For Representative to Congress
HON. JOHN E. NELSON
of Augusta
ILLEGAL AND DIscREolTABLE

A desperate and eleventh hour ef-
fort in behalf Of the Democratic
candidate for Congress has been
made in the form Of a circular whicE
Is surely Illegal as it is discreditable.
It purports to be issued by the
Independent Voters League" what
ever that may be. and the printed
name at the bottom Is "a. r. Frost,
Secretary" In this We are told that
Mr.. Mclean never took a drink ana
that Mr.. Nelson doesn't say that he
never tasted liquor. They would have
us believe that Mr.. Nelson is some
where or somehow allied with bad
corporations and leaves the presump-
ton that the corporations with which
Mr.. Mclean may be connected are
pure and without guile. In support
OF all this insinuations and state
monts are made which are absurd on
their face.
Only because II is a plain violation
OF law, does the circular deserve
attention. 1t has been issued in de-
fancc OF the law, AN Act Requir-
ing Political Advertisement To &c
Signed" which requires among other
things, the address of the person
responsible therefor.
What is the address of "a. r. Frost,
Scr, tary?" Nothing in the circular
shows as required by the law. These
were sent out as circulars and the
postmarks on the envelopes of those
received in this vicinity bear the
Portland. Maine, postmark, and some
Of those received in other counties
OF the district bear the postmarks
OF Offices in kennebec county. 1vi-
IDENTIFY y. X. Frost is a pcripatetic
frost. late frost. a black frost and
will prove a blight on this tender
plant which is being SO assiduously
nurturcd by the Democrats, and the
fruit of which must so fail to reach
ma lrity.
We can conceive of no reason why
Mr., Nelson or his friends should
worry. but there are reasons why
those who are interested in having
the laws observed should seek to
learn the address Of "A. r. Frost,
s. cary Of the Independent Voters
L a-ue."
II is evident the Democratic organ
ization wishes to avoid responsible
ity for this. 1t is likewise evident
why It should wish to do so. Who
ever sent it had opportunity for care
ful consideration of the lists of voters
in this District. They also are sup
posed to be possessed of intelligence
to comprehend the plain intent Of the
law. But ignorance Of the law does
not excuse, and they should receive
the penalty prescribed for the Of
tense and the contempt Of right
thinking people.

come to the polls for this special cleo
ton? Some will say that they do not
take interest in a special as they do
in the regular elections; others will
say that they want to rebuke some
body and will slap the first within
reach, while others tell you the peo-
pie are "all fed up" on politics and
don't care who wins. But that is
not all, and this is usually mentioned
in a low voice. accompanied by a
knowing wink. One is told that a
"sorehead" revolution impends in the
Republican ranks, "sorehead soviet
ism" it might be termed!
Now while one may not overlook a
tendency. referring to the political
situation in general. to split up into
factions and groups. it isn't a sus-
ceptibility noticeable among those
who are considered the substantial"
citizens, such, it has long been our
fond boast, as make up the large ma
jority of the Maine people. To sus-
pect them of that under present con-
ditions is to insult their intelligence.
their we'll known love of fair play.
their craftsmanship and their integ-
rity. The voters of this District at
the primaries were given all the OPP
portunities an intelligent electorate
could expect, the superstition being
that whoever won would receive the
support Of the others taking part.
That's the way the people have made
Americanism the desirable thing
which it is. 1t is incredible that we
are now to desert our colors on that
cowardly pretext. We expect the Re-
publicans to come out on Monday,
rebuke those who have insulted their
intelligence and upset these care
fully laid plans of the Democratic
party.

Pitiful Case of DestitutiOn Dis
covered in Stilphin Home
Live Stock Suffering for Hay
Man Ate Cow-Congo.
Mems Event Success

A pitiful case of restitution was
brought to light Tuesday afternoon
at the camp of Reuben Stilpin on
Ward Hill about three and ofle-half
miles from this village. A week ago
Stilpin went to the home of near
neighbor and asked for and received
the loan of two bags of straw. The
neighbor suspecting that all might
not be we'll made call on Stilpin
and asked to look at his stock and
discovered there was no hay in the
barn. The chairman of the board of
selectmen was notified but through
some misunderstanding or oversight
did not investigate the case. This
week Deputy Adams was notified and
Immediately went to investigate.
Stilpin was told by the officer that
he did not come to make trouble,
but to help if needed. Stilpin told
the officer that his COW and mule
had not had any hay for over three
weeks but had subsisted on what
brush he had been table to cut for
them. One COW had been killed as
he was afraid it would starve to
death. When asked as to what he
had to eat himself Stilpin told the
officer he had a little salt and was
cooking a piece of the cow he had
killed. The deputy made arrange
ments for the delivery of some hay
then drove back to this village and
purchased a supply of staple groc-
apjnc jprlnf1iy>rr
and two pounds of tobacco and took
them back. Stilpin sampled the to-
bacco first, saying that he had not
had any for weeks. He also said
he did, not want to become town
charge and agreed to deliver some
wood for the town fuel yard as soon
as he was able to pay for the provi-
slons. Stlpin came to Madison from
kingteld two years ago and is about
So years of age.
The annual supper and entertain
ment by the men OF the CongreCa-
tional church was a most successful
affair. a chicken supper was served
in the church dining room from $50
to 7 O'Clock and during this time
music was furnished by artists from
the White Entertainment Bureau in
the church vestry. At o'clock
fine program was given at the We'll
fare theater by eight artists from the
White Entertainment Bureau. The
program consisting of music read
ings, and an exhibition by a magi
clan.
