Make No Mistake.

In their enthusiasm over State is
sues in this campaign, voters should
not forget how vital are the national
issues involved. On the complexion
of the next State legislature depends
the election of United States sena-
tor. A democratic senator will vote
against the protective tariff system;
hence every protectionist, republican
or democrat, should vote for the re-
publican candidates for State sena-
tors and representatives to the State
legislature.
Four congressman are to be elected.
Every democratic congressman
elected will voted against the protec-
tive tariff system; hence every pro-
tectionist should vote for the repab-
lican candidates for congressman.
Protection versus free trade is the
vital issue in the national campaign.
A republican vote on Sept. Q is a vote
for protection; democratic vote is a
vote for free trade. Don't forget
this, for involved in it is Industrial
prosperity or industrial ruin.
Republicans of Hancock county,
which do you prefer: Republican
success and prosperity, or democratic
success and disaster? Make no mis-
take.

To the Editor Of The american:
II is my opinion that the promises made
to people OF the State, before this present
administration came into power, are being
violated, especially the promise to enforce
all laws which the people demand. 1t was
plainly seen by the vote last September
that the people OF the State wished the
prohibitory law to be enforced. Has il
been donef Mol
And now the same men come forward,
looking for reelection. Are the people
going to let those men be reelected to
office who have shown that they are de-
termined not to enforce the law, nor let
any one who will enforce it remain in
Officer II is my opinion that II those men
wished to stay in office they should have
done their duty instead OF Sinking from
it. 1t looked to me last September as IL
they really tried to steal the lawful count
from the ones to whom 1t rightfuily be-
ionged.
My opinion is, il we are for temperance.
we ought to act it as well as say II. IL
the democratic party had not been in such
a hurry to show the cloven foot, il would
have been better for II. Should the demo-
| Gratis be defeated in September 1t will be
their own work.
| II all men who voted mo" last year
| would leave old party lines and come
squarely out for prohibition, as they
should, then the finger OF scorn could
not be pointed at them as IL Is to-day.
Those who voted .sno" last fall and this
year fall back to the old parties, might be
likened to guide board that points the
way but does not go step itself.
/ 1t Is my opinion that the liquor question
should be treated as crime instead OF q
business, for it certainly is criminal in
one sense to uphold the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors as beverage,
and no one can uphold II without uphold
Ing crime. The bible tells us TO come out
from among them and be separate, and
touch not the unclean thing.
| The liquor traffic Is fully as bad an evil,
in my opinion, as was slavery, and think
it deserves to be wiped out as business

permit. My prayer since has ever been
sGod be merciful to me sinner for in
my opinion no man can vote in favor OF
intoxicating drinks, without knowing
that he is SHINING in the sight OF God.
Doubtless some will call me q temper
snce crank; II 50, it is my opinion that
this crank turns the right way.
Now, II there are any men in the ranks
| who voted for the retention OF the pro-
hibitory amendment in the State constitu-
ton, let them show to the people that
they were sincere in the casting OF their
ballot, and that they meant it as no boys
play. hope that our temperance workers
will place candidates in the field, that all
may give them their hearty support. Let
us all show our colors, and, II need be, fire
shot by word of mouth at any enemy to
temperance who may attempt to cross our
bow. N. V. BABBIDGE.

The House, through the initiative of
representative Sherley, of Kentucky,
its author, has adopted measure
recommended by President Taft
which is intended to correct a serious
defect in the pure-food law. The de.
feet came through decision of the
supreme court in effect that the pure
food and drug act did not cover false
claims regarding the curative proper
ties of medicines, and that manu-
facturers complied with the law in
stating merely the Ingredients of
their goods. The Sherley bill amends
the law 30 as to provide that drugs
shall be held s'misbranded If the

one OF the delegates to the republican
one of the prominent Roosevelt men Of the
State, was in Portland Wednesday 10 attend
meeting Of the Progressive party at the Fall
mouth.
Mr.. Morang said that in his opinion the
election of Mr.. Haines Is already certain.
judging by the sentiment in the third dis
went democratic two years ago, would return
TO the republican column this year by a good
sized plurality, and that John A. Peters, of
lature by very narrow margin. would have
q decisive plurality next September. Mr..
Morsng said that the election Of Forrest

The Governor Visits Ellsworth.

