POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT.

NORTHPORT, Me-, September 2, 1918.
To the Voters of Waldo County:
In reply to the article in The Repu bill
can Journal last week, signed by the
chairman of the Republican County Com
mittee, I wish to state it would have
been of interest to the readers of The
journal if he had given a statement of
the conditions between the years 1894 and
1911 which was under the Republican
Administration Our present sheriff as
sumed his Office January list, 1918. Previ-
Gus to February 18th, 1918, United States
Courts. had decided that liquor was in
transit until it had reached its point of
destination and had been signed for and
taken away, and no officer could touch it;
then the officer had to get search war
rant and describe the premises that he
wished to search for liquor February
18th, 1918, the Webb-Kenyon Law was
passed,-an Act divesting intoxicating
liquors of their Interstate character and
giving the officers the right to take liquors
anywhere they could get it without a
warrant, and on March 3rd, 1917, the
Read Bone-Dry Amendment was approved
by the Sixty fourth Congress, so that it
is no wonder that for the year 1917 the
officers fees before the Municipal Court
in Belfast was only s152.O8, and the board
bill at the Jail was only S11O0. Some of
the counties in the State advised closing
the jails in 1917 as they had no business.
! again wish to say that any good man
could have done Just as well as Mr.. Cush-
man since he has been Sheriff

Camp Devens on Aug 28th The party
was given at the house of Mrs. Eva Dean
conducted by Mrs. Velma Oddway and
Mrs. Annie Lermond. The lawn was deco
rated with Japanese lanterns. Owing to
the heavy shower which took place as
the crowd assembled dancing on the lawn
had to be given up. Ice cream and cake,
fancy cookies and sandwiches were
served. There were some sixty young
people in attendance. The Red Cross
room was tastefully decorated in red,
white and blue and the tables were spread
for 60 people. After the lunch the young
people enjoyed dancing for while. The
boys were the recipients of many useful
gifts including money, toilet articles, ETC.,
the party broke up at IL and bid them
goodby with hearty hand shake and
God speed on their new mission. Mrs.
Effie Rankin and Mr.. and Mrs. M. F.
Dickey join in extending thanks to all
who generously contributed to make the
event success-and one that will long

DOING GREAT GOOD
AT THIS SEASON

A superlative blood-purifyiln,gg
medicine like Hoods Sarsaparllla,
combined with superlative iron
tonic like Peptiron, makes the ideal
all-round treatment. No other medl-
eines possess such curative properties
as these two working together.
Two dollars invested in these two
medicines will bring better results
than four dollars spent in any other
course of treatment or attendance.
1t will be wise to get them today.

The financial standing of the county as

We ask any voter or tax payer of Wal

dated dirty, and out of date condition of
county building inside and out on Dec.
81, 1910, and noted the changed condition
and appearances of the buildings on Dec.
81, 1916, if they do not think they did a
wise thing electing two Democrats on
board of County Commissioners of Waldo
County.
Mr.. Norton gives way back to 1893
1894 and compares the two worst years
under Democratic administration with
the two best years under a Republican
administrator, we no doubt could find
similar contrast by comparing the two
worst years we could find under Repub-
lican administration with the two best
years under Democratic administration.
Per order of Democratic County Com
mittee, Charles o. Dickey.

Leander Staples, our veteran harness
maker, passed away at his home here in
the village Monday, August Goth. He
had been subject to severe heart attacks
for the past year. He leaves to mourn
their loss, his widow, two brothers, Roscoe
of Rockland, and Marion of Joplin, Mo.
He was born in Belfast May /, 1887. His
parents were Alfred and Abigail (CrowelD

children of whom only two brothers re-
main. Mr.. Staples began the harness
trade when young man of twenty years
in Rockland, where he worked for one

ing men. Like almost all Yankees Mr.
Staples was inventive, having a patent
on what was known as Staples patent
halter. He was probably the only man
in the State who could hang up the old
Concord coach on its thorough braces of
leather. At the time mentioned Mr..
Staples became i'll and had to give up
the shop and began on the road selling
patent medicines and after three years
regained his health. The next move was
to the State prison as overseer in the har-
ness department at the rate of 500 per
month, but in about year he became ill
again and moved to Monroe and later to
this town. He was postmaster under
Cleveland but kept the harness shop open
