Byrnes Starts Trouble
p. J. Byrnes of Bangor started the
ball rolling when in referring to the
18th amendment, he stated that he
believed of all the legislation that
has been enacted in the last so years
that is the most injurious for it takes
away the freedom of the people. He
stated that during the influenza cpl
demic at Bangor people had come to-
him, asking how it would be possible
to get light wines and beers.
Mr.. Byrnes had not completed his
address when a strong protest Of
mo, No, No" was voiced by women
in attendance.
Voice Of the w. c. T. U.
Mrs. Annie Snow of Rockland
stated that she represented the wom-
en- of Maine of the w. c. T. T., and
that she believed they do not want
the prohibition amendment inter-
fered with in any way.
That the Democratic party would
be as we'll off If not better off to let
the question alone, was the opinion
expressed by George NJ. Blake of
Portland. He said that he knew the
Republican party had always had a
plank for prohibition. and that he
thought it was better to let the
question alone.
Leon G.. G. Brown Of Milo said that
he believed in personal liberty-the
principle on which the Democratic
party was founded. He said that he
did not believe the w. c. T. L. or
any other organization represented
should attempt to dictate the policies
for the gathering. 1t was a matter
for the Democrats to consider. He
voiced the opinion that there Is no
such thing as prohibition, and that
to think that there is, is hypocracy.
And in support of his contention. he
spoke Of conditions in various places.
He pointed out that the Democratic
party doesn't stand for rum, but for
fair play.
Pat Has Something to Say
William r. Pattangall of Augusta
was next heard from on the subject.
He said that the Democratic party of
Maine is and always has been a tenn
perance party, and that the only thing
the Democrats get intoxicated on is
the exubefance of their own e1o-
quence. He said that as he under
stood the suggestion as made. it was
for some modification of the law
which would permit the sale Of light
wines and beer. Regarding the call
for light wines and beers during the
illness Of influenza, he did not think
that people wanted them for they are
not used to Influenza. He showed that
some declaration or no declaration re-
garding prohibition must appear in
the Democratic platform, and assert
ed that he was convinced that neither
