LEAGUE SENDS
OUT CIRCULARS

The Voters League sent out yesterday
the following circular letter TO its mem
bers:
The Voters League Of Lincoln. made
up OF citizens OF the town who have
pledged themselves TO use their influence
for law enforcement and TO vote. with
out reference to party names, for the
candidates whose character and records
promise most for good government, re-
spectfully ask the attention OF all who
care for the towns best interests to the
following statement and recommendation
concerning the nominees for town offices:
Town clerk-Benjamin l.. Phetteplace,
Republican; David ID. Johnston. Demo
cratic and Independent
We have no fault to find with Mr..
Phetteplace. but in Mr. Johnston. the
present clerk, we have a tried and ex-
perienced officer as well as a man or
unquestioned integrity, and we believe
II 10 be for the best interests Of the
town that he be continued in office,
Town reasurer-Franklin +. Man
chester has made good officer and
should be reelected. as OF course he will
be. being the only nominee
Town council-Seraphin Fortier Re-
publican: Henry c. Patenaude. Democrat
and Independent.
Mr. Fortier has no record as "A town
officer. He will make no promises with
reference 10 law enforcement The an
nual report OF the town for the year end
ing April 80, 1906. shows him TO be in
debted TO the town for unpaid taxes for
the years 1903. 1904 and 1905 and a por-
tion Of small personal tax for 1902
Mr.. Patenaude is young man Of ex-
celent reputation. He pledges himself
laws We recommend good citizens to
vote for him.
.. Luke Duxbury. Republican, Dean
Nickerson, Democratic and Independent.
Mr. Nickerson has no record as a town
Official. Mr. Duxbury has a record as a
councilman and as license commissioner.
and from the point OF view OF good citi-
zenship IL is very bad one We do not
think any lover OF law and order should
vote for him.
g. Edward e. Dodge Republican; Har-
ry NJ. Roberts, Democratic and Independ-
ent
Mr. Dodge is a man OF excellent char
acter and good ability He personally
stands for law and order. Mr. Roberts
is also a man OF characted and ability.
He has the advantage OF years eX-
perience.
We think he deserves Endorsement for
what he has done, and that the towns
best interests would be served by his re-
election.
4. John s. olney. Republican; Herbert
Harris, Democratic and Independent.
Mr. Olney has a record as council
man. but II seems to US colorless one.
Mr. Harris has always stood squarely
and firmly for what is just and right-He
can be counted on every time for law
enforcement He should receive the vote
OF every good citizen.
(. George T. Aldrich, Republican;
George r. Pierce, Democratic and lnde-
pendent.
MIR. Aldrich Is without public record
and seems TO be known 10 but few ciu-
zens.
Mr.. Pierce has been president of the
council during the past year. 1t is GER
| tainly many years since we have had
| council as generally efficient and as alive
| to the moral interests of the towns as that
| of the past year.
Mr.. Pierce was last year the nominee
of the Republicans and was this year
turned down by that party because OF
| independence in the matter of appoint
mcnts and tho partial enforcement of
! Sunday laws. While we think that the
| program I'm law enforcement has been
| slight, yet a good disposition should be
recognized and all honest efforts In the
| right direction endorsed We think all
good citizens should support Mr.. Pierce
School committee, for three years, Rev
l. u
tree. (Dem. and Ind). For two years.
| Charles r. Eastin (Rep); Herbert T.
Placklnton (Dem. and Ind. These gem
! tlemen are all capable of zlling the office
| fol which they are named. On general
principles we believe the choice should
he from those having experience, viz:
Messrs. Gleason, Crabtree and Blackinton.
Tax assessors. for three years. Edward
G.. Chase CDem. and Ind); Smith NJ.
Rallou (Rep). We thing this position
would be better filled by Mr.. Chase.
For two years. Michael Connor Dem.
and Ind); Phillip Bishop, tRep)
These are both men OF excellent char
acter and good judgment. 1t seems to us
that the choice must depend on personal
preference.
For one year. Louis c. Moisau (Dem.
and Ind): Cleaphe Forter. We think Mr..
Moisau In every way better fitted for the
office The last town report has Mr..
Fortiers name in the list OF unpaid taxes
for 1904 and 1906 which is hardly recon-
mendation for the office OF tax assessor.
Your for better government.
THE VOTERS LEAGUE.
The Republicans of Lincoln tried TO
hold an enthusiastic rally last evening In
McCusker hall. Prospect Hill. The pres
ence OF the Manvile Brass band, how
ever. was the only thing that prevented
the affair from being complete frost.
None of the speakers announced ap-
peared, and the crowd had TO be content
with hearing the local candidates and ex-
Senator Charles r. Easton.
The ovation given to Richard w. Dwan
was much more marked than that given
TO any other speaker. and Mr.. Dwan con-
tented himself with only a few words.
Mr.. Easton was the principal speaker.
FLAG-RA1SING TONIGHT

which was to have been held last even
