LOCAL OPTION SCHEME.
Rep. Peters in House Debate Oh
Governors Proposition.

Rep. Peters in House Debate on
Governors Proposition.
81 want at the outset" said Mr.. Peters,
saying that sm not going TO make tenn
peranee speech or a long speech / want
to say q word in behalf OF the $1,000 odd
men who voted No in September last. For
twenty-five years we have had in the con-
stitution a provision which forbade the
manufacture and sale Of liqoor in Maine
for all time. am not one OF those who
believes in constitutional prohibition. 1
hold the same views now did a year ago.
believe that it is detrimental to the best
interests Of the State, but / recognise that
the voters Of the State did not agree with
me.
six months ago they had q proposition
put up to them. 1t WAS SO ample and
clear that to claim they did not under
stand it is 90 absurd as to be purile. All
they had to do was to vote yes or no.
cannot believe that the constituency is 90
lacking in intelligence that it did not I'M
derstand. We find ourselves here again
to meet another proposition. AS / have
read the measure in the brief time avail
able, it seems to me there is great deal OF
surplus language in the measure. We all
realize that the people have refused to
abandon constitutional prohibition,
which is the bar to this or any other legis-
iature enacting q license law, but the
trainers Of this measure which is before rs
seek to nullify that constitutional provi-
sion. 1t is certainly not a well framed
measure which would be left in the con.
stitution. The farmer will not be proud
of it.
SIT would read that the sale OF liquor Is
forever prohibited in Maine, except in
the cities and towns. daughter A
stranger would ask: Well, where is it pro
hibited? And would say: In the planta.
tions and wild lands. You will say that i
provides for regulation. That is absurd.
ssTalk about majorities," said Mr.
Peters, "being too small, how about som,
of the majorities by which we came here

was small, and didn't want to do that

WEDDING bells.


A pretty wedding took place at the
home OF Mr.. and Mrs. Howard II. Hooper
last Wednesday evening, when their
daughter. Gracia May, beca ne the bride OF
Claude Harold King. OF Orono. The house
WAS in glad array in honor OF the occasion,
The parior being resplendent in drspery OF
"a bite with ferns and flowers arranged
with pleasing effect. The dining room
came in for similar treatment.
The bride was attired In dress OF Allies
blue with ball trimmings, messRline and
aii-oyer lace She carried bouquet OF car
nations. Miss Ella NJ. Jude was the maid
of honor, while the groom was attended
by James r. Carter, OF Bangor, a cousin OF
the bride.
Marion Rideout began the wedding march
and the bridal party entered tbe parior,
where the ceremony WAS performed by
Rev. p. A. A. kiilsm, the single ring SER
vice being used. II was witnessed by
relatives and few intimate friends, who
extended hearty congratulations. out-os-
town guests were Miss Maggie Hardison,
Of Franklin, and Thurston Cunningham
and wife OF Bluebiil.
The serving Of refreshments by Mrs.
James 4. Lynch, Miss Jnde and
Miss Rideoui was matter OF
unusual interest to the guests, for the
reason that the wedding cake had certain
tokens concealed in Its delicious interior.
To the dismsy of The single young ladies
present, the ring was found by the
minister, but a. that func;ionsry, had left
the realm OF single blessednsss long ago,
he evened up the matter by having them
draw lots, with the result that Miss Ride
out now wears the ring. She also received
the piece OF money. Tho thimbis went to
a young lady from away.
There were many wedding aiits, all of
Them pretty aud useful, evicencing the
good will OF q large number OF friends.
Mrs. King is school teacher, having
taught several terms With fine success.
MIR. King rs well known in oruno, where
he has been employed. They left for a
short trip, after which they will reside
near Bangor.

saked for another votsf The right of the
majority to rule was struggled for 500
years by the Anglo-Saxons, and is one OF
the dearest rights of our race. The real
reason Is that the democrats are not salts
fied with the result, but want the question
decided their way.
awe have heard great deal OF late
about the voice OF the people, especially
from the democrats. We republicans
have been tainted about being afraid to
trust the people. The democrats must be
deaf to the voice of the people. They
seem to have deaf ear turned TO the
voice OF the people, and their good ear
toward MIR. Psttangall. Who shall decide
when this question is decided rights
Shall Mr.. PattangslI or the gentleman
from Augustag The decision was not in
accord entirely with my views, but shall
| saw Il was not rights Who shall decide,
anyhow
AT has been said that the cities want 1t
and tie towns do not, and that some ar
rangement should therefore be made
whereby the cities can have it" said Mr.
Peters. This argument e Invalid and
might properly have been addressed to the
people at the time OF the election last fall.
They knew il perfectly well then. The
people OF this State know more than you
give them credit for knowing, gentlemen
OF the oppositioa.n
MIR. Peters said that, after all, the ques-
tion was largely one of units. In some
states the whole state is the unit, In some,
the county, and in some the city. Good
men may differ In their opinion of what is
the best plan, MIR. Peters said. He ex-
planned that the towns had an interest in
the laws in force in the cities and vice
versa. He thought the predecessors of the
present legislature, who bad originally
framed the statewide prohibitory amend
ment to the constitution, had taken this
into consideration.
There Is only one way in which the
constitution can be su1ended-by vote OF
the people," said Mr.. Peters. al care
more for the constitution and for the
preservation OF law than do for the sue
cess or failure of this measure. ! don't
believe the trainers OF this measure meant
to wiifuliy deceive the people, but this, in
effect, Ia what it does. ] have nothing to
explain and nothing to apologize for, and

that my reasons will justify themselves to
