It robs jxni .01 the right to have cider, beer, or liquor; in your own home! It
ifaakes it a crinie to give your friend or neighbor, a glass of cider. : v
It permits anyhofficer, special or regular, to break opeii your door at midnight
and search your wife's or mother's room for liquor! Do you want that kind of law
inreon?
Maine,-ori September 12, 1910, repudiated its prohibitiW W 57 years' stand
ing by electing, for the first time in 30 years, a Democratic governor upon his pledge
to re-submit the constitutional prohibition law. It was not political insurgency that
turned the tide, but insurgency against statewide, obnoxious, ineffective prohibi
tion, so-called. Will Oregon profit by Maine's error of threescore years ? v
Nothing is settled until it is settled right
Bet
us settle it now and settle, it rigljt.
: THa Hbm&Rule W
limits, It permits an
city, or any precinct or numbeK of precincts or the whole county outside the cities
to vote for ' or against 8 prohibition, as they choose. Under this bill every city ia
.wery county, and every county in the State, may vote "dry" if they so desire.

as a reminder):

Think it over I ' .
Prohibition attemptt to override aa
individual and inharaat ribt. That'a
