present campaign in relation to this
matter for purely partisan politics, for
l realize that the legislation was for
the best interest of Aroostook county
and the entire State of Maine. l feel
that it is only fair in me to state the
truth and to refute the assertions of
those who have dragged this matter
into this campaign in order to preju-
dice voters"
It will be seen from the foregoing
that the Democratic members of the
Legislature of 1891 were not "de-
ceived" or bulldozed'' on this matter
neither were they asleep when it Sc
cured its passage. Furthermore, they
had no desire to evade responsibility
in connection with this legislation Mr.
Bass presented this question to them
upon its merits and they responded by
giving it their united and hearty sup
port.
1t was a measure introduced by a
leading Democrat. drawn up by the
best Democratic lawyer in Maine, and
passed with the unanimous and hearty
support of the Democratic members of
the Legislature. In view Of these
facts, the criticism of Candidate Davis
and his organ comes with exceedingly
poor grace, and puts them in anything
but an enviable position before the
voters of Maine.

Davis's Damaged Stock.
portland Press.)


Cyrus w. Davis appears to have
dropped his three bottles of rum; at
least he has not spoken of them for as
much as three days, so far as appears
from the reports of his speeches. But
there are certain of his statements
which reappear every time with tire
some sameness. He is not to be bla med
for this perhaps, for these things con-
stitute his entire stock in trade and
he cannot spare any of them. They
are rather shOpwOrn and damaged.
to be sure; some of the goods are
mOth-eaten and full of shot holes: but
he mas to make the most of them.
conceal the damaged parts from the
public and try to make it believe that
they are quite as good as new. We
perceive from the Sentinel report Of
his speech at Exeter Saturday that he
trotted out at that place the same
old issues, the same old spawned,
CALLED and wincing nags
and put them through their PAGES. For
example. mr. Davis then discussed at
length the financial transactions Of the
Republican party in Maine; the in
creasing offices and salaries; the rail
road subsidies etc. But he did not
say what he might have said in truth.
that the result of those financial
transactions has been a great reduc-
ton of the State debt and at the same
time reduction of the tax burden
from four and one-half to two and
Onc-half mills on the dollar. He did
not mention the fact. however that
as a member of the LEGISLATURE he
voted for every increase of salaries
recommended by the committee. in
Guiding those of the justices of the Su-
2reme court and a number of the
county attorneys. and that he stated

the dissent Of n single one of the A. in
House and Senate. Now by implication
they are held up TO scorn by their candi-
date for GOvtrnOr as actively or passive
ly supporting a dScreditabe piece of leg
islation. 1T would not be in human ra-
ture for them to like it,
But Mr. Davis's newspaper discrelits
him also III the same way, for il says:
The kennebec Journal wants the Senti-
mel to explain why, when the Somerset
Railroad bill was pending in the Legis-
lature of 1905. Hon. Cyrus w. Davis fail
ed to raise his voice in opposition to it"
Well, we have no explanation to offer
and would not offer it if we had. Mr.. Da-
vis:s course has nothing whatever to do
with the matter. 1t was not his bill nor
his voice against"
This is Il rather weak plea in defence
1t makes no difference who was the au-
thor of the bill. If Mr.. Davis considered
it against good policy it was his business
to oppose the bill. The fact that he did
not oppose it is fair ground for the nr"-
sumption that he did not so consider il
at the time. The bill passed with his
taclt approval, and it was not until sew
eral years later that he discovered that
he could make some political capital out
of the measure, unmindful that in 50 do
ing he would be iInpeachlng the record of
party friends and his own record

Some Of the Criminals.
(Portland PreSS.)


They are calling that railroad subsidy
lob the crime of '91.-Waterville Sentinel
If that is the case. If the passage Of
the bill granting to the Bangor 4 Aroos-
took railroad a % per cent. rebate of its
taxes for twenty years was a crime. II
follows that A, Democratic members in
the Legislature who were conScnting to
it. were participants in the crime. 1t is
strange that Mr.. Davis's paper should be
willing to bring such an accusation
against members of his own party. The
only explanation that suggests itself IS
that he thinks these men should be sac
rifccd for the cause. In the eNigencies
of politics he has decided to make what
he calls State subsidies one Of his cam
paign issues, regardless of his own rec
ora and that of party associates IN the
matter and regardless of how he convicts
himself and them of Inconsistency. 1t is
anything to fool the people and make
votes. Who are some of the criminals
implicated in that crime of 81 ~ Mr.. Da
is can plead an alibi. as he was not in
politics at that time. But one of those in
the House at the time was Frank l..

Charles +. GuEtill of Portland, there was
Halsey H. Moore of Thomaston, there
was Zen Moore Of Arson. there was Ben

staunch Democrats, and there were many
more. MI Osgood was a member of the

He Does Not Bear Investigation.

The Republicans interested in Colby

papers attacking Mr.. Davis for giving
his active aid and support to measures
for the benefit of those institutions

No Republican paper has attacked
Mr.. Davis for his part in securing
legislative aid for the institutions men
toned. The Sentinel is challenged to
quote any paper as SO attacking Mr.
Davis. 1t is simply engaged in its
favorite game of distorting facts in the
hope Of deceiving some voter who does
not bother to look up the truth The

These institutions. along with other
equally worthy and deserving inter-
ests. have received the help from the
State treasury which justice has de-
manded. There was just as much
extravaganza" and no more and no
less, in giving them State aid as there
was in similar appropriations for other
educational institutions and fairs, and
pensions, etc.
1t is decidedly inconsistent to say
the least for man who worked for
these appropriations and voted for
them, knowing well they We're for the
best interests Of the State, to stand up
now and denounce them as 1.-The eX-
travagances of a Republican Legisla-
ture." 1t is on a par with the ac-
ton of Candidate Davis in voting for
increased salaries, when member of
the Legislature, and now railing
against these higher salaries from the
stump. 1t is on a par with his action
of silence and acquiescence as a men,
Der of the Legislature when the meas
ure was passed giving deserved and
necessary aid to the Somerset railroad,
and now denouncing that measure as
graft" 1t is on par with his talk
about the Increased burden" of State
taxation when as a matter of fact the
State tax rate is lower now than for a
generation and the burden of State
taxation was never SO light upon the
people of Maine. 1t is on a par with
his attempt to bamboOzle voters into
believing that Maine would have bet
ter and more honest government under
the party whose only record when
given power has been a record of in
efficiency. dishonesty, blunders and
corruption. Candidate Davis puts up
ncrvy bluff, but he does not stand
investigation and he cannot deliver the
goods

From every part of the county come

was nothing "scurrilous" about them.
The greater part of Mr.. Davis cam
paign to date has been in the nature
of attacks upon corporate interests
which he would have US believe are in
some way ipimical to the public well
fare. 1t is not surprising therefore
that he Is somewhat resentful OF the
voters being acquainted with the fact
that he is himself stakeholder and
official in n number of mammoth cor
porations whose capital stock aggre-
gates no less than s23,0O0,0 900. In 60
ing "back to the people" he certainly
will want them to know all the facts
and there are many interesting ones
that have not as yet appeared in print
concerning his own intimate connec-
tion with great corporate interests. q
few of which, that he chances to have
no connection with, he has singled GU
for attack in the present campaign.
