He was elected mayor Of Augusta in
1906 and reelected in 1907 and 1903, in

Liquor Important Factor.

Although apparently the liquor ques-
ton was not brought TO the limelight
very much by the spellbinders of either
party, yet it must be said that 1t had
more to do with Maine going Demo
cratic than any, other issue. The leg
islature q few years ago passed the
so called Sturgis law, which gave the
governor the right to send deputies
into a county. and enforce the liquor
law where itEwas believed that the
sheriff had been. derelict in his duty.
This law was passed in 1905, and it
was supposed that it would be repealed
by the legislature OF, 1907. The repeal
was voted by the legislature. but was
vetoed by Governor Cobb. After the
election of two years ago it was sup
posed that the last legislature would
surely repeal the law, and hundreds
and hundreds of Republicans voted
that ticket with that understanding
The repeal was passed by the legisla
ture, but Governor Fernald exercised
his veto power and the law remained
on the statute books.
Another phase of the prohibitory
liquor law was the failure of the past
three legislatures to resubmit the law
to the people. In 1884, when James
G. Blaine was the Republican nominee
for the presidency, the prohibitory
liquor law was made a part of the

the United States by his gu
bernatorial victory In Maine,
has broken many political records in
his brief career.
Not only has he the novel distinction
of being the son Of Names last Dem
ocratic governor, but also these notch
es in his political gunstock:
First Democratic sheriff of Kennebec
county since its establishment in 1879.
First Democratic mayor Of Augusta, the
last forty years. He is serving his fourth
term.
First Democratic governor OF Maine for
thirty years.

Maine went Democratic the last time

and had served a term in congress
from the Fourth district as a member
OF that party.

Young Men Interested.

The necessary twO-thirds vote was
lacking. Thousands of young men
who never had a chance to vote on
the question cast Democratic ballots
recently on that issue alone. The ma
jority of them said that they did not
necessarily favor license. but that they
wanted a chance to vote on the ques-
ton.
They further contended that the mat
ter had not been referred to the peo-
pie for twenty-six years and that they
should be given the right to vote on
it. The Democratic platform was
strong for the repeal of the Sturgis
law and for resubmission.
Another factor was the control OF
state affairs by the so called Kicker
ring of the Republican party.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions.

An examining physician for one Of
the prominent Life Insurance COM
panies, in an interview on the subject
made the astonishing statement that
the reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people, and the large ma
jority of applicants do not even sus-
pect that they have the disease. He
states that judging from his own ex-
perience and reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch
with the public, there is one prepare
ton that has probably been more sue
cessful In relieving and curing these
diseases than any remedy known.

RINGBONES

This formation is found on the cor
onet, either on fore or hind feet, per-
haps extending all the way round like
a ring taking positions high up near
the fetlock or close to the foot or
hoof, sometimes right in front or per
haps directly at the back of the cor
onet. The ringbone is easy Of de-
tectioi. The swelling is too promi-
nent to escape notice Should the
ringbone be at the front the swelling
will probably be convex, at the cor
onet a thick ring all around the foot
at the back small projecting bunch

too hard work when too young, bruis-
es, blows and sprains, accidents to
tendons and ligaments, also contrib

ing the sole may be taken in as a
cause Of the ringbone, while heredity,

held in part at least responsible for
the tending of some horses to ring

This fact should be noted in breed

FIGHTING EXTRACTION
Bennington County Man in Trouble
At Montpelier


At Montpelier
Montpelier, Nov. 30.-Detectlve B.
S. Van Deusen of Schenectady, N. Y,
was in Montpelier Monday evening to
meet Attorney General Sargent and
arrange for hearing before Cover
nor Mead on the granting of extradlt-
ion papers for William Dusablon of
Bennington county, who Is charged
with the desertion of a child under 16
years OF age in the city of Science
tady.
1t was necessary to secure hear
ing as there was some hitch In the
proceedings brought about by Deming
I& Deming Of Arlington, attorneys for
the man wanted by Van Deusen.
Dusablon was arrested a short time
ago in Bennington county on a tech
nical charge of intoxication and re-
leased on bail until Monday. When
he was arraigned Detective Van Deu-
sen appeared with requisition papers
signed by Governor White of New
York.
When Dusablon learned what he
was wanted for he refused to waive
extradition and accompany Van Deu-
sen to Schenectady and the case was
continued for week in order to give
the officer a chance to secure the nee
essary papers from the governor.
The attorneys for Dusablon said
that II extradition papers were to be
secured they desired a hearing in the
matter.
The prisoner, It is alleged, also de-
serted his wife, leaving her with the
child without any visible means Of
support. The charge against him,
However, is for deserving a child un-
der 16 years OF age which in New
York state constitutes a misdemeanor
for which there Is a fine and impris-
onment. The fine can be turned over
for the support Of the deserted fam
lily.
The attorneys for Dusablon say he
can provide for his wife and child II
they will come to Vermont and live
with him, but Mr.. Van Deusen is con.
fldent his requlsition papers are all
right and he will have no trouble in
securing the necessary authority to
take his man back with him.
Detective Van Deusen has figured
in many prominent cases among them
the Beecher Faber murder case which
startled northern New York a couple
OF years ago.

Chicago, Nov. 3O--Railroads Of
this country are asking only fair
treatment in the matter of the pro-
posed increase in class rates, and
they are doing so in an orderly and
businesslike way. They are making
no threats. They are making no de-
mands. They have presented evil
dence which to them seems to support
their contentious, and that will be fol
lowed by arguments showing the JUS
tiee of their position"
That was the reply made by Will

about published reports to the effect
that the railroads and allied financial
interests were seeking to intimidate
the country by talk of panics and

approval of the new schedules

the effect of the published proposed
rates.
