ming vigorous campaign to this end
as soon as the dam is entirely COM
pleted.
The coming year will be vitality
important one for the prosperity of
Ellsworth. In what spirit should the
city meet these men who have already
done so much for Ellsworth and who
give assurances of doing so much
more? Should it be with spirit Of
antagonism, with one hand at their
threats and the other reaching for
their pocket books, or should it be
with a spirit of friendly welcome,
safeguarding all the interests of the
city, but with broader view for the
future prosperity of the city rather
than greedy grasp for the dollar i'm
mediately in sight?
Do we want to intrust the indus
trial development of Ellsworth to a
party which heaps ridicule on the
board of trade OF Ellsworth, or do we
want to intrust it to men who will
support the board Of trade in it's hon
est and united effort for the prosper
ity of the city?
The construction of the dam in such
q marvelously short time furnishes
lesson and an inspiration for us all.
1t shows what can be done by co-ope-
ration and united effort. This great
undertaking was only brought to such
swift and successful completion by
many men working together; there
was no friction, no fault finding, no
criticism; each man did his level best
to produce the finest work in the
shortest possible time.
To make Ellsworth the most pros
porous as well as the most beautiful
city Of Maine, we only need united
effort, in harmony with the men who
have already expended money 90
literally here.
Will the voters of Ellsworth vote
for the party which prides itself on
having hampered in every way It
could this great enterprise, or win they
vote for the party which is pledged
heart and soul to work unitedly for
bigger, better, more beautiful Ellis
worth

the more important work OF preparation.
As this is presidential year and the cleo

efforts will be made to run the four con-

The Municipal Election.

The Municipal Election.
The republicans and democrats OF
Ellsworth have met in their respective
caucuses, and have placed in nomina-
ton party tickets, and during the time
between now and election day-March
2-both parties will be busy in ap-
pealing to the voters for their sup
port.
There being in this municipal cam
paign no national or state issues that
can be settled by the result of this
election, appeals will be made, as they
always are in local elections, by both
sides for support on personal grounds.
If ever there was justification in a
local election for an appeal to party
loyalty, it is in this campaign. The
republican party is in control OF the
nation, the State and the county; the
party in Ellsworth is itself responsible
for its not being now in control in city
affairs.
We are on the eve of one of the
most important national contests in
our country's history; tremendous is.
sues are at stake; policies have been
promulgated, works undertaken and
unfinished, works projected, grave
questions involving the tariff and the
currency, are to be settled, and all
these ought to be left with the party
which has handled some of them be-
fore and settled them right, and which
may be depended upon wisely to set
tie the others.
In our State affairs republican SUI
premacy is threatened-as ever by
opponents from without, and by some
within our own ranks.
In county affairs wise counsel and
concerted action can repair the breach
made in the republican ranks in recent
years.
In local affairs the only possible
excuse for breaking away from party
lines is the personal unftness of can
didates. Happily even this excuse is
now lacking, for with rare good judg-
ment the republicans have placed in
nomination ticket which for char
acter and standing in this community
has not been questioned even by our
friends the enemy.
In many previous municipal cam
paigns, men known to be republicans
have been charged either with in
difference to party success, Or with
actually voting the opposition ticket.
Certainly to one or the other of these
causes is due democratic success in
this city. So far as observation goes,
both these causes seem to be elimi-
mated in this campaign.
Candidates and committeeman are
hard at work; ward committees are
unusually active, and everywhere one
sees a grim determination to win.
And it is this sort of spirit that does
win.
The situation, therefore, is very
clear, and the duty of republican
voters plain. They are in majority
in Ellsworth, and If they do their
duty, the result of the coming cleo
ton cannot be in doubt.

ga Square Deal.


In the speech nominating Mr.. Stuart
for mayor, he was commended for
t'the wise and firm stand taken by
him in dealing with the Bar Harbor
& Union River Power Co. and its
auxiliary corporations.
To one unfamiliar with the facts this
would give the impression that the
Bar Harbor & Union River Power
Co. was a corporation engaged in
some doubtful enterprise, OF was en-
deavoring to work some injury upon
the city Of Ellsworth by unfair or dis
honorable means.
Now, while we have no connection
with the Bar Harbor & Union River
Power Co., and hold no brief for that
concern or any other corporation, We
believe in fair play and justice, and
the statement referred to is neither
fair nor just, and is misleading.
Let US see how this greedy octopus
of corporation, as our friends the
democrats would have us believe it is,
has been trying to gobble up the city
of Ellsworth. What are the facts?
The Bar Harbor & Union River
Power Co. is controlled by men of the
very highest honor and standing, men
whose word is as good as their bond,
and who have carried out to the letter
every agreement they have made,
promptly, and without any attempt at
evasion.
The present city government, or the
controlling member of it, Aid. Stuart,
has evinced no spirit of liberality
toward this company, but has through
out assumed an attitude decidedly an
tagonistic. And the company on its
part has promptly complied with
every request of the city government.
What has the power company done
for Ellsworth? 1t needs no extended
argument to prove the benefits
already resulting from the building of
the dam. The company has bought
and paid cash for all property needed,
OAeSAA az oOaoAO WAae tI1C wv uCI5 COulQ
have obtained for it from anyone else;
it has given employment to many
men at higher rate of wages for
labor than was ever before paid in
Ellsworth; it has expended here
something like 100000 during the
past year, and the money thus put in
circulation has materially added to
the taxable valuation of Ellsworth
through the building or rebuilding of
many new stores and dwellings; it
has added to the scenic beauties and
property values of Ellsworth by Gre
ating new lake and opening up
many desirable building sites.
The magnificent dam and power.
house constructed by the company
are the pride OF the city, and have
spread its name to the uttermost
parts of the earth. 1t is fair to say
that where formerly hundreds might
have heard of Ellsworth, thousands
are now familiar with her name. The
company has expended money with
no niggard hand, and has built a
that is not only a model
Of efficiency, but also an ornament to
the city.
But what the company has so far
done for Ellsworth is only the begin
ming. To make the large investment
here paying one it is absolutely nee
essary for the company to bring in
dustries to Ellsworth, and il. is plan
