the stage is being set for concerted
plan to elect enough members of the
next legislature to give away a fran
chise for a toll bridge across the
Kennebec. This franchise Is most
valuable. 1t ought never to be given
to anyone. The state ought to have
and control 1t. A big and powerful
bunch of financiers is behind this
plan of building a private bridge.
The tell bridge would easily pay 8
to 10 percent on the investment.
1t would be a burden on the public
to support another monopoly. The
day is past when we give away the
peoples rights"

CYRUS BLANCHARD n
WON'T CHANGE MIND
IS TO THE FINISH

Wilton, Me-, Apr. 9.-Hon. Cyru,f
N. Blanchard makes his positiont
clear in the following statement: \
To the Republican Voters of theE
Second Congressional District OH,
Maine:
Since Congressman White has
again changed his mind and decidedt
to become a candidate succeed him J
self, I feel that q plain. open. frankK
statement of my position is due thet
voters Of the district.
In January last, I met Congress-f
man White In Lewiston, and at thatk
time I urged him to make his an
nouncement that he would be a cana
didate to succeed himself. eveA]
urged him to do SO at once. as ~
felt that the newspaper reports OFT,
his indecision as to whether hes
would be a candidate for governors
had not given him any added politi- 4
cal strength. He informed me att
that time that he was undecided as3
to whether he would be q candidatey
for Congress. but that he had agreed,
to let his friends know by February
10th his final decision in the mattert
and that whatever announcement he,
then made would be final. When
he announced through the lewiston
Journal of February 18th that he
was not to- be candidate to suc-s
coed himself, and relying on his
statement to me in January, / field
that his decision was final, and III
became a candidate in good faith
to remain In the contest to the end,
and not simply to pick up what Con-
gresham White had seen fit to dis
card for the time being, and hold
it for him until he should be pleased'
to take 1t up again.
Congressman White gives as one
of the reasons for his change OF
mind the fact that he has been ap-t
pointed chairman of an investigating,
committee. Would that our senator's
and representatives in Washington
devote more of their time and en-
ergy to constructive legislation than
will tend to relieve the burden of
the common people, and less to theF
investigation of the acts and motive9
of their fellow members.
If there ever was a time in thfll
history of our country when men OF
sound and steadfast minds were
needed in the halls OF Congress, 1t
Is at present. Not alone to upholdll
PRESIDENT Coolidge, whose lie anu
character reflect his steadfastness OF
purpose. but to quiet that feeling on
unrest that seems to be sweepingA
over our country.
became a candidate for Congress-
relying upon the statement OF coma
gresham White that he would not
seek a denomination. He has seen
fit to change his mind and bring on
q contest, for I cannot and shall not
out of respect to those who have al
ready pledged me their support. ano
what would be q defiance of all the
rules of political etiquette. retire
from n contest I did not seek. bu.a
one 1 gladly enter into under exist
ing conditions.
Believing that the time has come,
when the Republicans of the Second
District stand for fair play anu

business, I gladly await the result or

Inspects Maine
Trees to Be Sent
To Washington, d. C..

AS a matter of sentiment, w. A.
Walker OF Washington, D. c., for
mer Maine resident. is having about
IS young trees transported from
North Arson where they formerly
adorned the grounds of his old home.
to his residence at Washingtn where
they will be transplanted.
Mr. Walker is q prominent news
paper man at Washington. having
served as publicity agent for Presi-
dents Mckinley. Roosevelt and Hard
ing, and his love for his native State
has induced him to have these trees
taken up from the grounsd of his old
home place and sent by express to
Washington. The trees include beech,
birch, maple, elm, pine and spruce.
State Horticultural G. A. Yeaton
was in North Arson Tuesday making
an inspection of the trees before
shipment and he found them to be
a splendid lot.

cruelty as far as audiences are
concerned, is as bad morally as is

1.-THE motion picture has a wide
field for good; and just as wide a
field for evil. 1t can raise or lower
moral standards. 1t today is doing
too little for the former and too
much for the latter. Nothing but
clean wholesome picures ever should
be shown. l no more would sit
through a picture where animals
are abused, in realty or by faxed
scenes, than / would stay to a
picture where a child was depicted
as being tortured. In such case, l
should leave the theatre. Any other
course would be unworthy of me or
of any self-respecting Maine citizen.
THE remedy is in the hands of
the people; they are the final judges
of everything. rather have a
strong wholesome public sentiment
behind me than all the laws on the
statute books. If the audiences OF
Maine would demand good, clean
pictures where there is no abuse OF
mans friend, the animals, the pro-
ducerS would soon find the market
for cruel films cut off.
ut is q question Of dollars and
profit, and what is more to be con-
demned than the infection of pain
and fear in Gods humble creatures
so that some one can be enriched
or amused thereby. appeal to
Maine men and women and boys
and girls to let the world know that
the Maine law against cruel motion
pictures has the backing of all
Maine people; this would be a Won
derful example to the whole world"

Adjutant General James w. Han
son has received notification from
the chief of the military bureau re-
garding the insignia for the 43rd Di-
