elected 30 delegates to the state

Nothing on the ballot indicated

A decision by the state supreme

that if 36 states voted for repeal
he would take care of the matter

Dry As Tinder
Names reputation as dry state
equals that of Kansas, although il
never knew liquor hatred like Car
RE Nation and her hatchet pro-
vided in the prairie state. Its first
prohibition law was enacted in 184d
and followed closely the second
great wave of American piety.
Only distilling was prohibited at
first in Maine. Liquor could be im-
ported and sold publicly in guam
titles of % gallons or more. In
toxicants were permitted for me-
dicinal and mechanical purposes.
In 1858 prohibition again was en-
acted, with a provision for a
plebiscite. The drys won, 28,864 tc
5,912. That decisive result lulleo
the issue until 1884 when prohibi-
ton was put into the state consti-
tuteion in mandatory form. The
