A Heavy Decrease.

Republicans of Kennebec county are
just now wondering if the basis of rep
rcsentaton at the next county conVcn-
ton will be the vote at the last Guber-
material election or the election of 1896
If it should be the last election there
will be heavy decrease of representa-
tives in nearly all the towns and some
of the cities The city committees of
Augusta and Watervlle made big
effort to bring the voters out so there
was practically no decrease in the
number of votes. This will make the
