Democrats charge land that, too, is

MAKING PISCAT-
AQUIS UNHEALTHY
FOR SLACKERS

Dover Me, Aug. 19.-Thc State
constables. deputy sherffs and game
Uardens are making Piscataquis
county an unhealthy place for slack
ers and draft evaders and scarcely a
week has passed during the past
month when the officers have failed
to collect in number of slackers who
have been taken either to Fort Will
lams, Portland harbor, or to Camp
Deyens and at once placed in the SER
vice of the country. Some of them
have been merely delinquents, while
many have been classed by the draft
officials as deserters. having failed TO
make out their questionnaires or to
respond in any way to the call of
their country.
Many of the men captured in Pts
cataquis are out of the State men
who have been sent into Maine by the
employment agencies for work in the
lumber woods. The fact has become
so apparent that many are attempt
ing in this way to avoid military SER
vice that the officers inspect many of
the crews coming I'D from Bangor to
Greenville and many of the deserters
have been captured in this manner
l. is also reported that scores Of
slackers have found their way into
the woods and are now employed by
the numbering concerns in the opera
tons north of the lake Several have
already been taken at Chesuncook
and seat to camp.
The officers have been particularly
active during the past few weeks and
will continue their activity until the
slackers make up their minds that

cality in which to seek a refuge from

When we came out we had what they
call a divisional hike and review.
and it was all of that for we walked
about ninety miles in six DAYS.

very big but just follow it up for six
days and you will be ready for q lit

how long we will be here but are
ready to fight that cursed race any
, time. They have got some of our
comrades and we are going to get
three TO every one they got of US. I
know where there are two little
mounds of dirt side by side with a
little wooden cross at the head Of
each and I feel mad every time 1
think OF the hands that dealt the
blow.

He charged that Gov. Milliken had
Interpreted the age limit IN the SOL

criticism by saying that towns and

pointed out that to do this would
necessitate placing the beneficiaries
in the pauper classroom the Lew
iston sun report of one of Mr. Nc
Ciliicuddy's speeches.
Mr.. McGillicuddy should read the
law. 1t is known as Chapter 276 of
tie Public Laws of 1917, Mr.. McCil-
licuddy has the reputation of being a
lawyer. Sometimes he has been
credited with considerable astuteness
in his profession. We think, if he
should read the law only once, con-
sioering his training in the science,
he would have quite a clear under
standing of some of it's provisions
OF course, Mr. McGillicuddy had no

The Democratic leaders in Maine
are taking advantage of Governor
Mllliken's early decision to take no
personal part in the Maine campaign.
They are proceeding on the principle
that SO long as lie is not denied
| they can get away with it. AS
consequence, there is a rapidly in
creasing demand en- the part of
Maine citizens, irrespective of politi-
cal affilia tons, who place loyalty,
! Truth and justice above mere party
Politics, that Governor Millihen re-
verse his decision and appear before
| the people is often as possible dur
! ing the brief period between now and
election day. In no other way can he
s. quickly and effectively inject con-
fusion into the ranks Of his political
enemies, for their bluff is so trans
parent as to be unworthy Of even the
ereenest Observation-Disclosures Jour-
nal.
The Democrats say they have put
7 the Governor "on the defensive"
which is as false as any of their
harges against the Governor. All
the Governor will do is tell the peo-
pie where they can secure abundant
proof that Democratic candidates are
hrazenlv lying.
There are many Maine Republicans
who are admirers Of President Will
son and who frankly state that in the
present exigencies he should have the
support of majority party in con-
gress. And with this sentiment they
will cast their votes in the coming
election for Democratic members of
congress.-Bangor Commercial.
You are grievously mistaken in
your assumption, which is quite
natural to one thinking wholly in
political strategy. They will not
vote for more Democrats in order to
reach the desired result but for more
Republicans. The Commercial must
be aware, as we are, that a much
larger percentage of Republicans in
Congress has supported the Presi-
dent, than of Democrats. Thus to
increase the Presidents strength
more Republicans must be sent to
both houses; to make the mistake Of
sending more Democrats might ac-
tdally endanger the entire war plan OF
! the administration and the ~s''ars

In the great crisis which our
Country is facing it is imperative
that there be in State and Nation an
abundance Of wise counsel The
Republican party has never failed to
furnish its full quota of wisdom and
competent leadership in times Of the
Nations peril. 1t must continue to
give, and the need for it to give is in
no degree lessened by the fact that
Democratic administration is now in
supreme control of the Nations af-
fairs. This year of all years the Re-
rublicans of the State of Maine
should stand together. and stand
firmly for the principles Of good gov
eminent which have been the party's
principles from the days Of Lincoln
Gown to the present time. They
should see to it that every party vote
is cast for the loyal and competent
men now representing our State in
Washington. and in order to en-
phasize their confidence in these men
there should be Republican victory
so complete and so conclusive as to
leave no doubt in any mind that the
Republican party of Maine is as
vitality alive, as united and earnest in
its determination to preserve the
liberty of the world today as it was to
preserve the Union when it followed
