New 10 Be Effective.

If YOU live in this congressional dis-
trict, prefer Republicanism to Bryan
ism, sound money to the fifty cent
dollar that would take you as long TO
earn as the dollar we now have, then
you are interested in the congressional
election Monday, interested in electins
the Republican candidate by an over
whelmlng majority.
This being so your interest ought TO
he live one, one that you naturally
win take pride in making as effective
as possible.
Here are few suggestions on how 10
be effective:
Help to make the Republican ma
jority as large as possible.
Should the Republicans not get out
a big vote you would know the reason
to have been that many Of the voters
were confident the Republican candi-
date would be elected and that their
vote wouldn't be needed.
But the Bryanites would assume that
the falling off in the Republican vcte
was gain for Organism.
They would SO declare it to the peo-
pie in other and distant states who
wouldn't know any better
Every Republican vote is needed to
make Republican influence fully effec-
tive.
If you would help come to the polls
early, so that no one need trouble about
notifying you, that it is election day.
Bring along some Of your friends to
the polls when you come. 1t will make
the performance of the duty pleasanter,
perhaps, and you will assure yourself
you have done what you could in fur
thering good cause.

You believe the Republican national
administration is doing its best to full
fiji the promises it made before it asked

lleve that if you agree with the facts.
Then it is your duty to support that
administration in the good work.
You cannot do this by voting to send

You cannot do it by staying away
from the polls.
You can do it by voting for the Re-

Monday, and in no other way.

ellsworth American,

Next Monday. June q. the voters of
the third congressional district of Maine
which includes Hancock county. are
called upon to vote for representative
to Congress to succeed the late Seth L..
Millken.
1t certainly is a duty. and 1t should be
considered a privilege. for every citizen
of this district who is able, and who
takes the interest he should in affairs of
town, State and nation. to express his po-
litcai preferences at the polls next Mon
day. 1t is damaging evidence against
the public spirit of United States citizen
ship. that in 'off years. when there are
no great issues at stake, and when the
election is considered assured for one
party or the other. that the vote is al
lowed to fall so far below the voting
strength of the community.
Republicans of Maine, you owe IL to
your country. to your State and to your
town. to let your voice be heard at the
polls next Monday: you owe it to the
candidate you have named. one who Is in
every way worthy the high confidence
you place in him, to give him your en-
dorsement by the ballot.
Go to the polls next Monday, proud of
your citizenship, proud of your party.

There is no doubt about that. 1t has
been announced time and again and re-

punishment for traitors, and in his

The call for the Popocratic conven-

participate therein must subscribe to

who would pay them? They would GER

From where else could they possibly

finest work Of the kind ever issued from
a Maine newspaper Office. 1t consisted
of sixteen pages printed on heavy book
paper, profusely illustrated in half

and in Augusta, past and present and
portraits of Augustus prominent men
The portraits included at least three

The Kennebec Journals centennial
supplement was not mentioned In our
last issue as it did not reach our Office
until just as We were going to press,
but it was none the less appreciated.
so much richly deserved praise has been
awarded the publications that not much
is left to be said at this late day unless
we repeat some of the praises already
sounded by the press all over Maine.

for the sake of the history as well as
for its beauty as work of art.

a Few Home Facts.


The savings banks OF the State OF
Maine hold for depositors about $O0,-
OO0,0 This amount represents the
thrift of 100000 people of whom sO.oo9
are women. 1t is the accumulated saw
ings OF the plain working people OF
our State. Nearly every one OF these
dollars was earned by hard work.
Among all these thousands OF deposit
tors very few are rich in this worlds
goods The average size of the deposits
Is only $780, but in very many cases
they represent years of patient toll
and saving-the provision against "a
rainy day and old age; the little in
heritances of orphan children. Tney
rewards of industry and they were 100
cent dollars.
The Popocratic convention in this
congressional district which advocates
the policy Of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at a ratio of lG to /.
would force these depositors in our
savings banks to take their pay for the
100 cent they have laid by, in dollars
worth so cents each.
Why should the honest, sensible men
of any political party endorse policy
that aims at such bare faced robbery?
Is il necessary, because a combination
of rich mine owners, with their pail
agents. succeed in capturing a political
convention--against the protests of its
old and tried leaders-that every man
who formerly subscribed to principles
there discarded. and followed leaders
there repudiated. should throw up his
hat and shout. amen? Not at all. The
instinct of self preservation is one IF
the first laws of nature. II holds as
true in politics as anywhere else. Men
may be pardoned If they do not en-
thuse at the idea Of sacrificing their
own interests. in order that other men
may pile higher the mountains of their
riches The millionaire silver mine

claimed themselves sound money men
throw up their hats and hurrah for
reputation, for no other reason save
that the big silver trust succeeded in
capturing a Democratic national con-
vention, This may he reason enough
for them; but they must not expect 1t
to appeal with any force to thoughtful
men. The men who have silver to sell
would like the government to stamp
every 80 cents worth of it ''one dollar

be what is called. in vulgar phrase. "a
fat thing" for the mine owners: but
Why any man who doesn't ownany bull
lion should get enthusiastic about it it
is impossible to imagine. Men do not
have to be scholars or philosophers to
solve the plain problems of self inter-
est. The mine owners boom free silver

voters of the country have repudiated
