REGRETS LOST OPPORTUNITY.
Windham Man Disappointed over Re
suit of Prohibition Vote.
Editor of The Phoenix:

Editor of The Phoenix:
It is to be deeply regretted that
Vermont did not improve this grand OPP
portunity of statewide prohibition.
cannot understand why prominent men
in Windham county, whom we look up
to as our leaders, should use their in
tluencc for the liquor interests and
work against the best interests of the
state, both financially and morally. The
distiliers send whiskey into the Ii
censed towns to educate our young
men to drink, tarking the money from
the pockets Of the laboring men, there
by making them unfit to do good work,
and taking the money away from their
families, sending some to jails, leaving
the state poorer with the criminals
that the whiskey makes to take care
of. | hope the next legislature will
drive the curse from our state.
