Statewide Prohibition
|. WHAT III is NOT

The Statewide Prohibitory Referendum law to
be voted upon March z, 1916 is NOT the ''Old Pro-
hibtory Law" That was repealed by popular vote,
February 3, 1903, and has not been re-enacted.
When that law was adopted in 1852 it represented
the most advanced temperance sentiment of the day.
1t was the best law available at that time But its
minimum penalties for illegal selling were very small,
frequent amendments had made it cumbersome and
the town agencies had become subject gross abuses
in some places.
The friends of Statewide Prohibition are not pro-
posing that the State go back to its old law neither
are they willing to remain under present conditions
when better law than either the old one or the pres
ent one is possible They believe i'm progress
