A-WHEELING GOES
Camden and Rockport Crowds
See Samuel Tibbetts Pay the
Penalty of His Election Ideas

(Rockland Courier-Gazette Nov. 14)
Wheelbarrow election bets have been
in vogue ever since this country began
to have Presidential elections, and
there are very few communities which
have not seen the fulillment of such
-''a~ers since last Wednesday. Whether
uch ride actually constitutes tri.
rr-ph is difficult to say. for often the
roasenger looks more like a martyr
than the man who is trundling the bar
row. Both parties are generally game
sports. however and the spectators are
the real winners by the performance
Camden and Rockport citizens saw
the payment Of a wheelbarrow election
het Saturday afternoon. and the event
created more excitement than anything
else that has happened in those two
towns the present year.
The winner Of the wager was John
p. Leach, whose Democracy and good
fellowship have never been questioned.
'The loser was Samuel Tibbetts of Cam
d"r. The vehicle chosen for Johns
n honorable ride was one Of those bar
rows in which coal is wheeled. No
stretch of imagination could make It a
, comfortable conveyance for humans.
Samuel Tibbetts, a cheerful loser
withall, bethought himself Of a simple
scheme whereby his passenger might
not be lulled into a doze as the barrow
was being pushed to Rockport and
back. To the wheel he affixed several
sections Of iron pipe in such manner
| that it's surface instead Of being smooth
and circular. was more nearly in the
form of an octagon. -.
John looked obviously at this con-
! trivance, but the eyes of q thousand
persons were fixed piteously upon him,
and with smile as,if Of anticipatory
pleasure. he seated himself in the
chariot" and the procession started
from in front Of Chambers drug store.
Quite a crowd followed it to the out.
skirts of the town, cheering victor and
loser impartially. At the end of the
first mile the 20S bones Of Mr.. Leach's
anatomy had been well nigh torn from
the mornings and his teeth were chat.

with the temperature.
Al the end of the second mile he NAV

Iibbetts. the misguided Republican,,
was having any picnic. His muscles
were unused to that form Of athletics,
and each and every one openly rebelled
against this method Of settling an cleo.
! ton bet.
In Rockport there was another crowd
in waiting, and rider and chauffeur re.
ceived a noisy greeting.
Yesterday John Leach was cornerins
the market on sofa cushions. and Sam
Tibbetts had bought all the arnica thal
his purse and prosperity prices'
would allow. s
But they're good sports, and are still
