THE DEMOCRATS
Declare Against Extended
Terms Of Office.
State Committee Wants Change
in State Assessor Board.
Say Term of Six Years Is Enough tor
Any Man.

Fairfield, Me-, Dec. IA meeting OF
the Democratic State committee, was
held here, Friday night, Chairman e.
L. Jones of KenncDec, presiding. Four
teen of the 16 counties We're represent
ed. The chairman was authorized to
appoint an executive committee of five,
of which he should be chairman, to be-
gin active work in pcrfecting the State
organization for the campaign of 1906,
and to raise funds for that purpose.
After full ana free discussion the
following resolution was passed, all
but one member voting in the affirma-
tive and this member explained why
he could not vote upon the question:
1T is the sense Of the members of the
Democratic State committee, in regu-
lar session convened, that the members
Of our party, who occupy seats i'll the
Maine Legislature at Augusta the com
ing winter should take into considera-
ton some facts in relation to the Sc
lection of State assessor IN place of
Hon. George Pottle of Lewiston, whose
second term of SIX years will expire at
that time
This office is the only one which the
Democrats may claim under tie law of
the State and the representatives, of
the party should endeavor to make
a choice of some man, who is capable
ana competent to perform the duties,
hut who cannot be classed as an Old
oficeholder.
in our campaigns We charge the Re-
publicans with retaining men in office
altogether too long and it would be in
consistent for us to keep one person Is
years in the only Office at our disposal.
For This reason we hope and trust that
cur representatives in the Legislature
will be governed by this consideration
n selecting the Democratic member o.
| the State Board Of Assessors.
1T is the sense Of the Democratic
State committee that one term of six
years is a sufficient period of service for
any member of the State Board Of AS

HAD TO HIDE IT

A mother wrote us recently
that she had to keep SCOTS
Emulsion under lock and KEY
her children used to drink
it whenever her back was
turned. Strange that children
should like something that is
SO good for them. It's usu-
ally the other way. SCOTS
Emulsion makes children
comfortable, makes them fat
and rosy-cheeked. Perhaps
that's why they like it so
much-they know it makes
