/ ago. l have been u student of the
subject since that time. I have seen
absolutely no. reasons why l should
revise my judgment. Since that time
states have been coming with me
upon the matter. and men in public
life, who heretofore were opposed to
it, have swung into line: and 1 say
! to you, gentlemen. that I see no
reason at this time why should not
| re-affirm my judgment on this great
cause. Volumes have been written
! of this question, and / might stand
| here and talk until. the next Ma
| tionai Congress submits this amend
ment to the people. and yet I would
rot have covered oil the phases of
! this great question. I want to say
/ to you, gentlemen, that l hope this
| resolve will have a passage. It will
be movement for better law in
| Maine. 1t is a movement that means
/ better government for our good old
state. and l hope to see the bill
have passage tApplause.)
