the shores of the quargmires of de
spondency. He Topped. And as We
said heretofore, the people of this or

It's no use talking If the Repub-

who doesn't like to mix in, or fight 1t
out, or who gets under cover when the
political exigencies of the occasion
makes things look mighty unpromis-
ing, that chap is no sort of fellow
to lead the strong cohorts of right TO
the Battle of Common Decency.
We're interested, very much so, IN
this man Albert A Shaw. of Bath. He
looks pretty good to us at just this
time and he may be the kind of a
leader that is needed to bring the peo-
pie of Maine TO a realizing sense OF

probable that the State will prosper
financially, because any state can
prosper when more money is required

skimped and badly SO; but under
Plaisted. Maine is drifting as straight
as it is ever possible for state to
drift, toward the worst kind of social
anarchy. When respect for laws goes,
your state government goes. We will
have none of Plaisted We are look

Maine, and the good Lord knows how
badly we need one.
