Some Inaccuracies Corrected.
Sheriff Mayor Plaisted. in his spec


Sheriff Mayor Plaisted. in his speech
accepting the third nomination for
mayor of Augusta, declared that when
he came into office he found the road
machine and street roller out in the
snow where they had lain all winter
rusting and rotting. The former street
commissioner Of the western district
informs us that he personally built a
good, tight shed for the storage Of the
street roller and that when he put it
away there at the close of the season
he had man go carefully over it.,
of it. and that when Mayor Plaisted
came into office it was in that shed
was true that the road machine was
not housed for the reason that there
was no room for it, but he states that
this machine, which is practically all
iron WAS very thoroughly painted by
his direction just before the snow
came and that as result it came
through the winter in perfect condi-
ton.
These are small things, perhaps, but
since we are discussing city affairs it
NAV be best after all to be somewhat
accurate in our statements. We do
not blame the Sheriff Mayor for en-
deavoring to make what political CAPT.
tai he can but we insist that it should
be done by fair and reputable methods.
We know that he is looking ahead
with some anxiety to the Forthcoming
State and national elections of this
year. That he is building up a politi
cal machine for participation in them
is demonstrated by his adroit Inanipu-
lation % the extra large number OF
deputies under his control. He hopes

port Of their own ticket. There is 4
very general feeling among members
of that party that he has had the office
of mayor long enough and now that he
is running q third time for purely po-
litical reasons they are not willing 70
give him their support. The Demo-
Gratis Of Augusta. with some notable
exceptions. will vote for Mr.. Piaistad
on election day. hut the members of
the Republican party will line up as
a unit in support Of the magnificent
ticket which they have in the field and
which commands their confidence and
their support.

Of course the Journal is 10th to be-
lieve that Mayor Plaisted could have
known that Aldermen Skehan. Noyes
and Locke we're carrying on all this
business with the city in violation OF
the law, and yet he ought to have
known it. If he had not been so busy
with his duties as sheriff, which the
country pays him s4i00 yearly to per
form. we are forced to believe that ne
would have been able to attend to the
affairs of the city sufficiently 10 have
known about these cases, and knowing
about them of course he would
promptly have put an end 10 such
business. It is inconceivabie that
Mayor Plaisted. who boasts that his
administration has been one of bust
ness and not Of politics, would have
allowed three members of his board of
aldermen to 10 business of hundreds
and hundreds Of dollars each with
the city in direct violation of the law!
Let the taxpayers of Augusta study
these tables and think over the matter.
They will certainly have no trouble i'll
reaching the conclusion that it has
been a business" administration. but
do they want that kind Of business
