Peters Speaks Against Measure.

Il want at the outset" said Mr..
Peters of Ellsworth, TO make myself
as popular as | can by saying that |
am not going to make temperance
speech or long speech. | want to
say word in behalf of the 10000 odd
men who voted No in September last.
Eor % years we have had in the con-
stitution provision which forbade the
manufacture and sale of liquor i'll
Maine for all time. | am not one OF
those who believe in constitutional
prohibition. l hold the same views
now as did year ago. | believe that
1t is detrimental to the best interests
of the State. but | recognize that the
voters of the State did not agree with
me.
Six months ago they had q proposi-
ton put UP to them. 1t was so simple
ana clear that to claim they did not
understand ii is SO absurd as to be
purile All they had to do was TO vote
yes, or no l cannot believe that
the constituency is SO lacking in in
teliigenee that it did not understand.
We find ourselves here again to meet
another proposition. AS | have read
the measure in the brief time available
II seems to me there is a great deal
OF surplus language in the measure.

Speaker Morcy followed. Said he:
Had it not been for the words of the
gentleman from Houlton, who III argu-
ing his side of the case attacked men
Of the party to whom | belong and
made insinuations that struck at their
honor | should not have spoken.
He has charged that the party OF
which he Is an honored member was
responsible for piece of legislation
used and intended as enforcement
Outside of that pieoe of legislation
do not understand there has been any
persistent attempt on the part of his
party to enforce law.
Il remember the day of the passage
Of the Sturgis bill for | was a member
of the legislature then was one
of those that voted NO" when that
legislation was enacted which give a
new and peculiar right to the officers
and allowed them in one case that !
know of to go into a home with pick
axes and crowbarS and wreck the
dwelling. The case went to the law
court and the law court wrote an opin-
ion, through the chief justice, which
ordered the damages to the amount
Of thousand dollars to be paid by the
guilty officials and this amount was
reimbursed by the State without au-
thority of law.
Would the gentleman from Houlton
