In the article republished In The Ob'

crowd of boy are undesirable citizens
and goes on to explain how the affair
wa led by Pat Foley and how the ter
rible glove artist from Baker City
swatted him in the neck. That the
Baker City Democrat was too free
with his spleen and made assertions
both unjust and Incorrect, and de
famed the character of the group of
about 12 young men who attempted to
play a Joke on approximately 245 vis

DEMOCRATS ASK ICESCBMISSION.
Prohibition Question Is Chief Isitue In
.Mu I ne Democratic Convention.
Pangor, Me., July 15. With a cut
and dried program, providing for the
nomination of Obadlah Gardner, of
Rockland, for governor, upon a plat
form demanding the resubmission of
the prohibition clause of the constitu
tion to a popular vote, the democrats
of Maine begun their state convention
In City hall at 1:30 this afternoon.
The republicans rece'ntly nominated
Bert II. Fernald of Poland, for gov
ernor, on a platform opposing remib
mlsslon. Fernnld holds that It will
bo unwise to Imperil prohibition,
which has been on the statute books
for more than half a century, by re
submitting It to a decision of the vot
ers. The cnmpalgn will be fought but on
this' clear-cut Issue and the demo
cratic leaders In attendance at today's
Convention declare that It will mean
a democratic victory. They allege
that public sentiment favors resub
mission and point out that the repub
lican majorities have been cut down
from 4S.000 to 8000 In the last few
years by the liquor agitation.
The republican plntform declares
emphatically for the continuance of
prohibition. The democratic platform
will assert that ' under a republican
form of government tho majority
should decide the question, while no
pi siive stand will be taken either for
or nnulnst prohibition.
Democratic politician declare that
the prohibition law has become a
farce and a source of graft and cor
ruption and that. If the people decldi
tn retain It. tho statute should bo
stv'. ily enforced.
