zenship, to support the gain that has
been made in our State, and to take
no chances of aiding the defeat of
their own purpose by voting for a
ticket that they know cannot win.
Copies of this appeal are being cir
culated by Party Prohibitionists
themselves, as we understand it, and
names are being added every day.
One of these has been forwarded to US
with a request to publish. We are
glad to do SO.
The men who are signing this per
sonal appeal are men known in every
community to encourage and invoke
all that is good, and to stand against
that which is bad.
This, in our opinion, is remarkable
sign of the times-a ray of the dawn
ing independence of the righteous
element in political affairs. 1t is
common ground, and from it good
may be urged on and evil rebuked
We welcome it and hope to live to see
the day when no political leader of
any party will dare disregard it
We hope you will read AN Appeal
to the Clean Citizenship of Our
County and State"

and understood; their convictions are
reinforced and they see more clearly
the pitfalls set by greed and selfish
ness.
To these gentlemen, Maine owes a
debt of gratitude, even should Re-
publican principles be, defeated in
Mondays balloting. We expect these
things from our own able sons-and
they have responded this year as
never before--but when men come
from the far Pacific and from all the
way between, then have we been hon
ored and should return honor.
The only danger confronting Re-
publican triumph is acceptance of the
general expectancy that Republicans
are to win, and many fail to do their
duty.
If you are a Republican and fail to
record your ballot on Monday, you are
not only failing in your duty to your
self, your family and your State, but
you are almost guilty of criminal neg
ligence in permitting the menace of
the open booze shop to your children
and your neighbours children.

Our Country's Aid.

II the publishers of this newspaper
should demand Of the editor that he
pay deserved tribute to all the dis
tinguished men of the nation who
have come to Maine and given freely
of their time, money and vital ener-
gies, he would promptly throw up his
hands and retire. That would be an
impossible job and the people of
Maine who have recognized the great
good accomplished by these men,
know that no adequate return can be
made to these gentlemen.
Have you given thought to the bat
terry of the country's ablest statesmen
who have recently addressed the citi-
zens Of Maine? The list is so long
as to be hardly safe to recall offhand.

A vote for Gardner is a half vote
for Curtis.
Vote for William T. Haines who has
given us one of the best business ad-
ministrations in the history of the
State.

Republicans of Kennebec county
ask the Progressives who they prefer
for Governor, Oakley C. Curtis or
William T. Haines.
The Republicans of Kennebec coun-
ty ask the Progressives who they pre-
fer for Congress, William R. Pattan-
gall or John A. Peters.
William r. Pattangall said in his
speech at Lewiston: IF Maine goes
Republican in September the next
Congress will be Republican" II you

Do you believe, as Oakley c. Cur

maintained from the money received
from the sale of rum?
we have got to have Rum so let
us get the revenue and it will help
run our schools" From Oakley c.
Curtis speech at Skowhegan.

Curtis Sneers at Bryan.

As regards Mr.. Bryan's views, | do not
know that 1t is necessary for me to ask
Mr.. organs opinion about matters in the
State of Maine. am willing to leave
the matter of local self-government to
the people of the State of Maine. Ne
braska Is a long way from here, and / do
not think that the time has yet arrived
when the pepole of the State of Maine
want to be governed by the opinions of
the people of Nebraska"
Oakley C. Curtis. Democratic candi-
date for governor. is reported by the
Portland Argus to have given utter
South Windham. 1t is almost as re-
markable an utterance as some of the
others made by Mr.. Curtis at the
opening of the campaign before he
was muzzled by Pattangall. Mayor
Curtis started off his speaking tour
by declaring for rum and telling his
hearers frankly that they knew what
to expect" if he should be elected;
that we always have had rum, always
must have rum and, therefore, he be-
lieved in getting revenue from the
business; he would support the
schools with license fees.
Now Mr.. Curtis sneers at the wise
words of William ]. Bryan, the big
gest and broadcast minded Democrat
in the country, because that dis
'tinguished gentleman sees the down
fall of Maine Democracy through its
alliance with the liquor interests.
Oakley G. Curtis resents the inter.
ference Of a good man who advises a
throwing off of the grip of the booze
trust upon the Democratic party of
Maine; because Mr.. Bryan and other
national leaders realize that tho
maine rum ring" is disoreditins tho
party throughout the country.
We wonder what the Hon. william
]. Bryan will think of the Tebbetts
: "decoy'' letter to liquor wholesalers.
Are you, Mr.. Reader, surprised that
Mr.. Bryan and other distinguished
Democrats refused to come to Maine
to take part in this campaign?
; 1t is a fact that the greatest men
of the Democratic party, now in
Washington. are saying to each other
that Maine Democracy richly de-
serves defeat because of the unwhole-
some methods adopted since 1910.
Oakley c. Curtis says Nebraska is
a long way off and that Maine people
should not be governed by the opin-
ions of the people there. It may oc-
cur to some that the people of Maine
should not be governed by the selfish
interests of a devilish business In
Chicago. Milwaukee, Cincinnati,
Frankfort or Boston.
The paid tools of the rum traffic
should not be given permission to
execute the laws of Maine. and we be-
lieve Oakley c. Curtis will receive
CLEAN of intelligence from the people
Of Maine on Monday.

climbed historic Cumberland Mountain
yesterday and fought duel that prob
ably will result in the deatht of one.
The participants were James BLACK
head" Vanover and Anderson Estep,
who had been friends and neighbors
since childhood. While they fought,
each held the others left hand. There
were no witnesses to the pistol duel
far above the haunts of man. The duel,
it is said, was fought because Van
over objected to the attentions Of
Estep to his sister, a comedy young
woman. The men, both of whom are
we'll connected and prosperous, met
here yesterday morning, having come
into town to buy farming supplies.
Persons who saw them in conversa-
ticn on the street did not notice any
thing out of the ordinary. Within a
few minutes they rode out of town
They went to Cumberland Mountain,
near Osbornes Gap, and fought. Van
over was shot through the body twice,
and Estep was wounded three times
in the shoulder and arms. After the
fight the duelists returned here. There

Sailors Chased by Big Alligator.

101 degrees of heat, at Mobile, half
a dozen sailors of the United States
revenue cutter Winona were pursued
to their small boat by giant alliga-
tor that slapped the water with his
tail. Coxswafn Matson was a half
second too late. The alligator chewed
his leg so severely that he was taken
to the United States marine hospital
