capt. Roy L. Marston of Co. E, End
Maine infantry, who threw a high ex-
ploslve bomb Of oratory into the crowd
assembled in Market Square, Augusta,
last Saturday evening, refuses TO bulge
one inch from the position he took
when he expounded certain facts to his
audience and made remarkable COM
ment upon them. He declares that he
speaks only the truth and assures rep
resentatives of the press who question
MIN that he has unimpeachable data to
uphold him. The speech he delivered
in behalf of the Liberty Loan sale and
In behalf of recruiting for the End
Maine infantry was a. most dynamic
piece of oratory and it aroused vol
umes of conversation with both favor
able and unfavorable comments. But
Capt. Marston insists that he did not
attack Augusta in a hostile spirit at
all, that he intended only to deliver the
whole truth to his listeners and awaken
them to sense Of duty which would
result in action calculated to save the
good name Of Augusta from really hos
tile attack.
Capt. Marston says that Augusta has
long been the leader for the whole Ken
nebec valley; that his own town,
Skowhegan, and other towns Of Somer-
set county and northern Kennebec have
almost habitually listened for word
from Augusta efore at ting in matters
Of State or politics and when the word
has been given have acted in accord
with the lead Of Augusta. He points
to specific cases, notably to the fight to
remove the Capitol from Augusta to
Portland. in which Somerset county
stood shoulder to shoulder with Angus
ia, and helped save the situation for
the Capital City.
Now, he says, Augusta is backward
and is falling from the lead. He has
facts and figures to add to general in
formation which prove that Augusta is
not leading in the national crisis at
hand and is not even a good follower
in Statewide effort being made to
make Maine do her share. He asserts
that scores Of the leading citizens OF
the Capital City have failed to interest
themselves and that the little that has
been done has been done by patriotic
few who have stripped off their coats
and gone into action with great will
and untiring energy.
