date for governor. 81 am a Repub-

II is a vote for the Republican, prin-
ciples. Blocs have developed al

the other. Party government il
right. 1t is the only proper fern OF
government. And that is why / say
that a vote for me and the whole

The Republican party stands for
the uncompromisinS enforcement 81
the prohibitory law-.ot all laws For
half century Maine has led in the
fight for prohibition until all the rest
0: the country has followed. And
yet in the state of Maine. in the very
district where Neal Dow. thn father
of prohibition lived ana worked. the
Democratic candidate for Congress
is advocating a modification OF the
Nolstead law.
THE people of the rest Of the
country are looking TO Maine TO see
what we are going to do. Forces
are at work for the undermining OF
the prohibitory law. One law car
not be undermined without others
being affected. The 6olsilevisfic an
archist would undermine al law
The prohibitory anarchist would I'M
dermine one law and yet he'd be the
first to invoke other laws as soon as
his own personal safety was threat
ened."
After saying that the two great
things for which the Republican
party stands are the enforcement OF
all laws and economical adninistra-
ton, Senator Brewster praised the

ever enacted.

county" he said, who is one OF the

sible for the success of the budget
Mr. Holley is entitled to your very
careful and earnest support"
