Local Political ak.


The effort to undermine the Repub-
lican party in this city by stating
that prominent" Republicans will not
support the party's nominee for mayor,
are still being made. In every case,
when the purveyor of this informa-
ton has been asked to name single
Republican, prominent" or otherwise
who would not vote and work for the
Republican party nominee, the name
or names demanded have not been
Forthcoming.
Recently one of the Republicans who
had been credited with endorsing the
Newbert administration and as haV
ing stated that he would not vote the
Republican ticket, published a state
ment saying that there was no foun-
dalton for any such assertion. Another
man who was credited with throwing
his support to the Democratic candl-
date, upon finding that he would be
compelled to be out of the city on cleo
ton day, arranged a pair with man
who certainly cannot be accused of in
tending to vote the Republican ticket

Saturday said:
Mayor Newbert takes credit to him
self, in his address of Feb. 49, for
having appointed a sealer of weights
and measures in accordance with the
state Jaw. 1t is true that he appoint
ed Grin b. Frost to the job and, though
Mr.. Newbert does not gosinto details,
the number of vessels, containers,
measures, weights, machines and
scales sealed. corrected or condemned,
indicate that Mr.. Frost has made
about $500 out of the venture.
everybody knows that there have
been statutes since 1910 providing Tor
the existence of state, county and
municipal sets of standard weights
and measures. Provision was also in
the Revised Statutes for municipal
sealers and the fees they should re-
ceive for their work. But, until 1911
there was no provision for the admin.
istration of the law by any person in
authority. That year, entirely through
the activities of the then Commission
er of Agriculture, John p Buckley,
the State Commissioner OF Agriculture
was made State Sealer OF Weights and
Measures and new set OF standards
was purchased for the state, but no
money was provided for carrying on
the work.
"It remained for the Republican legis-
lature Of 1913 to complete the job Com
missioner Buckley tried to have his
Democratic colleague do. The Legis-
lature of 1913 provided the necessary
machinery and money to enforce the
law and the work was begun imme-
diately.
THE law says that the state Seal

Monday Nights "Smoker."

The Augusta Republican Club will
/ hold a smoker at it's club rooms,
Woodman hall, this (Monday) evening.
! The club smokers became very popu-
lar during the fall campaign of 1912
and the spring campaign of 1913. In
| those campaigns the meetings were
! held frequently and always called out
| large numbers of voters. The people
/ heard some red hot stuff at those meet

publican ammunition to the workers.
The meeting this evening promises
to be up to the standard. John E. Lig-
gett will preside and, while no set pro-
gram will be followed, the voters will
hear some facts, fresh from the fir
ing line. put UP by business men. The
big caucus at City hall Friday night,
declare the Republican leaders, was a
complete refutation of the Democratic
claim that the Republicans do not want
change in administration. That meet
ing opened the eyes of the doubters
and showed the friendliness to the Re-
publican candidate.
Street gossip Saturday was to the
effect that Swift stock was rising. Ev-
licences of it were claimed on every
hand Several leading Democrats ex-
pressed approval of the stand for
better bookkeeping system and more
economical administration of the city's
affairs, hoping thus to attract new in
dustries to the city. Republicans who
have not been working for the party

getting the facts to the voters. One

Performance of a duty is always

Republicans and failure to perform a

Eighteen years ago today the Ken
nebec river was out of its bounds and
causing ruin all along its valley. The
water was so high that there was but
little to indicate the presence of the
Kennebec dam, and the height of wat
er on the steamboat wharf was about
10 feet. The old freighthouse on the
wharf was carried away as a part OF
the freshet's toll from Augusta. The
same freshet carried away a large por-
ton of the old Gardiner and Randolph
bridge.
