after the dinner and in a speech OF
deep feeling said: Governor Fernald Is
able Just honest and true. NO govern
or of Maine in so short time mas So
endeared himself to the people; mas so
won the respect of his colleagues
hes so proven his worth and value 10
the state AS His EXcellency, Gov. Fer
nald."
You-people of Maine-believe in
return to Office of a good chief eXecu-
tive. You believe that in his second
year he is better equipped to do pub
lie service Than in his first. You be-
lieye in the approval of good service
You believe in the retention OF pup
(ic-servant who has been honest. faith
full, wise and true.
If SO, YOU will vote for Gov. Fernald.
He has been governor of all the pee
ple. He has been a progressive gov
ornor. He has set on foot policies that
shall bring great revenue without tax
alton and from the natural resources OF
the state vested in the people. he mas
been positive force in State affairs.
He has been economical and judicious.
He has lived up to every promise. HE
has worked day and night for pupnc
welfare He has been maligned and
abused. He has been misrepresented
and misunderstood. But his admins
,ration measured by every standard
has been worthy. On that, he deserves
a reelection by a majority OF l5,ooo as
a proof that the people of Maine are
not ungrateful toward an honest, faith
full governor eminent for his broad
craftsmanship and his progressive poll
cies and distinguished for his AFFINITY,
wisdom and common sense. He Is the
best equipped man in Maine today to
handle the question that confronts us.
