REMARKS BY AN AMERICAN JOURNAL.
POSITION AS TO THE RECENT POLL. The American “Review, of Reviews” for September states: — In Maine the fight is not to get Prohibition into the State Constitution, but to keep it there. Prohibition in Maine ante-dated by many years the constitutional amendment adopted tinder the leadership of the Republican party in 1884, but. prior to that year the liquor traffic had been interdicted by statutory enactment alone. Should the result of the election to be held this month he favorable to the repeal of the amendment, the anti-liquor laws of the State would still remain on the statute book, and the Democratic party, which is now in power in the State, would have to take tho responsibility of repealing them before Maine would become legally “wet.” /
