or as to the good judgment or other
wise Of the highway commission in 10
eating and building State roads, want
to make a statement of facts which l
think will appeal to thinking people.
IF road improvement is to be pro-
NOTED from a Statewide STANDPOINT
we must have State roads or trunk
lines as we'll as State aid or market
roads. The money to build these roads
must come from some source, either
by bond issue or otherwise. After
making careful study of conditions ana
after gathering all possible aFaiiaple
information, / am convinced that a
large majority of the people In Maine
are opposed to another bond issue and
are ready to adopt a pay-aS-you-so
nolicy. and if the person criticising had
kent in close touch with the proceed
ings of the last State Grange sessions,
he would know that that body emphat-
fcally and unanimously declared itself
in favor of continuing road improve
ment in Marie, and just as emphatical-
" and almost unanimously placed itself
on record as opposing a further bona
issue and in favor Of raising money by
mill tax.

ferred to as being responsible FOR en-
dorsing this road bill The Bangor
session of the state Grange elected me

the impression was made upon the
voters that Mr.. Hughes would get
the country into war. The campaign
of last year should, and no doubt
will, be a lesson to America. After

the support OF his people in dealing
with foreign nations and nothing
should be said, or done, during the
campaign to make hard the giving
Of such support by every American
citizen.
