guage much stronger and more digni-
fed than the simple sentence, Il will
make Maine as dry as a covered
bridge"
The press reports you as saying at
Waterville: Il am neither a liar, a fool
nor a hypoerite,' and nov l have been
MAYER OF Augusta four years sheriff of
kennehec county two years, and know
the impossibiiity of making Maine dry,
fer It never has been nor ever will be. :
ALLOW me to ask, were you not mayor
o. Augusta before you delivered your
address 10 the worthy citizens of
Preseue Isle? Had you not been sheriff
OF Kennebec county before you deliv-
cred your speech in East Corinth in
the summer of 1916? And can it be pos
sihle that the press has reported you
correctly when it makes you stand be-
fore IN intelligent audience under the
protection of the flag of a Christian ma
ton and into the face of the Almighty
Creator arrogantly f!aunt these words.
You will remember that prohibition
was tried in the Garden of Eden but
it didn't work." Is such language be-
coming the Chief Executive of the
good old State of Maine? The best
laws, the laws that tend to greatest
protection of the individual. the home
and tie business of every civilized ma
ton Of earth, are founded on the very
book whose author you SO deflantly
slur.
However, your assertion is far from
being correct. Prohibition did work in
The Garden of Eden. Man had the priv
ilege of obeying and enjoying the re-
ward of his labors, or of disobeyins
and suffering the penalty thereof. He
chose to disobey. And then the Omni-
potent made the prohibition law. The
Cherubim with the flaming sword at
the east of the Garden of Eden enforc-
ed it, and man was forever prohibited
from the Tree of Life and for that rea-
son You and / must face the Grim
Messenger of Death in a few brief
years.
The mill of the Gods grind slow but
they grind exceeding small" You,
with every other sane man. know that
the rum traffic is wrong, totally wrong,
and no matter how much they throw
around it the protecting arm of the
law you can never. never, never make
it right. In my humble Judgment you

mites a man ever had to make his
name immortal among his fellowmen.
When the good people of Maine, in
whose hands the power of franchise
rests, went to the polls on the 18th OF
September, 1911, and said by majori-
ty vote that the legaIized saloon should
have no place in this fair State of
ours, had you then lent all the infiu
enee of your high Office to the honest
enforcement of the law and said to
your associates and subordinates: THE
people have spoken and their mandate
shall be obeyed, and our State shall
be as clean from the legalized rum
traffic rs is possible for honest officials
to make it," unborn generations would
have arisen and called your name
blessed.
Yours sincerely,

GOVERNOR ON DEFENSIVE.
A Good Sized Crowd at Pennington
Saturday, to Hear Chief Executive.

A good sized gathering about one-half
of which were women, assembled
Saturday afternoon in Music hall to
hear Hon f. A. Morey, mayor of Lew
iston, and Hon. Frederick W. Plaisted
governor of Maine discuss the issues
of the campaign. The governor was the
first speaker and was introduced by L..
Boardman Brown, Esq. who presided.
Mr.. Brown took courage from his ex-
perience of two years ago when he sud-
denly found himself famous by his bold
prophecy that when the Democrats
should find themselves in power after
the election, the big piece of pie should
go to Obadiah Gardner A good deal of
fun has been in circulation about the
pie counter" but Mr.. Brown stood
again on that same platform last Satur-
day afternoon, prophet indicated be-
fore his own people
He was so much encouraged by the
matter that he spoke nearly half an
hour and Mr.. Morey, who was to speak
last, waived his rights in favor of the
bah game, which was scheduled to fol-
low the speaking. In fact before the
Governor had finished, his audience be-
gan to slip away. He tried to restrain
them by saying that he was going to the
ball game, too, but the people We're not
Interested The fact is that the best as
set a. public speaker can have is candor,
and when an audience detects its abb
sence they lose interest.
Take single illustration from among
many. Mr.. Plaisted reviewed in part the
story of the Bangor &c Aroostook r. r

struetion for several months, was
dedicated, today. In the afternoon
there was bazaar. and this evening
the treasurer, l.. NJ, York. made his
report, after which there were char
AIDES, and refreshments were served.
About five years ago seven of the
girls who live on the island the year
around organized the Mingo Club.
This club met every Wednesday eve
ming, when some member would read
aloud from II books which have
been donated to the club. Saturday
afternoons. the club met at the
schoolhouse and permitted people To
borrow the books which were not in

members then being Misses Margaret
Black, Hannah Black, Elsie York,
Myrtle York, Martha Orr, Helen Orr,

The club started a fund for the
purpose of erecting public library,

interested and gave entertainments to
help the movement along. In the

In his speech of acceptance Wood
row Wilson asserted that the tariff has
made the business men of the country
"timid, fretful, full of alarms; has
robbed them of self confidence and
manly force until they have cried out
that they could do nothing without the
assistance of the government at Wash
ington."
Present day conditions challenge the
accuracy of this statement. The eX-
cellent doctor would do well to point
out some of the ''timid, fretful" busi-
ness men who are now full of
alarms and who are lacking in self
confidence and manly force" Where
can he find them?
The country is at the high tide of
prosperity Business confidence is in
evidence everywhere. The course of
the Republican administration is di-
rectly responsible for this condition.
Danger lies only in a change of admin
istration, with the consequent change
of policy that is promised. Then, tru-
ly, the business men of the country
would be full of Alarms" and they

to Answer.

man attending a third term meet
ing at Denver asked the third termer
the very pertinent question, would
not the Republican party have
been all right if it had nominoated
you?"
The third termer did not reply. He
simply looked angry and went on dol
ing out political, ecouomic and social
istlc chop suey garnished with the
usual sauce of epithets. 1t was, we re-
peat. very pertinent question. The
Republican party and Republican prin.
ciples were good enough for the third
termer until he found that the party
was not willing to give him third
term. Then he broke loose, and be-
gan gathering in every issue and al
legged issue he could grab to make up
his cray quilt platform. He has
sought, with the savage rage of
Malay running amuck, to destroy
everybody and everything obstructing
his mad onrush toward a goal he will
never reach. His ingratitude to the
party which honored him immeasurably
beyond his deserts will have fitting re-
ward in the historic fate of those who
have sought to rule or ruin"
