question was settled at the last cleo.
ton. 1t Is not a political issue in Maine
today so far as the minority party in
this House is concerned 1t was not de-
cided at the last election. and I thinx
the Democratic caucus has acted wisely
in leaving the matter to the opinion Of
| the individual members as to which
! way they shall vote upon it. The mi
nority in this House is too small to rep
| resent that great body OF men who cast
a Democratic vote at the last election.
/ am opposed TO any amendment to this
resolve at this time. This question was
practically settled by resubmission, and
the people of Maine are on record, and
l think it is ou- duty now to vote
! against any amendment and to ratify
the greatest question that has ever
come before this House. s(Applause).
The question being on the adoption Of
Amendment A offered by Mr.. Reed Of
| Bangor to the resolve ratifyins the pro-
| posed amendment to the constitution
OF the United States prohibiting the
manufacture, sale or transportation Of
! intoxicating liquors within. the impor-
! tation thereof into. or the expectation
thereof from. the United States and all
| territory subject 70 the Jurisdiction
thereof,
And the viva voce vote being taken,
The amendment was rejected.
! The SPEAKER: The record shows
that yesterday the motion was made,
and sufficient number of the members
indicated desire for the yea and nay
vote, so that when the vote is taken 1t
will be taken by yeas and nays.
The question is the adoption Of the
resolution without the amendment, and
atl those who are in favor of adopting
VIII say Yes when their names are call
ed Those who are opposed will say
no The clerk will call the roll.
