Let Us Vote for Mooers And
The Home

The recent attacks that have been
made upon the splendid work of ShcI-
if John A. Mooers have helped to
swell the long list of his loval sup
porters. The people of SomA set
County know why these slanderous at
taCks of a partisan press have been
made upon him; they know, 800, that
these out-of-the-county papers and in
dividuals are interfering with our af-
fairs and they strongly and rightly re-
sent the interference. Somerset Co.
is not asking Mr.. Pattangall and Mr..
Davis and their Waterville Sentinel,
to help run it's affairs; the county is
not yet an adjunct of brewery.
John A. Mooers-say of him what
you may-has brought honor to his Of
fee and his county and splendid credit
upon himself. He has been as near
ideal, as a Sheriff, as any man can
be. He has enforced the laws, pro-
tected our homes, and kept the county
remarkably clean of influences, that
tend to corrupt the environment of
our boys and girls. The voters of
Somerset elected him to Office because
they wanted him to do exactly this
thing We honestly believe the citi-
zens of Somerset want to see the same
excellent moral conditions prevail.
It's your duty, Mr. Voter, to give
John Mooers your vote-you owe thai
much to the home which you SO
jealousy seek to defend against evil
influences, Let us sink all political
feelings in this matter and let John
Mooers do the duty which every de-
cent man wants any sheriff to do.
