TO THE VOTERS OF WALDO COUNTY,
In making my fight for the Republican
nomination for County Attorney, l appealed
to all fair-minded citizens, irrespective of
party, who believed in square deal and in
giving the young men a chance, and l know
that many ind ependent voters, men who have
not ordinarily affiliated with the Republican
Party, voted for me, because they knew that
was an anti ring candidate and believed
that the people should rule this county.
In the coming election, | solicit the support
of all citizens who believe that the county
attorney is elected to ENFORCE THE LAW,
and not to prostitute the office to enrich his
own pocket, or the bank accounts of liquor
dealers and other violators of law.
The era of HIDEBOUND. HARD SHELLED

and unmourned end and it is every voters

ground that the law-so LONG AS 1T Is A

Certain members of the OLD RING who so

Gov. Marshall, the Democratic candi-
date for vice president, has been making
speeches in Maine advocating a tariff for
revenue only, which in Democratic par
lance means free trade. He is opposed
to protection in any form. If the Dem
ocrats elect their candidate for president
and obtain control of both branches of
Congress, the closing of factories and the
opening of soup kitchens will inevitably
follow. 1t requires no gift of prophecy
to tell that. These were the conditions
under Cleveland, and those who have
found fault with President Taft for his
advocacy of reciprocity with Canada, a
measure favored by his predecessor,
President Roosevelt, and which Names
great statesman, James G. Blaine, would
have extended to the South American
republics as we'll, will have more serious
grounds for complaint should the Demo-
cratic policy of free trade be carried out.
There is no disputing the fact that the
country is more prosperous today than at
any period of its history. What is true
of the country, is true also of our own
State. So general and so great is this
prosperity that even an unusually acri-
monious national campaign has little or
no effect upon it. And this prosperity in
the State and nation is due to Republi-
can legislation and Republican control.
No one can gainsay that. Why, then,
should the people tear down and destroy
that which has brought them pros

tight upon the character of their accusor.
