1t is noted that Mayor Plaisted has
had good deal to say about Ring
Rule" in his speeches upon the stump.
This is a subject with which he should
be familiar. 1t was he who called
the Democratic county convention to
order, and no man had a better oppor-
tunity than he to see how the Demo-
cratic Ring usurped the rights of "the
people" by appointing a committee to
bring In list of nominations! Not
only did this committee thus relieve
the delegates Of the duties imposed
upon them by their constituents, but
it still further rubbed in" the ano-
CANT sway of the Democratic Ring by
returning three Of its own members in
the list of nominees! With such an
opportunity to study-from the inside
such an exhibition Of Ring Rule. in it:
most despotic and obnoxious form
the Mayor should certainly be able t.
sneak upon this subject with goo'
deal of authority. --

From every part of the State come
success of tie Republican cause. The
attempt to deceive and stampede the
voters of Maine has failed most sig
naily. Republicans arc standing true
to their party-thc party of progress
and prosperity, and will have the as
sistance of thousands Of men hereto

The closing days of the campaign
find the Republican forces all over
Maine alert and active. 1t is evident.
too, that many leading Democrats who
have li:tle to say publicly have made
up their minds to vote the Republican
ticket on election day. The Demo-
cratic campaign Of misrepresentation
and half truths has pretty nearly col
lapsed. Most Of the tissues" with
which they started out have been
dropped by the wayside as. one after
another, they have been shown to be
untenable. The tide is now running
strongly against the Democratic
ticket in all parts of Maine. Encour-
aging reports are coming from Repub-
lican workers in the field. The voters
appreciate the splendid prosperity we
are enjoying today all over Maine, and
they will not be film TANNED by
Democratic misrepresentation into
voting against the party whose great
policies brought about that prosperity.

Still the days go by and our Demo-

them lose sight of the earlier issues

Some Straiqht Facts.

There has been so much figure jug
Cling by the Democratic writer's and
speakers during the present campaign
when they have discussed the subject
of State expenditures, receipts. valua-
ton or debt reduction, that the Jour-
nal gives below a few straight figures
on these subjects taken from the
official records which nobody will
question. Here, for instance, are the
figures showing the State valuation as
made up by the State board of asses
sors during the past decade. A new

Thus 1t appears that the State valu-
alton has increased over $4,000, 900
within the past 10 years. an increase
which shows IN very gratifying fashion
the growth and prosperity Of our
State. Under Republican rule its re-
sources have been developed and it
has made splendid progress along ma
terial lines.
Now let us see what the expendi-
lures and receipts of the State have
been during this same decade. Natur-
ally enough along with this increased
creasing needs Of the State there has
been an increase in State expenditures,
and more than an equal increase in the
revenues of the State. Here are the
official figures for the past 10 years.
