Deplores Such Exhibi-
tions as Staged at
Some Maine Fairs -
Will Seek to Have
State Stipend With
held Where Cruelty
Is INDUCED in-Wil
Not A t t en- d Fairs
Where Such Events
Are Allowed

Governor Baxter, Thursday, issued
me following statement regarding
pulng contests at some Maine fairs:
ever since l became governor I
have protested against the weight
milling contests INDUCED in at most
of our fairs, and the recent exhibi-
Tim at the Monmouth fair as de-
srlbed in the morning papers con-
firms me in my belief that these
contests should be entirely abolished.
II can conceive of nothing more
cruel Or unfair to patient. hard
working horses and oxen than to
drive them under the lash or the
road until as sometimes happens the
blood spnrts from their nostrils Or
they drop from exhaustion. These
ratient servants of man are willing
10 work for him until they grow
aid and become useless, but why
should they be abused just for the
sake OF gratifying a few thoughtless
and often times ignorant spectators?
IF believe that the State should
Withhold the stipend from any fair
that allows these contests. and I am
communicating with our commits
sioner Of agriculture asking him to
look into the Monmouth case and
10 see that that fair gets no money
from the state II cruelty was in
duged In.
If were to be governor another
two years | should make 1t point
10 ask the Legislature to prohibit
these pulling contests, but l propose
to make test case of the Mon
mouth fair. Moreover. l hereafter
shall make it a point not to visit any
fairs where these contests are part
Of the program.
"The State sends humane agents
10 most OF the fairs and does what
Il can TO mitigate the evils OF the
pulling contests. but often times
these escape the notice of officials.
Certainly It ought not to be neces-
ary for the State to have officers on
hand 10 prohibit public exhibitions
Of deliberate cruelty to animals. IL
fair managers will think this over
they some day will see 1t in its true
light"
