Ali Ready for Republican vietory-whst
Democratic Times Have Done for tho
City.
There have been more changes In the
voting list at this session of the Board Of
Registration than there has been since
the first sitting. Forty six new names
have been added, but more than double
that number have been stricken from
the list, and therefore there Is slight
decrease in the number of voters on the
lists from last springs list.
The emp loyes of the different manu-
featuring plants in this city have lost
in wages since the advent of. the Demo-
cratic party to power, in the neighbour
hood OF $4,000 in wages To many this
has meant simply the withdrawal from
the savings banks the savings of years,
while to Others it has meant want AID
suffering. This is the direct result of
placing the legislation of this country
into the hands of southern plantation
owners who admit they have no knowl-
edge of or interest in such communities
as ours. Westbrook has In years past
been considered a doubtful city political
", and is at present represented in the
state leg islature by Democrat. This
year the most conservative Republican
claim majority of from 100 to $50 for
their ticket. Westbrook will speak to-
day, and not feebly, either The Dem
| ocrats showed the for lorness of their
hope when their candidate for Congress
confined bis remarks in Odd Fellows
hall Friday evening entirely to discus
sion of the sheriff question.
+ Both the Democrats and Prohibition
lists have been making great fight for
their candidates for sheriff, and Pearson
and Morrill, stickers have been sent to
all the leading Republicans here. But
the Republican voters they are catering
for are reading and thinking men and
they have heen finding out that Samuel
| D. Plunmer is one Of the oleapest men
ever nominated for the Office of sheriff in
the county by either party, and that ht
has been conducting clean campaign
and that they have the word of himsel
and trends that he has made no promise
| and will surround himself honorable
Again, the Rev. Mr.. Pearson has show
TOO much political animus to draw heav,
