CYRUS w. Davis
Defends Prices of
Wateryille Sentinel.

Brunswick, Me-, Aug. 16-tspeciaD =
About $50 Democrats gathered at the
Town hall. this evening, and listened to
Hon, Cyrus w. Davis. secretary of State.
and Hon. Michael T. O'Brien, candidate
for Congress from the LIST District, de-
fend the present Democratic administra-
ton. The Honorable Michael was to
have been the principal speaker of the
evening, but Sec. Davis evidently forgot
the presence of the other orator and
O'Brien was second cnoice. Before he
finished many left the hall.
Mr.. Davis defended the administration
against the charges of the Kennebec
Journal that the Sentinel had oyercharg-
ed the State for printing primary cleo
ton ballots. He mentioned that the pres
ent administration had entirely excluded
the petty grating of inks, mucilage.
scissors, etc, which heretofore had
amounted to $4,000 year.
THE Kennebec journal, today" said
Mr.. Davis, has TO bid on printing con-
tracts. That paper has only one issue
left-that of the ballots. The Kennebec
Journal recently stated that ballots for
the primary election had been printed
for the full voting strength Of the state
instead of for the voting strength of
each party. Section II of Chap. 6. Revis-
ed Statutes, State of Maine. requires the
secretary of State to furnish 60 ballots
for every 50 votes thrown at last pre-
ceeding State election, in which no men
ton of parties is made, and we based
our printing on that section.
"The Kennebec Journal claims that the
Sentinel has charged the State four times
the amount 1t ought for the printing of
the ballots" Mr.. Davis explains that by
saying that the printer printed four bal
lots with one impression, in other words
in forms of four
Mr.. Davis exhibited an old bill of the
Kennebec Journal in which the State
was charged s275 for presswork on the
back of $4,000 ballots and $275 for print
ing on reverse side. 1.-THE charge ought
to be s67 for each side said Mr.. Davis.
In closing. Mr.. Davis stated that at
the present time, through the enieiency,
economy and administrative abilities of
the present administration, the ship of
State was in far better hands than for
a generation.
Hon. Michael r. O'Brien spoke on the
national affairs and was wary of State
issues.

CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

Search for the bandit. who held up
the express messenger on a Southern
Railway train, Thursday night. near
AsheNille, N. c., was abandoned by
the local police, Friday. and the rail-
roads secret service men took up the
hunt. The robber, who worked alone.
got away with nearly $4,000.

between the Fall River steamer Com
monwealth and the battleship New
hampshire in Narragansett bay. July
Z, was opened on the flagship Florida
of the Atlantic fleet. Friday. at New
port. r. /. Rear Admiral Fiske acted
as president.
Fifteen firemen We're overcome by
smoke from fire which Quilted a T.
story manufacturing building on
Rleeoker street, New York, early Fri
daH, and caused loss estimated at
100000. Three firemen had narrow es-
capes from death after being over
come by smoke in the burning build

scieus The building was occupied by
several manufacturing firms.
A fiat per diem demurrage charge of
As cents on all freight cars is to go into
effect on Jan. I, 1918. on all railroads
This rate is change from the old
charge of 80 cents during the duh sea-
son of railway business and 30 cents a
day during the rush season. Many
roads have abused the demurrage sys-
tenn to the extent of holding foreign
cars and paying charges instead of
building equipment of their own. 1t is
believed by advocates of the increase
that the practice will now be greatly
curtaiied.
The haunts of Russians and crimi-
nails in New York were searched. FRI
day, for a rohher, who. the police say.
is one of the most brutal crooks they
have known. In an apartment building
on Sth avenue the robber made two
brutal attacks on women. The burglar
in one case picked up. an infant ana
ashea it against the wall to torture the
mother in revealing the hiding place
of her money. The mother, Mrs. Paul
Standerton. had no money in the
house. The second victim was a young
bride whom the ruffian choked into
insensibility and then robbed her OF
her jewelry and money.

four mills in 1912. Governor Plaisted
in his two years of administration
ad that is all that he will haye--win
spend two million-odd dollars more
than were spent during the last Re
publican administration and the APP
proprlatio would be two millions more.
This is one Democratic joke of econ
omy that has been carried far enough.
They are claiming that they reduced
the state tax from five mills in 1910 to
four mills in 1912. but they say moth
ing about the six mills in 1911"
Mr.. Haines spoke of the Democrat
ic method of caucusing before they
could decide what to appropriate for
anything and he said that the last Leg
islature had built $4,000 worth of new
buildings. These included a pigpen
for the Augusta Insane asylum and
perhaps Q henhouse. But they couldn't
get the pigpen or the henhouse until
they got the Democrats in caucus and
saws wehther the gentlemen from Wa
tervillc' thought these matters ought
to get through
He declared that the Democrats had
talked great deal too much for their
own good about the Immense deficit
found when the present administration
assumed its duties. He showed that the
Democrat newspaper stories. orators
speeches and Auditor Stevens monthly
statements are far from harmony He
told how the Legislature after scurry-
ing about and hunting up all the pos
sible unpaid bills, finally passed a re-
n1xrn f.f he <xf
1911. to pay the amount of this deficit
That resolve carried an appropriation
of 100000 and had there been any
more unpaid bills than what that cared
Cor, the public could rest assured It
would have been in the resolve, for
the Democratic object was TO make 1t
as large as possible.
To-day" he laughed, "the deficit has
grown to a million and half dollars,
and the Lord only knows where it will
be by the time this campaign ends!"
Those Unpaid Bills.
But while they We're talking about
deficits. the speaker asked why is 1t
that none of the Democratic newspa-
pers or orators or State Auditor Stew
ems made TGominent that. on the first

that he was in favor Of proper bond
