KLEIN DUES MEASURE A
 "FOOL BILL
iContiued from Page 1.)

MT. Orr pointed out that Maine after remaining in the clutch of pro- hibition for 60 years had finally. re- volted against the intolerab condi- publicans who had been ill power during that period and elected Dem Ocratic administration which had sent to the U. s. Senate a Democratic sen- atOr for the first time in more than half century. Not only that but the people were to get a chance to vote on the question of prohibition next fall as both branches of the legisla- ture had voted to reSubmit the queS- ton to the people. He said 1t was not difficult to predict the outcome of the vote. He said he was tired of hearing the good name of the people o fthis state attacked by ministers of the gospel who are draw ng good salaries and living we'll thanks to the generosity and prosperity of our people. He denied that conditions in this state were as pictured by those who are forever decrying against the liquor business and challenged proof. He then quoted from statistics 70 show that conditions in states Where prohibition existed were far worse than in Connecticut.
 Mr. Klein told the committee that the people of this State had exper1- mented with prohibition prior to 1873 and found it not to be what it was then and is now represented to be. The sen .iment which rose up against it then came from our very best citi- gems, and in his opinion prohibition was forever wiped off the statutes of this State.
 Citizens of the character and repute of the late Fred Hurd, Nathaniel Wheeler and Deacon Daniel Sterling of Bridgeport, every one of them a churchman and a leader in all move ments designed for the betterment of the people, appeared in favor of wip- ing out the law, and they testified that under it more drunkarks were being made than if the sale of Iqucr was allowed under reasonable regulation.
 MT. Klein had an array of formid- able statistics which he read for the benefit of the committee, showing that in States where the sale of liquor was made unlawful the laws against 1t were not and could not be enforced.
 MT. Klein at this point referred to a quotation of Parson Griffin from the new testament, and surprised the com- mittee and MT, Griffin too by quoting literally passages from both the old and new testaments which indicated that the au hors had no inspiration to preach in favor of prohibition.
 In a keen summing up Attorney Klein brought ponderous arguments to weigh against the pNl, ana ne citeu as the basis of many of his statements the recent census report aiken by the government.
 He showed that he had made an ex- haustive inquiry into conditions in Maine and Kansas and other prohibit tion States, and reminded the com mittee that Alabama after a trial of the thing had recanted and wanted no more of it. He said the South was as crazy for prohibition as it once was for the Rebellion, and he predict ed that it will be as sorry for prohibi- jon as it is for the Rebellion.
