Show THE BURNING ISSUE. Newark Evening Star: ""Maine adopted prohibition many years ago, and it was thought that thereby the liquor question was taken out of politics But that was a great mistake, for the liquor question has been a burning issue In state politics ever since and has been a prolific cause of bad government in the state In every state election this question has come up to obscure other state I questions, and long-needed reforms are unattainable, because, with the . liquor question over uppermost, it has been impossible to get a square ver- diet of the people or to elect legislators legis-lators pledged to reforms." |
