WHAT MIR. wALBRIDGE DOES NOT SAY.

Mr.. Walbridge assures the voter that there has
been no kind Of bargain with the corrupt elements
which seek the downfall OF Folk. Mr.. walbridge
does not say that his campaign organization and the
bootle leaders will not act together.
Mr.. Clinton Welch declared that an uIho'y alli-
ance had been made between the forces which nomi.
mated Mr.. Walbridge and the forces which Folk has
been fighting. Mr.. Boutwell, seems 10 entertain a
Ike unfavorable opinion Of the organizations op-
erationA We had Judge Rassieur's word for il a
year ago that the Republican piaD in the event OF
Folks nomination by the Democratic party. would
be to make an alliance with the doodle elements
His words to that effect were delivered publicly.
Republican nominee. the Reverend Mr. Wood. points
out that Doodle is the great dividing issue and that
'the corrupt element in Missouri politics would turn
earth and hell to beat Folk" and he evidently sees
that the booders have been taken into his parfys
organization for he announces his intention to vote
for Folk. Chauncey ]. Filley. who generally knows
what he is talking about, shows the relationship Of
the boodlers TO the Republican campaign. These
are but few OF the reliable authorities who differ
with Mr. walbridge as to the alliance with Doodle.
Mr. waIbridges statement may be believed as TO
any literal and definite contract with himself. But
which do the boodlers prefer: an administration
headed 10y relentlessy persistent enemy Of boo
ding or an administration headed by a man whose
record OF PUBIC serVice aiu III per1od when poo-
ding the rule fails to disclose the slightest op
position to boodle? And which would Colonel Ed
Butler prefer: a Governor who had twice prosecuted
him a charge Of boodIing or a Governor who had
championed the Butler garbage bill?
Nowhere in Mr. Walbridge's Kansas City speech
does he make a specific announcement Of opposition
to the booders. Nowhere does he threaten them
Nowhere does he warn bribers and lobbyists away
from Jefferson City Mr.. Walbridge talks about
nhoperty in the abstract. Mr.. Folk, on the other

Joshua T. Hall, who would have been
90 years of age had his life been spared
until Oct. s, 1904, died Wednesday morn
ing about half past eight o'clock. He
was an honorary member of Blazing
Star Lodge of Masons. He received the
Masonic degrees in 1854 years a
Mason, and until within six years had
been very regular attendant at its
meetings. The 23d ult. he came to the
barber shop and was shaved, remarking
to the barber that he probably wonld
not come many more times. Until with
in three years he was strong, active,
had good eyesight and could do much
work. The writer has observed that
during those last years he was los
ing strength of voice and limb, still he
has until within a few-three or four
weeks been able to visit the post Office
and clearly discuss local events. An
old-time military man, he was captain
of an Aroostook war company. Twice
married, his second wife survives him.
His only child, Imogene, now Mrs.
Daniel G. Frost, is resident of Mexico.

What hay weather since the dog days
came in. That little dog star, sometimes
called Lanicula, does occasionally seem
to raise the dickens with the weather,
while at other times it seems to mind
nothing about it. We have seen as fair
weather, and as long a stretch of it dur
ing the so-called dog days as at any other
time during the summer, but not always.
But very few are done haying about
here on account of the lowery weather
during the last ten days.
But little rain has fallen during the
summer, consequently the drouth has
been severe; nor can it be said to be
ended yet; the effect of which has been
to produce swarms of house flies, horn
flies and potato bugs. And according to
report the brown tail gypsy moth will
soon be here; still they tell us there is
nothing made in vain.
Jesse Daniels goats, about twenty-five
in number, have had their liberty to go
and come as they pleased, and still they
seem to have injured no one; now he is
building fence around a piece of land
for the purpose of keeping them in closer
quarters.
Blackberries are now in order and are
on the table with nearly every meal.
We remember of seeing that pighouse
last year that was burned at the insane
hospital recently, and Mr.. Lapham in
formed us that the cost of the building
was an even $40, 700. And that is the way
the states money went and is still going.
No wonder that the state begins to talk
about economy with a debt of several
million dollars hanging about it like a
milestone.

TAKEN WITH CRAMPS.

VIM. Kirmse, a member of the bridge
gang working near Littleport was taken
suddenly i'll Thursday night with cramps
and kind of cholera. His case was so
severe that he had to have the members
of the crew wait upon him and Mr.. Gift
ford was called and consulted. He told
them he had a medicine in the form of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhea Remedy that he thought would help
him out and accordingly several doses
were administered with the result that
the fellow was able to be around next
day. The incident speaks quite highly
of Mr.. Gifford's Observation-Disclosures,
Iowa, Argus.

your home, it may save life. For sale by

Candidate Cobb on Enforcement.

Hon. William T. Cobb, the Republican
nominee for governor, has spoken twice
already in this campaign, at Camden and
Alfred. He defines his position on pro-
hibitiOn and enforcement in words of no
uncertain sound. The following is from
the report of his remarks at Alfred ::
The Republican party of Maine be-
lieves in the enforcement of the liquor
law as il stands on our statute books
to-day. However much men may differ
as TO the wisdom of the law itself, there
can be no difference of opinion rs to the
need and propriety of enforcing it so
long as il is part of our statutes; the
law is there; the people placed it there,
and believe they are entitled to and
should receive practical demonstration
that il can be enforced honestly and
fairly in every county in the state of
Maine. Nothing short of such practical
demonstration will satisfy them, and
unless | mistake their temper, they will
not tolerate the Democratic movement
for resubmission until they are better
convinced than to-day that practical
enforcement is an impOssibility. The
sale of liquor under the present law may
not be stopped absolutely any more than
laws directed against other crimes pre-
vent their occasional commission, but if
this particular law is enforced as well and
as successfully as are the laws pertaining
TO other crimes and misdemeanors, such
enforcement is sure to satisfy the reason
able and fair-minded people of the state
who favor prohibition now.
do not intend at this time to discuss
the prohibition question in detail. The
plank concerning it in the platform
adopted at Bangor speaks for itself, and
as a nominee of the party am standing
on that platform. If that platform
means nothing, now is as good time as
any to find it out. 1t seems to me, too,
that every man who casts his vote in
September for the Republican state
ticket, must mean that he wants to see
the prohibitory law enforced. If We are
to be honest with ourselves and with the
people of this state, we must, if con-
tinued in power, enforce that law. IL
our declaration concerning it was put in
the platform simply to catch votes, such
action was an outrageous affront to the
Republican party and to good citizen
ship. believe it was put there because
the party meant what it said, and as
sure you that if elected governor OF this
state, every legal right and every proper
influence that belongs to the Office will
be used by me to enforce that law. l
stand for its enforcement because it is
the law, and believe it should be up
held by every citizen, whatever his po-
litieal beliefs may be, so long as it re-
mains the law.
No one in this audience should make
any mistake as to my position in this
matter, and ask for no mans vote I'M
less he believes that will do as have
said. The law means more than politics,
good citizenship means more than par
tisanship, and the first requisite of good
citizenship in an official is to enforce the
law, and in a citizen to obey it.
