slllS SHOW OH the sidewalk While tbs
cantor had been away fishing all thai
day.
AS for those fellows that carried
those Vermin that Mayor Plaisted tells
about up to the Kennebec jail, | viii
take my oath that they didn't get
them in Augusta lookup while
was Janitor. If a man was arrested
ana had creererS in his head or bee
bugs in his clothes | don't think tho
Janitor of City hall on a salary of S1Oi
a year should be obliged to take q fin,
comb and go on the hunt for thos,
Volmin when Mr. Sheriff is settin.
N"o-it seems as though he ought tc
do that himself
Now we will so from that dirty
lookup to the windows. When | was
put in janitor of City hall it was il,
the month of November and the first
thing | did outside of the genera
work in the building WAS to wash the
windows which | did on the first and
second stories inside and out and the
inside of the hall windows in the
top story and would have done the
outside of them if it had not got SC
cold that man couldn't stand out
there three stories in the air on a
window stool with wet hands.
Now, when it comes spring, with
nice warm weather, Mr.. Janitor says:
Il can't wash those windows for il
makes me dizzy" Mr. Mayor. SO ]
am told, says: You. get someone t.
wash them for you and | will see that
the CITY pays for it, They hire Mr.
Carey and pay him $3.50 per day, but
still Mr.. Janitor can put on his uni
1orm go out to Togus with the police
on search and seizure jobs and draw
his pay for janitor and pay as pn-
lice officer and still have man to do
his work and pay him $3.50 day. Who
wouldn't be janitor? Wonder if those
windows have been washed since last
spring?
If Mr.. Sheriff Mayor had taken the
trouble after he had been in office II
months to have gone and looked at
The wash bowl and water closet in the.
lower corridor he would have found Il
place fully as dirty as he represents he
found the lookup when he went into
Office. When Mr. Bison took the KEYS;
to city hall I think he will say that
with the exception of the hall floor
being dirty by having an entertainment
there the night before, that the build
ing was good and clean from top ~
bottom and | will leave it to those
who were there every day to say
whether it was or not.

Shall. REPUBLICANS
Be CATSPAWS
The Democratic Candidates Will Not Be Permitted
To Befog the Issue and Win the First Skirmish
in State and National Campaign Of 1908.

There are hundreds of men who vot-
cd for Mayor PIaisted who will not
vote for the Sheriff Mayors re-elec-
ton. They are being accused and be-
rated as departing from their aVowed
non partiSan principles in municipal
affairs because they are going to vote
the Republican ticket next Monday.
II is the Sheriff Mayor who has been
recreant to pledges made Of treating
his honorable Office as mayor in a nom
partisan manner He is not running
for mayor in order to serve the city.
He is running for mayor to strengthen
his candidacy for sheriff this fall. His
cmolunents of $4,000 the past year as
sheriff tempt him to seek to use the
office of mayor for partisan purposes
ana to assure his reelection to the
county office.
The sheriff mayor has another mo
tive. He has been leader Of the
Democratic machine in Maine-he
wants to dominate and control that
machine and he wants to build up his
party for the State and National cam
paign. If he can coax, cajole and
charm the voters to make him mayor
again it will be just SO much easier
for him in his fight for sheriff again.
He will be more powerful as a boss.
He will get credit throughout the ma
ton and give hope to Democrats
everywhere if he can carry the capital
city in q Presidential year. The city
of Morrill, Blaine and ManIey has a
widespread fame and the Sheriff
Mayor wants the party advantage that
will come from his reelection. 1his
is politics, not business; let him be as
clever as he may try in his bluffs.
1t is not To be denied that Sheriff
Mayor plaisted has many fricndS5
warm friends who wish him we'll but
who feel paramount duty to their
principles and who will vote against
him for reasons similar to those If
Non partisan" whose letter is print
cd elsewhere in this paper. The
"grsce and charm" of the Sheriff
Mayor viii not help him to befos the
issue. He is an avowed Democrat, an
avowed candidate for reelection this
fall as sheriff on a frankly partisan
Democratic ticket. He seeks Repub
iican support in the n1ayoralty election
but he cannot bluff his way through.
He is not "business" mayor but an
office seeker working to obtain political
prestige and advantage.
. Look at his opponent. Ira II. Ran
dan is clean, strong man; 4 sue
cessful business manager. He did not
seek oficc--it sought him. MIR. Ran
dali is running for mayor, not trying
to win mere trial heat in political
contest. Mr.. Randall has had expert
cncc in handling business matters and
in handling men. He will make
strong honest. able mayor While nc
has the Republican nomination he has
also the support of the business mon
of both parties. He has the support
Of every voter who objects to being
made cats paw to rake $1,000 out of
the hot Goals of county politics for the
benefit of the sheriff mayor. 1t is
simple, straightforward proposition.
Mr.. Randall should have and will get
.he full Republican vote and will be
elected.
