that Maine is financially wonderfully
strong today and that Governor Fern
aid has acted throughout in a BUSH
ness like manner with broad wisdom,
with patriotic attention to the needs of
Maine in all the disbursements of the
past two years in carrying on the pub
lie affairs of Maine.
Surely it is not Democracy. whose
representatives endorsed all of the
Governors financial schemes. before
they were carried into effect. that
should criticize the administration of
the last two years. The only criticism
which we naturally would expect
would be that coming from the wild
land owners whose interests have
been the only ones actually touched,
the wild land owners, either. very
much. The disbursements of Cover
nor Fernalds administration have
been during these last two years large.
it is true. Unusual appropriations,
such as those for the State House al
terations and the home for feeble
minded. the increased cost for the
public schools of Maine and the very
greatly enlarged total of appropria-
lions for State roads have proved a
great burden for this as it would for
any adminitration. Nevertheless
Maine is not only able to pay its bills
butfsthe direct tax has not been in
creased nor will it be and the burden
of the cities and towns of Maine have
been largely shoudered by the State,
1t was grand speech.
1t was wise act of the Republicans
in convention assembled to again de-
mand. as they unanimously insisted,
that Governor Fernald be their leader
through the present political cam
paign and again serve as the chief ex-
ecutive of the State.

to have for it's chief EXECUTIVE Cover

were like strong northwest breeze

since been held here and there over

The truth is that Governor Fernald' S
reply to his critics, which will always

that the Democratic criticism of the

The Miners will be out for their regular practice this morning between the hours ten and twelve. This weeks practice promises to be a good one, for the boys are working up to stand the attack of the Fl Paso team and the bunch of fans" they will bring with them. The Fl Paso players are counting on taking both games by storm. Their players are getting themselves in good condition to face the opposition that awaits them from the local team.
 Our team is going to get two straights, if something does not hap pen.
 Ducky Gowan, formerly of Fl Paso will do some hard playing in order to defeat the team Of which he was member and Dealzin, formerly Of Bisbee. but now on the opposing side, will also play some classy ball
 The series of games promises to be very interesting. As to who will do the mound work for Saturday is net yet known. but in all probability Cum mings win do the twirling act for the first game while Marshall will handle the "pillr for Sundays game.
 Douglas will be the quest of Can anea in the coming series and Nor enci will go to Clifton.

NEW PARTNER IN
 GROCERY STORE
LOUIS RAFAELovlcH SELLS HIS INTEREST AND WILL SOON VISIT AUSTRIA.
SELLS

The ownership of the R. & B. grocery on Naco road changes to- day, Louis Rafaelovich selling his interest to his former partner. Rob ert Brajevich. and Martin Christo- vich. The R. & B. grocery has been in business in this city for several years under the ownership of Ra- faelovich and Brajevich. and was started in one of the small stores down Naco road. Later they moved into the large brick store across from the depot.
 Mir. Rafaelovich will remain in town fir several weeks and will then probably leave for a visit to his parents in Austria. His father is a large land owner, owning what even in this country of big farms would be considered an extensive tract of land.
 The new owners of the grocery will make their announcement to- morrow.