The Governor Visits Ellsworth.
His Excellency, the governor of
Maine, Hon. Frederick W. Plaisted,
often called 'Kernel Fred" for short,
visited Ellsworth last Saturday, and
in the evening addressed his fellow
citizens in Hancock hall. The hall
was fairly we'll filed, and the audi
ence was about equally divided be-
tween democrats, republicans and
women.
His Excellency was at his best; he
is a fine looking chap, and he knows
It. Promptly on being introduced by
Candidate for the Legislature Har-
ward G. Jordan, he struck the attitude
which he invariably assumes just be-
fore giving his exhibition of word
painting, at which he is an acknowl-
edged adept. de expressed his pleas
ure at being again in Hancock
county, especially in Ellsworth; he
praised her men, complimented her
women, and did not forget to refer to
the s'h-l of a lot of fine scenery
we've got stuck up around here".
Up to this point he "done splen-
did,; then he began to talk politics;
he started in right at the beginning Of
his administration; how he found an
empty treasury, and unpaid bills
amounting to hundreds of thousands
of dollars, the States credit ex-
hausted, and the situation altogether
most deplorable.
He gave correctly to a cent the
liabilities of the Stase-but by some
strange alteration of mind failed to
mention the assets, clearly intending
to leave the impression that there
were none, and would be none until
the debt-raising factory of his own
administration could be got into
working order.
Unpaid bills at the close of the pre-
vious administration? OF course
there were; it's always the case, and
always will be, and nobody knows it
better than Gov. Plaisted. Practically
the entire tax levy of 1910, collectible
in 1911, was available to pay those
leftover bills, and, as matter of fact,
1T was collected and used for the pur-
pose intended.
Why did the governor fail to men
tion that in January, the first month
of his administration, over a million
and half OF the tax of 1916 came
into the treasury and was used to pay
those leftover bills; why didn't he
mention that almost a half-million
more came in in February, and almost
500, 900 came in in March?
He either knew all this or he didn't;
IL he did his failure to mention it is
short of an intention to de-
ceive; if he didn't he has no business
going about the State talking on State
finances. Whichever horn of the

able Plymouth Rock hem" writes our Otis
correspondent. "Whether her instinct
told her she ought not to bother her good
master for food on account of the high
cost OF living, which is a problem to the
whole nation, or whether she preferred
her own society better than that OF the

she left and went to pasture to shift for
herself. After q weeks absence, her
master was lsmenting the loss OF his best
hen, when a neighbor informed him that

ture busily engaged picking blueberries.

From anything any democrat has
said on the stump thus far, no one
would ever dream that the tax-rate
for 1911 was six mills. But how the
spell-binders do roll, like sweet
morsel under their tongues, the fact
that this administration has reduced
the rate from Fernald's FIVE mills in
1910 to Plaisted's four mills in 1912!
Why skip 1911, the year the demo-
Gratis foisted on us a tax-rate OF six
mills? Artful dodgers, those demo
Gratis.

dilemma he chooses, he was guilty of
stating half truth, all the more
dangerous because coming from the
lips of one high in authority. II the
people in Hancock county have one
half the intelligence with which the
governor himself credits them, does
he suppose they were hoodooed by
his speciousness and platitudes7
Another most fragrant attempt to
deceive was in what the governor said
about the railroad rebate taxes. In
1891, the State granted, for reasons
wholly satisfactory to everybody at
the time, rebate of 95 per cent. of
it's taxes for twenty years. That
agreement expired by limitation in
1911, and the roads full tax for that
year was collected. And yet the gov
ernor would have us believe that his
administration had succeeded in col
lecting tax of some $4,000 in 1911
which his republican predecessors had
failed every year for the past twenty
years to collecti
Did ever a governor of Maine in all
it's history offer as a reason for re-
election such palpable piece of
chicanery?
And what about the governors at
titude on enforcement? For years
the excoriation of the republican
party by the democrats for nullifica-
ton has been severe, and to a great
extent deserved; the democratic vic
tory of two years ago was mainly won
on the promise of Mr.. Plaisted him
self to put stop to it; to enforce all
laws by regularly elected officials.
He may not have said he would make
Maine las dry as a covered BRIDGE,
but he said things equally as emphatic
IL not quite 80 picturesque. He said
that while the law was upon the
statute books and in the constitution
it should be respected and enforced,
and again and again during the cam
paign of two years ago, swore before
high heaven that it should be en-
forced.
Now he is going up and down the
State declaring that the prohibitory
law cannot be enforced, and offers
that as an excuse for the outrag-
eously wide-open condition Of things
now existing throughout the State.
Two years ago he pointed with pride
to Sheriff Moers, the democratic
sheriff of Somerset county, as fine
example OF an enforcement sheriff.
And yet less than a year ago he ap-
pointed sheriff in Hancock county
whom he knew would not enforce the
law and who has not, and yet for such
an appointment he has no excuse to
offer and no apology to make to a
community whose confidence he has
80 outrageously abused, and whose
sentiments on enforcement he has so
basely betrayed.
Is Hancock county going to vote for
a governor, handsome though he is,
who tells half truths which smell to
heaven; who makes ridiculously false
claims of economy; who acknowl-
edges he has failed to keep his ante
election promises, and who grossly
insults its well-known and often-ex-
pressed sentiment on enforcement?
AS an Authoritarian, platitudina-
rian and a latitudinarian Mr.. Plaisted
is roaring success; as governor he
is a roaring failure, and deserves no
mercy at the hands of the voters of
Maine.
