Hon. L. NJ. Staples of Washington is
pursuing his quest for the Democratic
nomination for governor despite the in
timations that the party leaders intend
to turn him down. They will find it no
easy task. Mr.. Staples does not include
the word fail in his vocabulary, and
though fail he must, sometimes, he is
ever persistent and untiring. His pres
ent situation illustrates anew the fact
that parties as we'll as republics are un-
grateful. For time he was the lone
Democrat in the State Senate-and, it
must be confessed, thorn il the side of
the dominant party-and in the face of
the overwhelming numbers of the
enemy he bravely waved aloft the ban
er of Democracy and shouted the slo
gans of his party. Yet the chances are
that he may now be set aside for can
didate who has barrel, or one whose
service to the party is an unknown
quantity. Like instances of party in
gratitude nearer home may be recalled.
Hon. VIM. M. Rust, a man of unques-
toned ability, was cheated out of a
nomination for Congress that was an
equivalent to an election, in conven-
ton which met in his home city. Mr..
Lucius H. Murch, one of the most con-
sistent and persistent Democrats in
Waldo County. went.to his grave unre-
warded for lifelong devotion to his
party. The office of city clerk which he
held in his last days was given him by
Republicans because of his familiarity
with the duties and his faithful per-
Torrance of them. So if Hon. Lindley
Murray Staples is to be laid on the
shelf by the Democratic ring he VIII
have the sweet, or bitter, consolation of
knowing that he is not the only one to
be consigned to a political grave by his
party associates. Still, we are not sure
but that Mr. Staples may yet triumph
over his enemies at Democratic head
quarters

BELFAST POISON FACTORIES.
Y GU VIII be Surprised to Learn How Many
There Are.

There Are.
Did you ever feel stupid and dull after
eating hearty dinner?
When food is retained too long in the
stomach, because of stomach weakness, the
poison factory works overtime and there is
giddiness, confusion of thought, despond-
ency, heart burn, sleeplessness, nervous
trouble and other forms of Indigestion.
The general use of Mi-o-na stomach tab
lets puts within the reach of everyone re-
liable and positive cure for all stomach
weakness. Mona quickly cures the worst
case of Indigestion, and the pain and dis
tress which is often felt after meals will
soon disappear, such is the wonderful cura-
tive power Of this little tablet.
Mona acts upon entirely different prin-
cipes from any of the other remedies that
have been used in stomach trouble. 1t is
taken before meals, and has specific
strengthening action upon the muscles of
the stomach, increasing the flow of diges-
tive juices and making the stomach get to
work aud digest easily and naturally the
food which is eaten.
A. A. Howes & Co. have seen SO many
cures made by Mi-o-na that they give
guarantee with every 5O-cent box that the
remedy costs nothing unless it cures.

Chapter ., section 95 OF the Revised
Statutes reads:
Whoever by bribery, menace, wilful
falsehOod or other corrupt means, di-
rectly or indirectly attempts to int1u-
ence any voter in giving his vote or
ballot, or to induce him to withhold it,
or disturbs or binders him in the free
exercise of his right of suffrage at any
election held under the provisions of
the Constitution or of this chapter, and
whoever receives or offers to receive
bride for his vote as aforesaid, shall be
fined not more than five hundred dol
lars, or Imprisoned not more than one
year, and be ineligable to any office for
ten years.
Why does not this apply to the use, or
the promise to use, the citys money
the money collected from the tax pay
ers of the city to directly or indirectly
influence voters? What about the en-
ployment just before election of men
who had been ignored before when
there was work to be done upon the
streets? What about promising to build
steel bridge to influence one class of
voters and steam fire engine to in
fiuence another? 1t is true that these
and many other promises are not likely
to be kept, but the attempts to inf1u-
ence voters are very evident.

James S. Hartman, Esq, is naturally
and righteously indignant at the un
warranted use of his name in a recent
Belfast contribution to the Rockland
Opinion. He is given as authority for
the statement that there is as much
rum sold in the county today as there
ever was" He not only never said
anything that would warrant this use
Of his name, but knows, as does every
person of ordinary intelligence, that
the public sale of liquor in this county
has been effectually stopped, while that
sold surreptetiously is limited. The
statement that zone typical city saloon,
fitted with all the appliances of a
modern bar-room, situated on the main
street of the city, has been, and is at
present, running with wide open DOORS
is false. The saloon in question was
closed some weeks ago ana is likely to
remain closed. AS the greater part of
this letter is devoted to eulogizlng the
present city government the question
may be asked what it has done to
prevent these alleged open and fragrant
violations of law.
The Republican journal., 1908-02-13

There has naturally been good deal
of speculation as to who brought Mr..
Pringle to Belfast to suppress the fire
mems gift enterprise, and street rumor
has done injustice to at least two indi-
viduals, One rumor pointed to promi-
nent city official, and Sheriff Carleton
has also been accused. The latter ru-
NOR has evidently had a political motive
behind it; and we have the authority Of
Mr.. Pringle for stating that both ru-
mors are without foundation, and that
there was no politics in the matter. He
does not give the name Of his inform
ant. of course.
The Republican journal., 1908-02-13

The Republican candidate for Mayor,
nominated at the caucus last Tuesday
evening, needs no introduction to the
people Of Belfast. He is known to
every one as man of ability, of ster-
ling integrity, property owner and tag
payer and good citizen in every sense
of the term. His election will mean the
administration of our city affairs for
the benefit of all the citizens, and not
for the personal agrandizement and
profit of a single individual. You will
make no mistake in casting your vote
for Tileston Wadlin.

Hon. Bert NJ Fernald of Poland was
in Rock land last week looking after his
political fences and in an interview
published in the Courier Gazette takes
a roseate view of the situation. He
claims II counties and a majority of
the delegates in the other five, includ-
ing Mr.. Haines' own county of kenne-
bee; but it may prove that he is count
ing his chickens before they are hatch
ed. Mr.. Fernald stands as firmly as
ever on the resubmission issue, and
said, among other things:
The argument is made by some that
there are young voters who have never
had an opportunity to express them
selves on the resubmission question.
This same argument would apply to the
constitution itself, as we'll as to all the
amendments since it was written
