C, THURSDAY, JULY 2, 190S. NO. 5 PROHIBITION THE ISSUE PROHIBITIONISTS MAKE READY. The Liquor Question is Again to the Front In Maine. Those Who Favor Resubmission Say That in tie First Place it is 25 Years Since the People Have Had An v Opportunity of Expressing Themselves Upm The Subject. (Special to The Arotjs.) Portland, Me.,Jue 29. Tb liquor question is again to the front in Maine and will be the chief issue in the con test tor the Kepublican nomination for governor, which will be decided at the State convention tomerrow. The Republican party is divided on the prohibition question. There has keen fer some years a demand lor the resubmission to popular vote of the fifth amendment to the State constitu tion, by whieh prohiblti en of the man ufacture or sale of liquor became apart of the organic law ef Maine. Those who favor resubmission say that in the ' first place it is 25 years siuee the peo ple have had an opportunity of ex pressing themselves upon the subject, and that in that time conditions have changed and views may also have changed. Opponents of resubmission declare that it is but a device of the enemies ol the law te break down the constitu- tinnal harrier that now DlOtSCtS it fro in constant assaults in the Legisla ture, and that the" recent agitation is merely the first step toword license, inspired by liquor dealers and selfish politicians. y The Democrats are practically a unit " in demanding resubmission, while the Republicans are divided, and upon this question, more than on that ef tax referm or any other issue, depends the party's euoice ol a candidate. There' are three aspirants in the field to head the Kepublican ticket. They are William T. Haines, of Waterville, JB. M. Fernald, of West Poland, and Frederick E. Boothby, of Portland, Me. Mr. Haines and Mr. Fernald are both wealthy. Mr. Boothby is tut general passenger and ticket agent of the Maine Central Railroad. " Early in his campaign Haines de clared himself in favor ef resubmission. Fernald has declared himself opposed to resubmission. Boothby, the third eandidate, says it is up to the Legisla ture to make the laws, and that il elected he would merely execute all ol the laws to the best of uis ability. Upen one side or the other are ar rayed individuals, societies, clubs, churches, educators, newspapers, poli ticians, and almost every ether inter est and influence that exists in Maine. The churches and kindred organiza tions have passed resolutions indors ing Mr. Fernald's position, while many business men throughout the State are believed to favor the candidaey of Mr. Haines. The Party Managers Expect the Con vention to t)3 a Record-Break-er in the Matter cf At- i tendance. (Special to The Argus.) Columbus, O., June 29 The Prohi bition National convention far' the nomination ef candidates for Presi dent and Vice-President ef the United States is te assemble in this city two weeks hence and preparations for the event are about completed. The party managers expect the" convention to be a record-breaker in the matter of at tendance. Interest in the prohibition movement, they declare, was never e keen as at the present time, and as a censequenoe there will be a full at tendance of delegates -and visitors at the eonventien from every Stat and Territory. - The field ef candidates for the Prcsi dential nomination is broadening daily and the prcspects are for a lively con test when the convention meets. Among thoseiJmentioned as possible nominees for President are Alfred Manierre, an attorney of New York; Dr. W. B." Pelmcre, editor of the St, Louis Christian Advocate, and Fred F. Wheeler, a wealthy real estate dealer of Los Angeles. Dr. J. B. Cranfill, Baptist minister of Dallas, Texas, who was a candidate for Vice-President in 1892, is also mentioned as a possible choice for the head of the ticket. Some of the leaders believe that it would be wise to take a candidate from either one of the older parties, select ing a man who has done something tor the anti-saloonists, even though he may not have been efficially identified with the Prohibition party. In that class is Seaborn Wright, a Democrat, who' is regarded as the father of-thCj Prohibition law now in force in Geor gia. Another man whose name is mentioned in connection with the nomination is Judge Samuel Artraan, of Lebanon, Ind., who gave a decision about a year ago that the granting of a saloon license is illegal. For permanent chairman of the con vention William T. Warkwell, former ly' cotmeerd with tfer Standard Oil Company, and Wr W ;Smith, a New Yorker whe has become , wealthy and more or less famous as a -manufacturer of cough drops, are the two men who are most prominetly mentione so far. A CARD. Editor Argus: Refering to the mention of my name for the position of State Senator in the papers and personally, I desire to say that while I appreciate these kind ex pressions! cannot favorbly consider the acceptance of the nomination if tendered me at this time. My friends have been so good and kind to me that it is only a strong sense of duty to my family that strengthens me in this de termination. , It is indeed an honor to represent the good old county of Wayne in this capacity, and if circumstances were different I would cheerfully undertake the responsible task. There are others equally faithful and available who may not have to make as great personal sacrifice. In the coming campaign aa in all my - past record, the best services of which i I am capable are at the disposal of the Democratic Executive Committee. The duty of the hour as I see it, i prudence, loyalty, zeal and faithful ness: and upon a strict adherence to .thefe virtues we can bring to our be loved State the "greatest good to the greatest number." Respectfully J. E. PETERSON. jane 30, 1908. A NEW PRESIDENT ELECTED capt. a. j. brown: A Fine Tribute Which All Will Recognize as Deserved. Crpt. A. J. Brown, who is an aspi rant for the nominatien for Register of Deeds, is thus cordially