stitution for deserving Democrats
There are side issues in the Maine
campaign not entirely political. One OF
these is Statewide prohibition versus
local option. The prohibition question
has cut a figure in Maine elections for
over half a century, and has made and
unmade many political fortunes. 1t Will
be a factor in this years fight.
"Of course, the tariff is an important
issue. Maine always has favored a pro-
tective tariff. In the 1914 campaign the
war. which had practically the same pro-
tective features for Maine industries as a
tariff. eliminated the tariff question from
the campaign although it was well under
stood that the Underwood tariff was
rapidly putting the country into a dis
tressing business condition. 1t is well un-
derstood, too, that with the close Of the
European war a protective tariff Will
have to be restored or Maine industries
will go to smash.
The sectionalism of the present national
Administration does not set well IN
Maine and am advised that the Mexi-
can and foreign policies Of the President
command little respect.
