A PREACHER EXPRESSES
THANKS.

Dear Sir and Brother: 1 wish to
to express to you my thanks for the
fight you have been making on the
Roman Catholics, and also to express
my sympathy for you in your arrest
which, believe, has grown out of
your fight against them. l am conf
dent that they are behind this move
ment, and not only this, but you may
expect anything from their hands, for
they want you out Of the way.
Every man, who undertakes to do
anything great for the cause of right
can expect martyrs reward, and I
know of no greater honor that can
come to any man than to suffer for
the cause Of right.
l assure you that every one in my
community, without any exception
are with you in this fight, and are
expressing themselves on every hand
as being ready to stand by. you in
any way they can to help you. Even
those who have opposed you in other
matters are with you, heart and soul.
Fight on my Brother, and remember
that you are not alone, for there are
thousands in this country who are
doing all they can in this fight
against the Catholics. May God
bless you in this great undertaking.
Quit we like men, Be Strong" I
am praying for you, and my church
is with you in this matter.
Yours fraternally,
JEWETT B. DIXON,
Pastor Baptist Church.

WANTS TO KEEP UP GOOD FIGHT.

Dear Tom: The treatment you
have received recently, at the hands
of our President, Alderman & Co.
has made you scores of friends in
this section, and they are ready to
help you with their money if you
need it.
There is an old adage '"That error
ceases to be dangerous, if reason is
free to combat it, want you to
keep up the good fight of truth
against error.
Hamilton said, Aaron Burr was
Cesar, in embryo, and as true
Catalina as ever entered into a Mid
night Conclave. I believe our Presi-
dent is really worse than Burr was
ever painted.

rs INDIGNANT AT ARREST.


Dear Sir: I am thoroughIy dis
guSted at the arrest of Tom Watson,
at the InstigatiOH Of Catholics and
leeherous withdrawing around the
country political buns; who unable
to contend with him, in fair. manly
debate, as any good citizen, in
good cause could, and utterly unable
to dIsprove the grave, but unefeubt-
edly true charges, he like a bold and
true patriot, has alleged against
them, has fRso1ently resorted to their
old time tactics of persecution, hop
Ing by, this means to silence his tell
Ing exposures of their crimes and
snort com1ngs; but, in this attempt,
unless 1 mistake the spirit of Ameri-
can1sm, these black handed devils
have overstepped prudence and cen-
mon sense. For no true American
can, or will, tolerate the unjust per-
scouting Of a patriot, for exposing
the hideous Catholic Confessional,
which is SO potent a. factor to lead
into helpless white slavery, so many
OF our American girls, to please the
ponperial priesthood of bloody
Rome. No! In American freedom
of speech and freedom Of the press,
thanks to such men as Jefferson,
Washington and the heroes of old,
are too strongly entrenched in our
fundamental laws and in the hearts
OF CUR liberty loving coantrymen, to
tolerate, or allow, one Of our eoun-
trymen to be imprisoned and pun
ished by a mob of insolent Catholics,
or "foaming" office hunters; be-
cause he warns our people. of the
great dangers, that threaten them,
in the fearful spread and rapid
growth of this Catholic monster,
that is becoming so entrenched
throughout our land.
This unseemly attack, on Mr.. Wat
son, SO much like the Catholic meth
DDS practiced by them in all the
years they have been in power,
against any and all who may have,
the patriotism to expose the danger
of letting them become more firmly
entrenched in power, will, I very
much hope, prove their ultimate I'M
doing in this American land; for let
the liberty loving sons of America
once become convinced of the real
dangers of Catholic rule, and they
never will stop till they squelch it,
root and branch, from this our land
of freedom.
But the most sickening thing
about this affair, is the apparent way
the streaming tailed, 'whirI-wind-
ing HoKe and his sycophantic gang
exult over the arrest of Mr.. Watson
/ fully believe that some of these
sycophants are advising and aiding
the Catholics in this un-American,
cowardly act.
The people very generally in this
part of the State condemn in un-
measured terms, the outrage, and all
say they are willing to help Mr..
Watson financially and every other
way in their power, defend himself
from the Catholic gang and the
"whirl- winding Hoke'' and his Jour
nal Gray's bitter hatred. Let all
shades of Professionalism now come
with aid to the man, who by daring
to expose them, has incurred the bit
ter hatred of this flea bitten, lecher-
Gus unsavory gang.

Maine has had it's first trial of the

was disappointing in some respects,
particularly as to the smallness of the
vote. but on the whole it was satsifac-
tory.
The result of the primaries was
generally satisfactory Hancock coun-
ty republicans are keenly disappointed
at the failure of Col H. f. Hamlin, of
Ellsworth. to receive the nomination
for Congress. but will he none the less

opponent, Hon. Forrest Goodwin, of
Skowhegan.
The nominations of Hon. Edwin c.
Burleigll, of Augusta, for United States
Senator. and William r. Haines, of
Waterviile, for governor, are undoubt-
eddy satisfactory to the great bulk of
the republican voters of Hancock coun-
~ as indicated by the returns. The
table printed elsewhere in this issue
tells the story of the result in Hancock

Dsridine Law, and Its Results.

Those who blow for personal lib

a man to get drunk, abuse his wife
and children, insult his neighbors and
make himself obnoxious and disgust
ing in public places, are always ready
to take up, the cudgels against re-
strietion. The Portland Argus seizes
upon the nonsensieal proposition of a
few enthusiasts of the anti-germ
army, to- compare the movement to
prohibition of the liquor traffic.
The Argus, apparently. can see no
difference in the @sumptuary' classi-
fication of proposed legislation against
promiscuous kissing, and legal pro-
visions against traffic in a poison that
not only robs it's direct victim of
money, livelihood, friends, brain and

Editorial Comment
tRelfast Republican Journal)

tReifaSt Republican Journai)
There was a light vote generally at
the primary election last Monday, but
in some localities it was larger than
was expected and on the whole must
be accepted as the voice of the people.
That Hon. William II. Haines of Wat
erville would be the Republican nomi-
nee for Governor was a foresone con-
elusioa. He was the choice of the peo-
pie four years ago. and had there been
a primary at that time would have
been the nominee 1t was recognition
of this fact, as we'll as of his eminent
qualifications for the position of chief
executive of the State, that gave him
so strong lead over the opposing cam
di6ates. That Gov. Burleigh would win
in the senatorial contest was assured
from the first. The city of Belfast and
county Of Waldo testified to their app
probation of Mr.. Burleigh's long and
efficient public service by substantial
maicrities, and his vote elsewhere evil
denced Statewide recognition of his
sterling qualities as a man and as an
official The result in the Congressional
districts is not settled at this writing.
Hon. Forrest Goodwin of Skowhegan,
on the lace OF practically complete re-
turns collected by himself. claims to
have carried the Sd district by about
LEO votes.
Locally there We're some surprises in
the Republican nominations The two
candidates for sheriff, Mr. Mortland of
Searsport and Mr. Cushman of Mont
vile. had large votes in their home
towns. The Republican vote of Mont
vile was the largest for eight years.
Mr. Cushman's wide acquaintance in
the county made him a winner. The
popularity of C. M. Conant of Winter
port, the Republican candidate for
State Senator is shown by the fact
that he leads all others on the ticket.
For details see the full returns from
the city and county. Other matters of
interest in connection with the election
is necessarily deferred.
