A prominent citizen in town fur
nishes we'll written article which he
designed for the MONITOR in which he
sets forth the merits of our respected
citizen, Augustus Paddock, and his
fitness for town representative. His
high estimate of Mr.. Paddock is both
true and creditable and the town will
honor itself by honoring him. We do
not know as the custom has come in
vogue to discuss candidates for town
offices in local papers, but we see no
harm in so doing. The new ballot law
is almost making this a necessity,
though it may not be agreeable to par
ties whose names may be used. Mean
while Mr.. Paddock is spending a few
days at Peaks Island and he will not
know that his candidacy is being dis
cussed.
