Turns to Democracy.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
l have been Progressive in politics
for several years. 1 have been identi-
fed with the Progressive party of the
State, but / must conclude from the
recent election results that the party
cannot in this State. at least, be of
great influence in the near future.
As l must join one Of the two great
parties l have made up my mind it
much be the Democratic party. First
because 1 believe from past experience
that the Democratic has and will
serve the people better than the Re-
publican party. Seconds because the
administration of President Wilson
commends itself to every honest man
of either party who loves his coun-
try and his fellow citizens, and he
should be sustained and upheld by an
expression of confidence.

NOTICE.

The Commissioners of Rising Sun earnestly
urge the patrons of the Water Plant to be
very careful not to waste the water, either on
the streets for sprinkling, or otherwise, fol
the reason that waste adds very largely tt
the expense of pumping, both for fuel used
and wear of machinery.
AS extra or unnecessary expense greatly de-
crease the revenue from the Plant, and as the
townNewns the Plant, and receives the revenue
therefrom. all our citizens should be inter-
ested, and each should feel it his special duty
to use every effort toward the best results.
The waste of water by even single family
is matter of Importance. and makes con.
siderable difference.
