Campaign Material,

The Portland Express published the
following in the issue of Monday eve
ming. as special correspondence:
The trend of Mr.. Pattangalfs cross
examination of Rev Henry T. Skill
ings in the investigation of Mr.. Moul
ton here, this forenoon, was APP
parently directed less TO any purpose
which would serve in the defense of
the sheriff than with the idea Of
bringing out statements from the wit
ness which could be used as argu-
ments against the continuation of the
prohibitory law and in favor of licen-
sing the liquor traffic.
He went into detail with Mr.. Skill
lings, getting him to describe kitchen
bar rooms as he found them To exist
when he was a deputy sheriff and al
so to describe pocket peddling which
was done during the close time of the
Pearson and Dunn administrations,
bringing out the fact that young men
from IS to p were the ones who most
~ did the pocket peddling and in moss
cases women were engaged in selling
liquor i'll kitchen bar rooms
In one instance the witness told OF
IA woman who had pocket ABOUT the
bottom of her skirt in which she car
ried small bottles of whisky.
The former attorney generals tons
and comment, all indicated that wha'
he was seeking most were statement:
which could be used in arguments t.
bolster up the license cause and maxi
it appear that conditions under pro
hibition were less favorable to The
community than they are under Ii
cense.
He did not get Mr.. Skilings, how
ever, to make any such admissions
The witness declared it his belief
based upon his own observation, tina
conditions were better when the traf
fic was driven hard by the enforce
! ment officers than it is during opel
time like those which he found exist
ing now in the city of Portland.

senators went TO their chamber and
