Hon. William T. Guptill Of Topsham,
commissioner Of agriculture. last night
rendered his decision in the matter OF the
complaint Of Frank r. Hayden against
the Maine State Agricultural Association
of Lewiston alleging that liquor was sold
on the fair grounds on the occasion OF the
last exhibit in September. 1916. Commits
sioner Guptill states that Mr.. Hayden has
failed to prove his charges and that the
State stipend Of $500, less the cost Of the
investigation, be granted to the society.
Commissioner Guptilrs decision is as
follows:
Upon the testimony Of Mr.. Hayden, it
appears that upon two days during the
progress Of the fair in the fall Of 1916 he
purchased two half pints Of whiskey from
parties whom he did not personally know.
Mr.. Hayden further testified that he saw
two or three more sales Of intoxicating
liquor on the grounds. No notice what
ever Of these sales was given to any off,
Ger Of the fair and no complaint was
made by Mr.. Hayden to any officers
charged with the duty of enforcing the
prohibitory liquor law. The officers of
the fair and Mr. Leader. who had charge
of the enforcement of all laws on the
grounds, were present and testified that
everything possible was done to enforce
the prohibitory liquor law and that there
had been no violations to their knowledge
with the exception Of one case on the f1rsr

day and the violator in that case was
driven from the grounds.
II find that the charge OF Mi. Hayden
that his witnesses had been approached
by any Of the officers Of the fair or any
one acting under them is entirely WIN
out Justification in fact. Three OF the
witnesses whom Mr.. Hayden expected to
be at the hearing have since been inter-
viewed by the attorney for the commits
sioner and he finds that one of them
purchased during the fair small guam
tity of intoxicating liquor on the grounds.
Another saw little sold and the third
made complaint Of the selling Of liquor to
Mr.. Leader and, acting upon this COM
plant, Mr.. Leader Immediately closed up
the place where it was thought liquor was
being sold.
1T is the opinion Of the commissioner
from the investigation that the prohibito-
~ law was enforced by the officers of the
Maine State Agricultural Society during
the fair in September. 1916 I have no
doubt but that some liquor was sold on
the grounds, but 1t is my opinion that
the quantity sold was inconsequential and
sold in direct opposition to the will and
intention Of the fair officials. 1t is there
fore ordered that the said complaint be
dismissed and the State stipend less the
cost of this investigation be paid to the
society,""