spoken of by Dr. W. B. Crawford, in a recentissue of the Record-: "We learn that eur good friend Capt A. J. Brown will allow his name to go before the approaching county conven tionfor the nomination of Register of Deeds. "That he is specially qualified for the position, goes without saying, as he once filled the position with credit to the county and satisfaction te 11 concerned. His Qualifications tor the office are the first considerations, and closely tcllowing is his devotion and loyalty to party principal. Twenty years ago, when it required work com bined with effective argument to be successful, Capt. Brown canvassed our township, privately attacking Repub lican strongholds, and captured nearly one whole neighborhood by his method of warfare. He did notf use shot and shell, nor stoop to vile invectives in argument, but by his quiet manners and gentle demeanor, moved around among the people, helping them at whatever work he found them doing; visiting the home of the humblest farmer and wealthy landloard alike. For past service to the party he has been poorly rewarded, having used his surplus funds tor the good of the party and charitable purposes among the needy, the latter claiming a good ly sum from his willing hands and generous heart. Besides this, if his being a Veteran demands recoginition, see sketch of 38th Regiment Clark's History, 2nd volume. He is the only officer now" living in the county who was awarded a geld medal, under an act of the Confederate Congress, for in sr performed some of the most aar ing and ' successful feats of the war, winning the praise and admiration of his superior officers. Aside from his record, which new causes him to wear his cross of honor or his devotion and loyalty to party principles, his quali fications enimcntly fit him for the office, and being incapacited for any other, except effice work, we think the party which he has long and faithful iy served would not be out of the line of duty to honor him with the nomi nation in appreciation of his untiring efforts, and effective work, in helping redeem the county from Republican ranks, if for nothing else, to say noth ing of his Superior qualification, and familiarity with the duties of the office." Mrs. Philip N. Moore, sf St. Louis Elected as Chief Executive of the Federation ef Women's Club. , Boston, June 30. Mrs. Philip N. Moore, of St. Louis, was today elected president general of the Federation of Women's Club, to succeed Mrs. Sarah Piatt Decker, of Denver, the announce ment being made by Mrs. W. G. Chi vis, of Missouri, chairman of ef thel committee on tellers. The election of Mrs. Meore is a com plete, over-throw of the slate proposed yesterday by the committee on nomi nations, which was headed by the name of Mrs. Alden Ward, of Cam bridge, Mass., for President. Mrs.' Ward was not an avowed can didate for the place having been brcught prominently forward when the convention was being held in New England, and her supporters, in conse quence, feel no bitterness as a result of the election, which was 516 votes for Mrs. Moore to 390 for Mrs. Ward.

The offer of a position at a salary of 86,000 a year from the National Civic Federa tion is said to be the cause for Mr Mitchell's hesitation to enter the polit ical arena. DEATH BLOW TO J5UCKET SHOPS. Tomorrow the Anti-Bucket Shop Law Passed by the Last Session of The Legislature Comes Into Effect. (Special to the arous.) Hartford Conn., June 30. Proprie tors of the hundred or more bucket shops throughout Connecticut are to day engaged in winding up their af fairs preparatory to quitting business. Tomonow the anti-bucket shop law passed by the last session ot the Legis lature comes into effect, and henceforth it will be unlawful for such establish ments to operate in this State. Severe penalties are provided for violations of the law, including a heavy fine and a jail sentence ot from sixty days to one year for a second offence. The Connecticut law is modelled af ter the Indiana law, and defines a bucket shop so comprehensively that there seems no loophole in it. It pro vides that any broker must on demand furnish a customer with a written statement of the name ot the person trom wnom a purcnase or to wuom a sale was made, together with the time, place and price at which the transac tion took place. Refusal or failure to do this is prima facie evidence that he is not doing a legitimate brokerage business, but is running a bucket shop. The candidacy ot Francis E. Mc Govern, the aggressive district attor ney of Milwaukee county, for United States Senator from Wisconsin, is said to be gaining force. In his platform Mr. McGovern comes out strongly fo representative government and against government control, by organized wealth actinarn the interests of the few. He favors a tariff commission and the reduction of the tariff rates. TODAY'S MARKET. -8 s 3-8 New York, June 30. Stocks opened irregular.

DEEP CRACKS FROM ECZEMA Could Lay Slate-Pencil In One Hands in Dreadful State Dis ease Defied Remedies and Pre scriptions Suffered Seven Years. FOUND A PERMANENT CUREJNCUTICURA " I had eczema on my hands for about seven years and during that time I had used several so-called remedies, together with . physicians' and drug gists' prescriptions. The disease was so bad on my hands that I could lay a slate-pencil in one of the cracks and a rule placed across the hand would not touch the pencil. I used , , Skin Lotion, Remedy and others externally but I did not use any internal, remedy, and while some gave partial relief, none re lieved as much as did the first box of Cuticura Ointment. I made a purchase of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and my hands were perfectly cured after two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of soap were used. I now keep them on hand for sunburn, etc., and use Cuticura Soap for shaving. I could write a great deal more, in reference to my cure but do not want to take more of your time.
