continue ring rule under the guise of
"non-partisanship' save the
mark-that wrecked the cause and
begot the old-time party lineup, and
might, with a little common-sense,
have avoided a democratic ticket
most surely one headed by myself.
In conclusion, may l say that in
nv opinion this lineup has already
borne fruit The doges have alb
dictated; better ticket than their
subterranean one has been put up by
each party, and after good, clean
fight which will get the vapors and
bile out of each combatant's system,
the victor will be the better fitted to
administer our city affairs. If,
another year, we can not get together
for a genuine non-partisan ticket we
have at least buried these plotters-

The appointees wrecked non

their slate in 1924.

MIR. REDMAN'S LETTER.

MR.. REDMAN'S LETTER.
February 90, 1924.
To the Editor of The American;
Dear Sir-I must take exception
to the statement in your editorial,
that | was instrumental in blocking
the non-partisan movement, or to the
effect that "bossism" entered into
the course pursued. Mr., Pattangall
knew nothing about the immediate
situation. In fact, told him some
! time ago that we had a nOnpartisan
government in Ellsworth, and it was
! better, in my opinion, that party
strife be kept out of our municipal
affairs In this he acquiesced alb
solutely. Yet you say in your
editorial;
In Ellsworth this year the
non-partisan movement was
blocked by the democratic or
ganization. The Pattangall-
Redman-Hurley triumyirate said
no; we must get the party in
line for fall"
1t was the viii of the vast ma
jority of the democrats of Ellsworth
to put a democratic ticket in the
field. You have failed in your esti-
mate of our democratic candidate
for mayor and the gentlemen who
have consented to run with him for
aldermen, if you think for one
moment that they could be bossed
into running.
1t is true that in presidential years,
municipal elections have sometimes
been "bossed'' and bought" in the
interest of Senators, congressman
and other candidates, who were to
run in the fall elections The great
wave of Indignation sweeping
through our land to-day, however, is
demanding that we get away from 4
the money-power in government.
In writing your editorial on
"bossism" you were doubtless think
ing of bygone days, and these must
have been in your mind in pointing
out that the ''swing back" years coin
eide with presidential years, when,
to quote your words, "the organiza- |
ton men force the political issue in |
affairs in order to get the |
organization in smooth working |
order for the State and national |
elections in the fall" l agree with |
you that in bygone years this has
been quite true.
1t was not the so-called organiza-
ton men that forced the issue this !
year. The rank and file insisted |
upon placing ticket in the field.
Yours very truly,
Fulton j. Redman.

THE FOOD FAIR.
ELLSWORTH ENJOYED IT'S
WEEK OF GAIETY.
suits and Encouraged by the
Support Given,

| suits ana encouraged Dy tne
support Given.
Ellsworth's food fair of 1924 is
over. The week of gaiety has been
thoroughly enjoyed by the people of
Ellsworth and vicinity, and the
patronage held up well throughout
the fair. The storm of Wednesday
and the hard travelling of the fol-
lowing day, cut down the attendance
greatly on those two days, and re-
| suited in carrying the fair over to
| Monday of this week, when there was
! good attendance both afternoon
! and evening.
! The members of the Hancock
| County Fair association, under the
management of which the fair was
given, are highly gratified at the re-
suit. They admit that they were in
some doubt as to the extent of pub
lie support that would be given their
efforts to have a big summer fair in
Ellsworth, and the food fair was
something the nature of an expert
ment. They have been satisfied be-
yond their expectations. The people
responded freely, and the ladies
especially. through their personal
assistance and attendance at the fair,
and by contributing cooked food,
ed the gratitude of the manage
ment
The exact net proceeds cannot yet
be stated, as all bills are not in, but
will approximate 81 500. The gross
ipts we're we'll up toward $1,000.
The proceeds from the food fair are
to be used in getting Wyman Park
in shape for an outdoor fair the
coming summer or early fall
The people certainly enjoyed the
fair, many attending day after day
and joining in the revelry and sports.
Friday afternoon was a great day for
the children. The hall was filled
with them, and they took full possess
sion of the fair. Miss Harrington,
leader of the orchestra that has been
so satisfactorily received, took the
lead in entertaining the children.
She had them sing America" and
this was followed at the children's
request by Barney Google" and
Bananas" all sung with vim. The
grown folks at the fair enjoyed the
enjoyment of the children.
One of the big prizes of the fair
was the silver set won by Miss Evelyn
Bellatty, in the guessing contest at
the booth of the international Har-
vester Co., under the direction of l..
E. Treadwell, local agent. The con-
test consisted of guessing how long
the Primrose cream separator would
run under its own momentum after
the handle was released. The actual
time YVES II minutes, As seconds.
Miss Bellatty's guess of one second
less was the closest Second prize,
a casserole, was won by Miss Vera
Mosley, and third prize, set of berry
dishes, was won by N. E. Weymouth.

To the Editor of The American:

ing which having no bearing what

assertion. but under my rights as

ticket in times past, and a helper as
much as lay in my power of such an
administration for the past two
years.

welfare of our city as any non-parti-

twenty-five years, greatly to my fl
nancial advantage, but choose to re-
main here because | like the city, its
surroundings and its people-when
they fight fairly. In proof of my nom
pratisan leanings, l would state that
| voted for a non-partisan mayor in
1895. and at our last elections, and
would vote for one tomorrow II
fairly nominated as the choice of the
public, and not by an interested
coterie.
Now, Mr.. Editor, you know, or
should know, that I'm Ellsworth this
year the non-partisan movement was

self-appointed local doges, who ar
ranged, previously to any getting
together of democrats, republicans
or genuine non-partisans, a slate
| factional from alpha to omega, with
an insignificant democratic repre-
sentation thereon. And, more than
that, one of this tickets sponsors as
serted publicly that slate would
have to be swallowed, nolo volo, al
