THE DEMOCRATIC RALLY. The
Democratic rally in the Armory Satur-
day afternoon was very successful one
and was attended by large audience,
including many women of both parties.
The Belfast Band was in attendance and
played several sci ctions on Custom
House Square before the rally. Seated
on the platform were Ex-Gov. Oakley G..
Curtis of ortland, Hon. and Mrs. Viii
Lam r. Pattangall of Augusta, Hon. Leon
o. Tibbetts of Waterville, Mrs Charles
Creighton of Thomaston and Mrs. Lena
Twombly of Monroe. the Waldo county
member of the Democratic State Com
mittee, who introduced the speakers.
Both National and State issues of the day
were discussed, with direct reference to
the fall election. Mr.. Pattangall, wbc is
the Democratic candidate for Governor
at the fall election said in part:
eve don't know anything about the
business affairs of the State" he said,
land we won't until the day when Gov.
Baxter decides to lay his cards upon the
table, and then they won't be laid on the
table face up. The expenses in this State
last year were Sl7,3 900, or four mil
lions more than Governor Milliken spent
in his last year, and million more than
Gov. Curtis spent in two years. More
money was collected in taxes in 1921 than
in any year since 1920 | have made that
statement many times, and nobody has
denied it. Something is due the people
beside Just the word Republican at the
head of the ticket. | have tried to get
Gov. Baxter to explain his financial rec
ord to the people, and along in 10 days or
two weeks from now, when 1t is too late
to get around the State and counteract
its effect; some accountant will get out
balance sheet which will show just what
they want it to show, but what anybody
could pick to pieces in ten minutes. mat
is the Republican style of evadlng the
issue until it is 90 late to act. No State
treasurer's report is out yet, and we know
very little about the States affairs 1t is
Gov. Baxter's duty to tell you his record
or else not be candidate for Governor
of the State of Maine"
