law. Nearly all the promi-
nent men of Waterville belong to some
one of them. What must the working
men Of that city think when they see the
business and professional men enjoying
the privilege Of buying liquor to drink at
will, while places such as they could
patronize are suppressed? Could such
conditions possibly make friends for pro-
hibition?
