Colonel Fred n. Dow, son of the late
General Neal Dow, the father of the
Maine prohibitory law, said;
"A wet victory is indicated. This
was secured mostly through the CO.
operation of the major part of the Re
publican machine with the Democratic
organization. In counties where pro-
hibttion has been best enforced it was
best sustained"
Statewide primaries, another ques-
ton voted upon, was favored by An
droscoggin county. the only county on
which complete figures are available,
by 6102 to 1,6l7.
Story of Prohibition.
Neal Dow, a Portland Quaker sent
to the Maine legislature in 1857, be-
gan temperance crusade. His work
resulted in the Democrats passing a
statute providing for statewide pro-
hibition. His work in Maine made him
the idol of temperance workers all
through the country.
For more than a quarter of a CEN
tury the state had been sailing along
under statutory statewide prohibition,
and the people liked it so well that
they concluded to make it permanent.
So they put it beyond the reach of a
passing popular whim by making it
the dominating feature of the states
organic law.
The voters in Maine yesterday were
driven by mighty force unknown in
Neal Dow's day. The old law was
registered by population of native
born New Englanders, men who fear
ed God, reverenced the enactments of
the people, and went to the Congze-
gational church when they weren't
Baptists.
Today the foreign element is multi
plying with alarming rapidity. Lewis
ton stands second to WOonsocket on
the list of French speaking cities in
the United States Bangor is a pell-
nell of all sorts of men.
These people do not believe in total
abstinence prohibiuonist is to
them what holy roller is to the or
binary college professor fanatic.
The naturalized foreigner sees no
reason %vhy he shouldn't drink-and
he possesses vote Portland and
Bangor became studded with unli-
censed joints. They defied the law so
openly that the people said the law
less traffic enjoyed the protection of
the authorities. Under the shadow Of
the interstate commerce law the mail
order liquor dealers smuggled liquor
into the state by the trainloads- Ex-
press companies found their delivery
orders doubled. And what was not
gotten from the outside was made in
distilleries. as abundant as
the caves in the states pine forests
When the modern Puritans saw the
law had become nullity their ardor
for prohibition grew cooled. Many of
the ablest and most religious men have
declared lately against the law. They
saw it was not enforced. They did
not believe it could be or would be en-
forced.

THE RACES ARE EXCELLENT.
Horses Are Fast and Track in Good
Shape.

Three harness and three running
races entertained a big first day crowd
at the opening of the Kansas state
fair track in Topeka Monday. The
track, although rather slow for the
wheels on account of recent rains was
cushioned in good shape for the run
ming events and two local track rec
ords were smashed With no more
rains the track will be worked down
to tip-top surface for the trots and
PAGES.
The local track marks were erased
in the seven and the four and half
furlong running races. Jack Witt un-
der the straddle of McCammOn nosed
out all corners in the seven run and
made the distance 1929 fiat. The old
record was 1923 q seconds. Hopewell
ridden by Matthews clipped one-half
second from the posted record and
made the distance in 81 seconds.
In the harness events the 2:23 trot
lasted five heats before the awards
could be made. After being nosed out
in the first two heats Grace RedIander,
owned by J. T. Baldwin of Hamburg
Iowa. forged ahead and took the re-
naming three heats. She took first
money. It was doped that Gentel Zoe
of last years fame would cop the
money.
The other two running races were
taken with ease by the horses winning
first mony. In the 2.20 pace Symbo
took three straight heats In the 2:30
trot Evelyn Walsh nosed under with
out trouble. The entries were full and
the races did not lack color.
The crowd was good for the first day.
