Entertairingly told in the Bangor
Commercial Is Mildred Wasson's in
terview with Mrs. Katherine c. AL
len. a woman farmer chosen by the
towns of Hampden. Hermon and
Glenburn to represent them in the
LEGISLATURE. "She shrugged her
shoulders, but she showed two deep
dimples in her slender cheeks" we
are told by the interviewer. but ans
wered very much to the point:
III you want to know what my
platform is, it is just this: Play fair
and tell the truth. That applies 20
everything in life as well as politics. !
IT is the way to treat your neighbors
when you are at home. and the way
to treat your constituents when you |
are in Augusta. You put that in |
your paper and that's enough" But |
the interviewer was a woman, ton. |
She persisted and received this good !
answer:
Il am interested first OF all in good '
schools and more of them, better |
teachers and higher salaries. so that |
better teachers will come to this part |
of the state. But am also in favor |
Of lower tax rate. II will be hard |
combination. am interested IN |
good rcads-less talk and more |
gravel. l am interested in law en- |
forcement. Maine has too many |
laws. but say. since we've got them. |
enforce them. If we don't want them |
enforced. get them repealed. If there |
was law permitting murderers to 4
be hanged. we'd have fewer murders !
than we have in this state right now !
We've got enough automobile laws. |
but we don't enforce them. I'm for !
rigid examination for drivers licens- |
es, and no redress for criminally /
careles driving
And I'm for the enforcement of /
thu prohibition Law, tnow that we've 1
got it." !
