Classified at Last

I'VE insist that the work of thu
present State administration is en-
titled to endorsement, not only by all
Democrats, but by every citizen who
places the welfare of the State above
mere partisanship.
That's from the platform of princi-
Piles of the State democratic party.
Sounds funny. doesn't 1t?
The administration is entitled to
second, from those who place the
welfare of the State above partisan
ship.
That's what it says.
Read it again to. be sure.
True, isn't it?
They are great on classification?
II it's just the same to the trainers
of that mighty document, about 20
900 or more Of the good people OF
Maine who made the mistake of their
lives by voting for Fred Plaisted will
get out of the classification which is
made above.
That classification is pretty tough
on some of the more respecting Dem
ocrats of Maine.
Still, that platform was framed up
the night before the convention and
it demands the mantle of charity.

Consistency


been and never can be satisfactorily
enforced in communities in which
public sentiment is opposed to It,
That's from the platform OF princi-
pies of the democratic party OF
Maine.
Sounds like what you might be ex-
pected to read from a platform OF
principles of that party, doesn't 1t?
Sounds whole heap like Fred
Plaisteds prediction promises
doesn't It?
Suppose we paraphrase it little.
as follows:
1.-THE prohibitory law has never
been and never can be satisfactorily
enforced in communities in which
Fred Plaisted and W. r. Pattangall
are opposed to it,"
How's that?
Fits, doesn't it?
True, isn't 1t?
Just as true as preaching.
It's bosh, voters of Maine-sheer
clear, downright bosh The men who
framed that plank in the platform
knew 1t, too.
Public sentiment, according to high
authority, is expressed in the stat
utes.
Fred Plaisted thinks it is expressed
In W. R. Pattangall.
It isn't.
What travesty upon the good
sense of the people of Maine.
Why should men, even when soak
ed with party zeal, want to mislead
the people of Maine, and introduce
a regime of notification and disre-
spect of law?
Why should they? And when they
know full we'll that that sort of BUSH
ness works woe and not veal to an
intelligent electorate?
There isn't a sane man in Maine
to-day who doesn't believe that the
prohibitory law can be enforced.

anyway? In the case of the recent
attempt at search and seizure in a
nearby city, when two law-abiding,
law-loving, law-enforcing citizens at
tempted to assist the officer who
served the warrant-who, pray, OPP
posed these men, knocked one down,
L. II 10
other?
Were they law-abiding citizens?
What did the courts find them to
be?
Look up the cases in the Kenne-
bee courts of a couple of weeks or
less ago.
They opposed law enforcement.
Did these men, breaking law, rep
resent public sentiment of that cem-
munity?
Not bit of it.
Even so, are the dictates of law
breakers to be taken as the criterion
of public sentiment?
The self-respecting citizens of
every community want law enforced.
The great majority of decent citizens
have voted in favor of retaining the
prohibitory law and have expressed
their sentiments time and again that
they want the law enforced.
Can we have 1t?
Or. must we accept the Platsted
brand of enforcement--the betrayal
of the public trust?
Which?
