not overtake it. One issue after another
which they have presented has been
exploded or has proved boomerang to
its originators. They have juggled fig
ures and distorted facts in the most
bare-faced fashion. Their attempts to
make party capital out Of the we'll
deserved and well-justified State help
given the Bangor & Aroostook Rail-
road Is years ago has been an ignO-
minious failure and can only react up
on those who tried to make party cap
! ital out Of it. Their attempt to make
party capital out Of the matter of
State finances can have only the same
result. Equally disastrous has been
their struggle to find an tissue" in the
porcupine bounty law and denaturized
alcohol.
Here in Kennebec county they have
persisted in lying about the condition
of county finances in the face of fig
ures given out over their signatures by
the county commissioners and the
county treasurer. They have even tried
to make party capital out of the
Cooper trial and to make the farmers
believe that sweet cider cannot be sold
under existing laws. The whole sum
and substance of their campaign, in
spite of their hysterical denials. is
that the Maine Democracy is the sub
sidized agent Of the Rum Trust with
it's treasury "gorged with rum money"
as one of Names leading Democrats
has frankly confessed. Their campaign
has been one of repeated insults to the
intelligence and honesty of the people
Of Maine. 1t is the privilege of the vot-
ers of Maine today to give that kind of
a campaign the rebuke it deserves.
Let there be a full Republican vote
today and there is no doubt of the re-
suit in any part of the State and no
doubt of the effect Of our victory
throughout the country. The Demo-
Gratis will poll their full party strength
and we must do the same. There is no
excuse for any Republican who stays
AT home, or allows any engagement to
interfere with the casting of his ballot
That is the same as voting for the
other side. Neither is there any excuse
for cutting a ticket today. Vote early
and vote straight. See that your
neighbor does also. Put in personal
worl, and make it your individual duty
that a full party vote is cast at the
polls. There is much at stake. and il
is a privilege to have a part in the
grand work. There was never time
in the history Of the nation or the State
of Maine, when it was a prouder thing
to cast a Republican ballot than it l:

and the overwhelming victory Of the
Republican ticket in Vermont has re-
vealed that 50 far from being swayed
by the specious arguments of the fel-
lows who wanted a change mainly for
their own selfish purposes, the contrary
effect was produced.
A similar verdict of condemnation of
like methods in the Maine campaign
should be forthcoming. by all rights,
and in vindicatiOn of the sentiment of
common political honesty and decency.

Let every Republican in Maine make

BY actual count there were $40
persons at the Democratic rally in the
Augusta Cityshall last Friday evening.
This was shortly after the speaking
began, when the attendance was
largest, and not near the close when
many had left the hall. Having as
certained this fact, we waited with
some interest to see the figures which
the Waterville Sentinel would publish
about the meeting. Knowing its
habits we were therefore not surprised
to see it state the attendance as 1900.
This was only multiplying the actual
attendance by about two and one-half
and shows great moderation and self
restraint on the part of Mr.. Davis

said there were $50 people present, tn,

How One Producer Disposed Of His

Before beginning to ship we made
arrangements with a commission firm
to handle our whole crop, says an Illi-

how many baskets we expected to have
and how we would grade and mark
them. This arrangement proved much
more satisfactory than shipping to half
q dozen or more firms, as had been our
previous custom.
My experience the past season con-
firms the belief that the way to make
money out of melon growing is to
build up a reputation for shipping
good goods and have your own brand
or trade mark. We made Is ship
ments to our commission man and
had goods in every shipment that sold
at the highest price. This result was
secured by holding up the quality. AS
the season progressed we culled closer
