Byron Boyd. chairman Of the Republican State
Committee, said regarding the outlook:
Bert NJ Fernaid, the Republican nominee for
Governor. the four candidates for Congress and
the candidate for State AaaiteE and fourteen out

In my opinion one of the worst things that hap
years was the ssooo piursiify given William Nc
kinley in 1886. This set a false mark for piu-
been impressed on the minds OF the people. Now
when our plurality falls below o6o8 the Democrats
ISss when 50 many Democrats left their party and
SUPPORTED Mckinley because Of the free silver
issue, our puralties ranged around 1900 70 900
Only in 1890 Chairman Joseph H. Manley OF the
state committee wired President Harrison on Elec-
ton night with great gle- that Edwin C. Burleigh
had been elected Governor by 1900, II was con-
sidered great vote IN an or year. In 1892 our
Everything considered the outlook for the SUCCESS
Of the Republican ticket is excellent this year.
Fred Emery Beane Of HalIowelI, chairman OF
the Democratic State Committee says:
I believe that Obadiah Gardner. of Rockiand.
the Democratic nominee for Governor will poll
70. GOO votes in the coming election. and If he
does he will necessarily be the next Governor of
Maine I have letters here which show that
members Of whole families men who have al
ways voted the Republican ticket, viii cast their
lot with the Democracy this year. I have also
letters which show that in two three instances
the members of the Republican committee in
towns will vote for Gardner, and there is a
stretch of road in this state three miles long
where every farmer viii vote the Democratic
ticket this year
There viii be speakers from abroad in the
state this year for the Democracy. do not be-
lieve that the from outside the state are
competent 10 discuss state issues with our peo /
pie and those the issues at stake in this cleo
ton. Thousands of Republicans, tired Of the old
ring ruling them and fociing them on law en-
forrement enthusiastic for Gardner this year
