Alderman Curtis Speaks.

To the Tar payers Of Elisrorth:
An alleged republican voter" OF ward

publicans did not nominate me for mayor.

and discussion, but in defence OF myself,
must state few facts.
In the first pla-e- ] will say positively
that declined to accept nomination for
either alderman or mayor, and so in
formed the republican city committee.

ticket, but when / took my seat at the
board threw away all politics and knew
neither republican nor democrat. was
for the city OF Ellsworth, and to serve the
interest Of the whole city, regardless OF
politics, was my only desire, and carried
it out so far as I could as one Of the
minority.
According to my Judgment, Aid. Stuart
has not looked, breathed or spoken in
any way or manner throughout the mu-
nicipal year, except as furthering his own
political ends and ambitions. Every move
he has made has had politics behind it.
Some criticism has been made of the
nominee for alderman from ward 1, Albert
F. Stockbridge, for his position on the
Sundsy-closing movement. Mr.. Stock
bridge had some excuse for the stand he
took, as he was looking after his own BUSH
ness interests. In my judgment, the
whole storm centre in the Sunday closing
agitation was Aid. Stuart, who purposely
misconstrued the intention Of the petit
TONERS for Sunday observance, and
stirred up the agitation for political reas-
ons. II our nominee is to be condemned
for his attitude, how about City Treasurer
Leland, who took the same stand?

about the woodlot. hope did; try to

the taxpayers OF Ellsworth something

mistakes may perhaps have been
made, but even these voters are not
disfranchised, as their names will be
reinstated if they appear before the
board which is in session this week
and show to its satisfaction that they
have a right to vote in Ellsworth. 4
So much for the acknowledgements
of $50 voters. But what let's all the
gas out of this balloon as political
scandal" is the fact that in no case
where a name was cut OF the list
was there disagreement between the
democratic and republican members
Of the board of registration, and in
no case was the chairman Of the board
called upon to cast deciding vote.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1908-02-26

One argument ~ our democratic
friends are using against the election
Of DR.. Simonton as mayor US that he
has other business. Do the voters of
Ellsworth prefer a man who has no
other business but politics, or a man
who has worked his own way through
college, and established for himself
an honorable place in the community
and successful business? Will they
take their chances with the man who
has never made success of any bust
ness or profession, or with the man
who has? The republican nominees
for mayor and aldermen are all sue.
cessful business men.

The statement by Alderman Stuart
that the present city government
saved to the city more than 81, 900 by
squeezing the power company, is an
exaggeration. A large part of the
expense of the road and bridge
changes was to be borne by the power
company under the original agree
ment made by the previous admins
tration, with the endorsement of
mass meeting of the taxpayers.

Those "Disfranchised, Voters

Those s'Disfranchised'' Voters.
Candidate Stuart has been trying to
make political capital out of the re-
vision of the voting list by the board
Of registration during the past year.
Something like 140 names were
stricken of the list, or, as Candidate
Stuart puts it, $3.50 voters were IL
legally disfranchised." Candidate
Stuart, 1t may be noted in passing,
does not often stop at fact if little
exaggeration will help furnish gas for
his political balloon.
As matter of fact, a large number
OF those whose names were stricken
of the list are dead, or have q voting
residence elsewhere. The board was
entirely within it's authority in strik-
ing of the names; a few-a very few

ga Square Deal"

The editorial in THE AMERICAN
last week, headed square Deap',
seems to have created the issue in the
present municipal campaign-the
future industrial welfare of Ellsworth.
Alderman Stuart has juggled facts
and figures and exhausted invective
in an attempt to defend his position,
and having reached the limit OF his
power of argument, resorts to the
usual tactics OF the peanut politician,
and INDUCES in abusive personalities.
The result of the article last week
on our friend Alderman Stuart proves
that it reached sensitive spot.
"Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad" Alderman Stuart is
very mad.
THE AMERICAN sees no reason to
alter in the least it's statement last
week that Alderman Stuart's attitude
all last year was antagonistic to the
power company. We, say Alderman
Stuart's attitude, and we made this
clear last week when we referred to
him as the controlling member of the
board. 1t is fact beyond question
that he was the dictator of last years
board of aldermen. In justice to
Mayor Greedy it may be said that he
repeatedly, in open board meeting,
expressed himself as not in sympathy
with Alderman Stuart in his attitude
toward the power company.
To give color to his contention that
he was not antagonistic to the power
company, Alderman Stuart now pro-
fesses his very pleasant relations with
Messrs. Graham, Hall and Leonard,
and quotes one of the leading officials
Of the power company as saying. "If
I could feel q sure Of as liberal and
courteous treatment from the next
administrations as I have received
from the present one, would be per-
fectly satisfied" 1t is one OF the
Of an efficient official of
. public service corporation to come
up smiling after every knock down
blow. The official is probably cor
'ectly qopted.
Mr.. Stuart, in his reply to THE
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1908-02-26

Isn't Candidate Stuart's campaign
organ little out of tune? One page
is devoted to laudation of the power
company and its officials in an at
tempt to prove how friendly Candi-
date Stuart feels toward the company,
but his real attitude toward the COM
pany sticks out all over the rest of
the paper.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1908-02-26

Candidate Stuart boasts in public
that CDR. Simonton has no more
chance of defeating him for mayor
than SNOWFALL has Of retaining it's
rotundity in help. The people of
Ellsworth may laugh at the pictur-
esque if not elegant language OF the
alderman from ward 2, who has long
been looked upon as a huge joke, but
they will hesitate before they invest
such man with the dignity of the
office Of mayor. The robe Of Office
would be a ridiculous misfit.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1908-02-26

The taste OF prosperity Ellsworth
has had during the construction Of
the big dam has not only put many
good dollars in Ellsworth pockets,
but has resulted in an advance in
price OF labor which bids fair to prove
permanent. The laboring men of
Ellsworth want more of this kind of
prosperity. But the music of the
dinner pals will never be created by
Stuart tactics in dealing with men who
come here with the view of locatir z
factories.
