Why They Ragged.

AS to such attacks upon the Ken
nebec Journal as have been made on
the stump by the Honorables Murdoch
and BeXeridge. ii may, perhaps. be
proper here to state that from the
beginning of this campaign instruc-
tions have been given by the Journal
to editors and reporters
and correspondents of this paper to
write tie news without eoloring or.
prejudice and in editorial comment to
be Just and fair.
Following such orders efforts have
been made by the staff to state the
political facts without distortion. How
successful have been these efforts, we
may state that often Progressive lead
ers have eomplimsnted the Journal upon
the fairness of the copy printed of
their conventions and rallies and the
space given to these affairs. No I'M
usual amount of criticism has been
heard from the Democrats, all of
which indicates that the ut-of-the-
State critics must have felt that the
Kennebee Journal has been a power
full factor for the truth in shattering
the fallacies and policies that they
have come to Maine to preach!

Straight Talk
To the Retailer:

1t is safe to say that almost
every progressive retailer in
this community will concede
the compelling influence of the
newspaper and its advertising
value as a permanent and
helpful business builder.
Merchants have learned by
actual experience that the
quickest, most convincing and
most profitable way to tell
their advertising news to their
patrons and patrons o-be is
through the columns Of the
best newspapers.
The results obtainable from
newspaper advertising are so
we'll understood and recog-
nized that the retail merchant
now expects and demands
of the manufacturer. whose

ance and arrangements for ad-
vertising the manufacturers

taller who can present a

will sell more goods for both
