WOODROW WILSON.
11l response to numerous letters received from citizens of Maine ask
ing for his views on the license question, Governor Wilson has declared
in favor of LOCAL OPTION and declares himself opposed to STATE
WIDE PROHIBITION enactments.
By Governor Wilson:
“I AM A THOROUGH BELIEVER IN LOCAL OPTION. I
BELIEVE IN LOCAL sELF-GOVEUNMENT, THAT EVERY COM
MUNITY CONSTITUTES A LOCAL UNIT AND SHOULD HAVE
THE RIGHT TO CONTROL THE MATTER OF REGULATION OR
WITHHOLDING OF LICENSES. FORCED PROHIBITION
MAKES FOR DISREGARD FOR LAW. HYPOCRISY AND NULLI
FICATION.”
Governor Wilson’s proclamation will be of interest to the voters of
this state for he has placed his stamp of endorsement upon our present
LOCAL OPTION law and advises against such legislation as the pro
hibitionists arc attempting to foist upon the people of Colorado.
Colorado is a state of diversified situations. We have different
communities, populated by different people of different customs and
habits.
To attempt to fix a general prohibition policy to meet the require
ments of all communities in this state would be the quintessence of
folly. The voters in such communities ns Denver, Pueblo, Colorado
Springs, Trinidad, Cripple Creek, Leadville, and other cities of this
state, know what is best for their cities in the matter of involving the
granting of licenses, and if they decide that an attempt to establish
prohibition in their communities would not prove feasible they ought
to have the same choice as is extended to the voters in other communi
ties who are now extended the privilege of adopting prohibition when
even a majority approves of such a course. '
The right to vote the saloons from any community in this state is
freely conceded nnd where the local sentiment is opposed to the sale of
liquor a prohibitory law can be enforced with a considerable degree of
accomplishment. However, wherever the local sentiment is opposed to
prohibition, a prohibitory law cannot be enforced and any attempt at i
enforcement proves ineffectual.
We now decide the license question through the operation of one
of the most modern local option laws that has as yet been enacted,
and it would be a lamentable error to discard our present efficacious I
LOCAL OPTION law for so well proven a failure as STATE-WIDE i
PROHIBITION. |
VOTE NO ON THE PROHIBITION QUESTION.
