Mr.. Ames Speaks to His Constituency

To the Voters of Norridgewock, An
son. Starks, Embden and Concord
About 300 of you, including a ma
jority of the soldiers at Camp Devens,
voted for me at the recent election
You thereby endorsed my platform of
development Of our farms, under the
Federal Land Bank Law; the con
struction of a bridge, instead of
ferries on the Sandy river; the right
laws for the proper care and support
OF the dependents of our soldier and
sailor boys, the public ownership of
telegraphs, telephones, railroads and
OF the power mOnOpolies of this state
In supporting these doctrines. you
voted against the most powerful
vested interests in Maine. In spite
of your help, ! was defeated, but |
expected to be As Mr.. Holley said
in his letter to the Reporter of Sep
TENDER IL, at is a critical year and
perhaps a period when public opinion
could most easily be swayed". The
opinion in our district was not sway
ed by public rallies, just as Mr. ETolley
says. 1t should be remembered that
the water powers of Maine are equiva-
lent to the labor of thirty-four mil
lion men, working without intermis-
sion, from years end to years end
If the sunlight and air were mono
polized by private corporations You
would rise in your might and buy
them back from the companies who
had spent so much for them: so we.
must buy back the water powers.
which are the birthrlght of our citi-
zens. We shall have other elections
when these questions are understood
by more of us, and with better re-
suits

Relating the extent OF his injuries
Corp. Sturgis spoke Of an explosion OF
big shell near him, which knock
ed him silly pom regaining con
seriousness, he smelled gas. Hurry
ing to put on his own mask. he found
there were two bullet holes in it. Re
calling that just before the shell ex-
ploded he had seen a German mask
lying in a shell hole he rushed back
hoping to find and make use OF it.
The gas fumes were too strong, how
ever, and his knees gave way and
down he went. Just at this critical
time, fortunately he was discovered
by Y NJ. c. A. stretcher bearer, who
carried him back to a place of com
parative safety. His life was thus
spared. and he later landed In a hos
pital, as above related.
