as written BY himself
Read she following /!

From the Governorship of the great and
revered William King in 1920, down to
that of honest Sidney Perham in 1872,
Maine has had succession of heightened
men in the Executive chair. No matter to
which political party they may have be-
longed, nor what their personal callings,
whether farmers, mechanics or profession
al men, our Governors have in all cases
been gentlemen of exalted character
above the trickery of politics, not stoop-
ing to questionable means, or sharp prac-
tees to catch votes, nor in any way lower
ing the dignity of the great office which
they occupied. For more than full half
century has Maine been favored with Gov
errors of this type rs will be fully attested
when we recall the honored names of King
and Williamson. of Lincoln and Paris. of
Huntoun and Smith, of Dunlap and Kent,
OF Fairfield and Anderson. of Dana and
Hubbard, of Crosby and Wells, OF Ham,
lin and Williams, of Arson p. and Lot NJ.
Morrill,, of Washburne and Coburn, of
Cony and Chamberlain, and finally the
able and upright Perham who now oc-
cupies the chair.
Is Charles P. Kimball the style of man
whom the people of Maine desire to add
to this illustrious list of Executives? Mr..
Kimball was candidate a year ago and
it occurred to him that in the quiet and un-
rufIled condition Of the public mind, he
might by a cunning trick sneak into the
Gubernatorial chair. Mr.. kimball evil
IDENTIFY thought that while the people Of
Maine were off their guard, he might by
a sharp and tricky game planned and
played I'm THE NIGHT TIME" i'm.
pose himself as Governor npon an mnwi1
ing and unsuspecting public, who Gas he
we'll knew would in broad daylight
repudiate him by a majority of thousands.
Hence the famous
Secret Circular
(which was scattered over the State in such
vast quantities, just on the eve Of election
last year--the joint product OF Kimball
and his faithful henchman Butler. who
still disports his rotund person in the chair
manship of the Democratic State Com
mittee. That circular is worthy of repro
duction. for whole chapters of description
would fail to give to the people of Maine
so adequate and accurate an idea of Mr..
Charles P Kimball, as that precious paper
affords. Here it is! 1t speaks for ITSELF! !!
