What About the States Money?

When the kennebec Journal, more
than a week ago, announced that the
Waterville Sentinel Publishing Co. had
been paid over-eharges on State print
ing amounting to more than $4,000, the
public could hardly credit the Informal
ton. Many believed some error must
have been made; but the feeble at
tempt by the Sentinel to deceive the
public in its next issue settled the
question.
Since that time the silence in the di-
rection of the Sentinel office has been
striking. Perhaps it is golden
while the present administration holds
control, but we believe the next Legis-
latura Will attend to the collection of
the States funds fraudulently obtained
While certain officials of the State
and the Waterville Sentinel Pub. Co.
are working their brains to discover
some way of explanation or out of the
difficulty, the tax payers are wonder
ing what is being done about regaining
thousands of dollars that belong to the

leaders is to keep it as quiet as possible

Socialists as he did fer the Democrats

all three parties combined could not
have used anywhere near half of the
375, $50 ballots which were provided for

secretary of state and the state printer

Further Disregard of Law.

Whenever it suits their purposes,
the Democratic administration in
stalled at the State House, disregards
and violates the statutes of the State
offhand.
The prohibitory law has been and
is today sneered and scoffed at by
Democratic State officials.
The statute protecting the State
from favoritism and fraud in the
awarding of contracts, is trampled
under foot Notwithstanding the man
date of the Supreme Court by the
Democratic State administration.
The primary election law, substi-
tuted by the people themselves by
popular vote for the Democratic en-
actment, perhaps for that reason is
especially obnoxious to the Demo-
cratic State officials, and they pro-
coed to ignore it and flood the voting
precincts from Fort Kent to York
with hundreds of thousands of use
less ballots at heavy expense to the
tax payers.
And now the Democratic secretary
of State printer, Cyrus w.
Davis. in collision with the Demo-
cratic State auditor, is violating the
statute creating the office of auditor
by travelling over the State with a
voucher that should no more be in
his possession than in that of any
other person. Section of chapter
