The difference between the five
year period when republicans were
In control and the five year period
when democrats were in control is
$l32,159.93, or an average OF $26.-
431.3s more for each and every year
that the democrats were In control,
for five year period. than for a
similar period when republicans
were in control. And what have we
got to show for it? That's the big
gest problem OF all.
A similar showing is made In the
tax levied each year for state pur-
poses In Otero county. For the five
year period from 1904 to 1905. when
republicans were in control in state
affairs. the tax for state purposes in
Otero county was as follows.

For the year 1918. however. the tax
for county purposes was $l7s.ols.ss.
the highest tax for county purposes
ever known IN the history Of the
county. and An increase over the pre-

Dear Sir: Your letter Of recent

Maine. and In reply will give you n
few statements reieative to the
same.
For more than fifty years Maine
has had statutes prohibiting the
manufacturing. sale and keeping for
sale Of alcoholic aud malt liquors.
In 1885 the principle OF prohibition
was adopted into our constitution.
In 1910 Il was again submitted Ia
the people. and by a majority vote
In 1911 Il was again rcaffirmcd and
kept In the constitution.
A. the beginning Of my admins

palpable fraud and dirty trick
is the proper Characterization OF fn-
itiated amendment No. l. 1t was
conceived by the whisky bunch, led
by Charley Hamilton of the Oxford

amendment are seeking to slip II
through by downright lying. Here
is one of their falsehoods, published
In the program OF big Denver the
doubtless it Is being published
elsewhere:
"of the amendments to be voted
on In November. that one which pro.
vides that any law submitted at one
election cannot be resubmitted,
whether II was carried or defeated.
seems to be the most popular. Every
one appears to think that II a law r.
carried II should be given a tryouu
of at least six years. and II defeatee
II should stay buried for at least tha
long"
Now the falsehood and trick lies II
this: The amendment is made TO
apply only TO laws that are proposed
and rejected. Hence. for example. if
the prohibition amendment mo. p
carries. the sal'nn crowd. even II
amendment No. ] carries. can resub-
lnit the question two years hence.
Hut II prohibition should fail To carry
by one vote. II cannot, II this fraudu-
lent amendment No. I carries. be re-
submitted for six years.
The exposure OF this fraud ought
To be sufficient to everlastingly
damn II and those who fathered Il.
and who are striving to slip II
through. Aye. more. Il ought 10

and we find In conversation with
travelling men that the sentiment is
strongly In favor Of State Wide Pro-

problem we have been trying for SO
many years TO solve-the evil OF the
indulgence In intoxicants. 1 be-
lieye that every citizen, however
strong he may be in self-control.

sake OF benefitting the multitude of
his weak aud unfortunate fellow men.
