Plaisted vs. MOOerS

The people of Skowhegan have not
forgotten that Frederick Plaisted,
when making his campaign speeches
two years ago. came to Skowhegan
and spoke in the Opera House. He
said, among other things, pointing to
Sheriff John A. Mooers: There is an
officer who is a democrat. He en-
forces the prohibitory law, and II
people of Maine elect me governor
l will see that the law is enforced by
the regularly elected officers
The people now say that he hasn't
kept his promise and recently when
they heard Governor Plaisted had
said that Sheriff MOoers was kinder
garten politician and words to the eff
feet that they would soon get him out
of office and also, that Governor
Plaisted had said that the law cannot
be enforced. the people of this town
and county became more Disguised
than ever
The people of this county are of
course interested in national affairs.
but most of them want to see Maine
saved from what they term social
anarchy before they consider nation
al affairs, and for this reason they are
banding together for the one cause
which is to stop notification in the
state by voting against the democratic
ticket Watervile Post.

The Fraud Issue.

Theodore Roosevelt is so accus-
toned to getting the worst of it in dis
putes directly involving the issue of
yeracity that nobody will be surprised
by his flippant disregard of Chair
man Hilles's review of the contested
delegate cases in the Chicago Conyen-
ton. showing that the Colonels cry
of fraud, and his assertions that the
nomination was stolen from him and
given to Mr.. Taft by the thieves, are
absolutely without any basis of fact
But among Mr. Roosevelt's close
friends and supporters there are men
of good minds and good morals. There
are men who, we believe, would not
knowingly lend their support to q dis
honest cause. What are these men
going to do with Mr.. Hilles's review
of the evidence? viii they read 1t?
Will they consider with open minds
the array of facts he presents? There
We're 23S contests against Taft dele
SUITS VI WHICH lOf were dDdHuOueu
by the Roosevelt party. leaving only
II to be examined. These We're found
to he either based upon absolute dis
honesty, or they were in every case
so devoid of merit that the decisions
of the National Committee and of
the Credentials Committee were ad-
verse TO the contestants. Chairman
Hilles states the circumstances in
each case. 1t is a convincing state
ment 1t carries the conviction that
Mr.Taft's nomination was given 10
him by the deliberate Judgment of a
majority of the lawfully elected dele
gates.
1t is demonstrated that Mr. Roose-
velts cry of theft is a false and fraud
uent pretense. Even if the seventy
four contests had been decided in his
favor. he would not have had major
ity of the convention. How can he
have the audacity therefore, to insist
that the nomination was stolen from
him? He went into the convention
with too few delegates, he was beaten.
He had no more reason for contesting
the result, for setting up his cry of
fraud, and for putting himself into
the field as a candidate, than Mr. Ar
thur had in 1884, Mr.. Hill after MIR.
Cleveland's nomination in 1892, or
than Mr.. Clark or Mr.. Underwood had
after the Baltimore Convention. Yet
he came away from Chicago crying
fraud to the four quarters of the hea-
vens. He contributed to The Outlook
a long article with the title Thou
Shalt Not Steal" in which he brought
the charge of deliberate fraud and
theft against the party managers in,
control of the Chicago Convention.
The point OF interest now is what

Conditions Under Pattangall In Nd-
terNille.


DR. Crafts stopped in Waterville,
over Wednesday night, July 81, 1912,
and there saw what he said were the
worst conditions that he had ever seen
in the famous Reno Such gamb-
ling" he said, would not be allowed
in New York City" He went into one
block where he saw in a gambling
den showing the wheel, gambling 1e-
vice and a lot of men pooling the
horse races. He said that he called
up the city marshall and asked him
If he knew of the condition there.
The city marshall was surprised. az
cording to the sound of his voice, he
said. to think that such things could
exist in Waterville. He assured DR..
Crafts. that he would attend to it at
once.
DIR. Crafts stated further that Maine
under the present administration is
in a worse condition than any other
state reckoned in the prohibition class.
He plans to do some missionary work
through the State and will lecture at
Elliot Centennial, Aug. 10, and at Old
Orchard, as we'll as at other places

Willin' , Like Barkis

The Fairfield Journal editor still in
sists that the tariff lis not difficult
question" 1t bemoans the fact that
the editor of the Skowhegan weekly
cannot understand it sufficiently well
to discuss it lengthily with the down
river contemporary. Lord, bless, you,
neighbor. what earthly use would it
do to discuss the tariff with one who
hasn't yet learned what "Plaistedism
is?
Nay Nay! we decline, with pro-
found thanks, your generous invita-
ton to discuss the tariff with you. We
really have a delicate sense of the
eternal fitness of things.
By the way, better get your tariff
on to Honest Charlie"
Johnson; he is woefully in need OF all
the light you can possibly give him.
Don't waste powder on us.

win Governor Plalsted Deny 1t!

Since the day OF his inauguration.
Governor Plaisted has declared. in
chorus with his close associates the
leaders of the Democratic party In
Maine. that the prohibitory law con-
not be enforced. Governor Plaisted
has repeatedly declared in public that
the prohlbitory law never has been
aud never can be enforced.
Every adult person of intelligence
in Maine knows this And thousands
of them know that Governor Plaisted' 5
declarations after he was elected were
the exact opposite OF his declarations
and promises in the campaign of 1910.
1t is known that he proclaimed that
If elected he would see to it that ALL
the laws were enforced; that useless
officials would be wiped off the slate
and that regularly elected officers
would do the work.
Governor Plaisted has denied that
he ever used the words Covered
Bridge" Personally we did not hear
him say it, but we think the Cover
nors memory has played him false.
Be that as it may, will the Governor
deny that In Skowhegan Opera Hou
he pointed at Sheriff John A. Mooers
and said:
There is an officer who is
Democrat. HE ENFORCES THE
PROHIBITORY Law. and if the
people of Maine elect me COVER
nor | will see that the law is en-
forced by the regularly elected
officers
Does Governor Plaisted deny that
he said those words?
Does the Governor deny that he has
said the law cannot be enforced?
Does Governor Plaisted deny his
words to a widely known clergyman
of this city. who congratulated the
Governor on his election and his OPP
portunity to enforce the laws as they
had never been enforced, and work
great good for his State? Does he
deny assuring this clergyman that he
recognized his opportunity and was
pledged to the. people of Maine to i'm
prove it to the best of his ability
