"ReguIationn and NuIlifioation.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
| Never have the people of Skowhegan
been more disgusted with the condi-
tions that prevail under Democratic
administration, especially in Water
willie, where the town has had to suffer
the worst kind of notification
|. On the night that w. r. Pattangall
was speaking to Colby College stu
Idents on the beautiful working of the
brand of Democracy of which he is
the head boys from Skowhegan, hard
|ay past sixteen, were sold liquors in
Wateryille. The people in Skowhe-
gan, including many Democrats, are
highly indignant because of this Incl
dent and the matter has been freely
discussed but the people find them
selves helpless because the nullifiea-
ton is so freely sanctioned by officials
in Waterville.
The people here wonder what would
be the difference in the conditions of
running saloons by legalizing them in
stead of "Pattangalling" them as at
present. In the new proposed local
option law which the Democrats are
crying so hard for. they say that no
liquors will be sold to drunkards or
minors and that things will be run in
a respectable" way. Who believes
it when the same gang would have the
reins, if the law were passed, as hold
them now.
Sxon hogan has her greatest trouble
from the prevailing conditions in
WaterviIle. The only drunks that
have been in Skowhegan within year
have come from that city and one
man said recently that the reason he
came to Skowhegan was to get a
chance to sober off.
This story comes up from the im-
Iperial city: There had been trouble at
a certain saloon and finally. some oil
the citizens went TO the officers and
asked them to better conditions, but
they either had to go to dinner, or to
| a funeral and they did not have time,
so Mr.. Pringle went to police officer
and asked him if he would serve a
search warrant on the place. The
officer said: Il shall be pleased to do
| il. have a grudge against that man
and would like nothing better but
have little matter to attend to rlght
away and as soon as l have completed
/ It, | will be right back and we will go
to the place.
The officer left Mr.. Pringle and inn
mediately went to the place in ques-
ton notified the saloon keeper that ne
was going to make a search little
later, and he. the saloon keeper had
| best hide his liquors. This was done
the officer helping him. After every
thing had been cleared away the Of
| ficer went back to Mr.. Pringie ana
said u am now ready to go with YOU.
| OF course nothing was found. 1t is
alleged that this story was told to a
man from here by the officer himself.
| There are other phases of the ad-
Iministratien that are making old-time
Democrats shake their heads, and the
people in general are saying Amen
to the prayer uttered at the Repubii-
| can State convention in Bangor, re-

Evidently the real prohibitionists are
no longer tempted by the bait that has
deceived them so often and propose to
prosecute their cause through their own
party. That is the proper way TO pro-
ceed. They gain little by surrendering
to IA political party for which prohibi
tion is only a phrase to be juggled with

Mr. SHELTON was the first speaker. He
defined the position of the two parties
on the tariff. This subject is not al

in the abstract tariff is unpopular,
because it is q form of taxation, and
all taxation is more or less obnoxious.
But we must not forget that we VIII
have a tariff and tariff taxes with eth
er party in power. 1t is necessary in
order to provide government revenue.
Even so-called Free Trade England
has it, The Republicans believe that
while we are imposing tariff duties We
should fix them so that they will give
a preference to American industries.
The Democrats would collect the same
revenue, but from such sources that
no preference would be given our in
dustries over foreign ones"
The speaker took up the different
methods of dealing with trusts and
m0nopoles. He said that he would
