SPEAKS AGAINST AMENDMENT
A. largely Attended Meeting at Court
Thester Last Evenins-Tells Of
Prohibition In Maine.

The campaign against the ratifca-
ton Of the prohibition amendment In
West Virginia was inaugurated In
Ohio county last evening at A mass
meeting held IN the Court Theater.
under the auspices OF the West Vir.
Einia Taxpayer Association An ad.
cress Was delivered BY Hon. Cyrus W
Davis. OF Maine. who spoke al length
en- the conditions In that state under
constitutional prohibition The meet
Ing was quite largely attended. fully
1000 persons being present despite
the wet weather. Preceding Mr. La
Wis address a short musical concert
was rendered by Meister's orchestra.
The meeting began az > o'clock.
and was presided over By Ffdellus

In opening his address. Mr. Davis
dwelt on the beauties OF West Vir-
ginia. her natural resources and as
Sets. OF her past history. and he pre-
dicted a great future. In part. he
said.
1T is "A rare pleasure TO me 10 look
Into the faces OF this splendid Ameri-
can audience. regard you as pa
triots. and not as partiasns. There Is.
ir fact. but little room in this great
country OF ours for partisaDship. I
think ! may safely 20 farther and ad
dress you as statesmen and as optim-
lists. My ideas OF craftsmanship and
optimism may differ slightly from 9TH
ers. but I cannot help feeling that a
real definition Of statesmanship IS not
the one given by a facctious Congress
man Of my own State as a political
who is dead" but rather the average
American citizen with n thoroughly
educated brain. enlightened con-
science and devotion 10 the ideals OF

There Is one question which am
here TO discuss with you frankly this
evening. A question which. while II
has been made by some moral issue
solely. and by others a political issue
solely. is primarily and essentially "A
question OF domestic policy.
I come from state where state
wide prohibition has been law for
sixty years and where constitutional
prohibition has been in the basic law

WINGED me that the cause OF temper.

drawback than this same law: and
that by comparison with our sister
states which had the same law and
discarded IL Maine has suffered by
the comparison.
In discussing this question. 10 IS well
20 state that the opinion OF the fana Sc
or ultra-prohibitionist is worth but lit
tie. for the simple reason that this
class always insists that we live in
Altruria' and have neither locks 10 our
doors nor bars TO our windows and
see no use in iails and pcniteutiaries
A man who doesn't believe in locks
on the doors and bars on the windows

man. They see conditions as they
want them 70 be and not as they are

LABOR OFFENDED
Union Official Says that Pit
Lney's Decisions Have
Been Unfair

Washington, ID. C.--An official an
nouncement was made at the White
House today that President Taft
would appoint Mahlon Pitney, chan
cellor OF the state OF New Jersey and
a former congressman from that
state, to the vacancy upon the SUI
preme court of the United States,
caused by the death of Justice Har-
Ian. Pitney is IS years old and for
seven years he was a member of the
New Jersey supreme court.
1t was for this position that Taft
has virtually decided to appoint
Judge Hook OF the circuit court OF
appeals, but changed his mind when
he was told of a Jim Crow decision
made by Hook. Secretary Nagel of
the present Taft cabinet was then
considered, but for some reason not
chosen. 1t was then announced that
the president was considering an
eastern man, but none knew that Pit
new was at all likely to get the place,
until the announcement of his selec'
tion was made today.
Des Moines, Iowa.. l.. Urick
president of the Iowa State Fedora.
ton of Labor. says that union labor
will denounce the appointment Of
Pitney to the supreme bench. He
says the Pitney is an enemy of labor
as shown by his opinions while OF
