FURTHER DISCI SSION OF TOWN
AFFAIRS BY CLYDE II. SMITH

During the past year Mr.. SOule has
advised hundreds of citizens that he
would not under any condition or at
any price consider a reelection. Only
four days prior to the time when it
became known that he had for some
reason changed his mind, he stated to
me that he had applied for, and that
Mr.. Cummings had agreed to give
him, his former position with the
American Woolen Company and that
he would commence work immediate
ly following town meeting.
His unexpected announcement
causes me no little embarrassment for
it was in consequence of this under
standing with Mr.. Soule, my faith in
his promises that l yielded to various
demands to become candidate.
which now means that | must either
go ahead or back down. Yet in the
interest of harmony for our town s
welfare, which arc far more import
ant than the candidacy of any man
will cheerfully join with Mr.. Soule in
Withdrawing that our friends may Sc
lect candidate. who would not be
hampered by factions or divisions. If
this proposition does not appeal to
my opponent then it is fight to the
finish.
It has been reported that | have
influenced the other Selectmen in the
discharge of their official duties In
justice to these gentlemen l wish to
state that there is not one atom OF
truth in the assertion. ! have never
talked town affairs with Mr.. Packard
but once, and then in relation to the
purchase of a truck some days after
he had acted In the matter
| asked Mr., Butler if it. was true
that Mr. Soule was trying to purchase
the town lot on North street for a
blacksmith and woodworking shop. at
which time | told him that such action
would be contrary to the towns vote.
and explained how the sale could be
prevented.
Several business men induced me to
interview the Highway Commission
for the purpose of getting the State to
defrey part of the expense of ma
cadamizing West Front street hill.
with the result that the town received
$500.

}F VISITS BLOCK IN BUSINESS SECTION
Of MADISON AVENUE
in the Griffin Building --Severa
Tenants Were Insured Historical Data

The scene of the fire was in the
last brick block shown in the ac-
companying illustration. This was
built by Joel Williams who was we'll
known in this section as daguerotype
maker. The structure was built
about sixty-three years ago. Daguer
otypes were made on the second floor.
There was a hall on the third floor
where dancing and a singing school
was held, Charles A. Ross of Court
street recalls having attended the
singing school in that block. Mr..
Williams prior to building this block
had a photographer studio on wheels
and this used to be located about
where the Daniel Lewis block is now.
1t was in this corner building where
J. n. &, L. J. Smith first began their
present enterprise. 1t was then
strictly the sale of sewing machines
which were kept for the convenience
of their patrons in the millinery store
of Miss Mathews. This structure
was for sometime owned by DR. L. A
Dascombe, and Mr.. Griffin, the latter
purchasing DR.. Dascombe's interest.
The independent-reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1909-1955, 1924-02-28

The building next below the Will
liams' block Is that occupied by ]. n.
& |. J. Smith. Their damages were
mostly confined to smoke and prob
ably will not total more than $4,000
They were insured. 1t is believed
that this building was erected by AL
bert Fuller. He operated a grocery
store on the first floor and after he
went out of business different firms
occupied the premises, one of these
being the late George Arnold. Mr..
Fuller had large room upstairs
where he conducted quite a business
selling Dexter woolens. The struc-
ture was later purchased by the pres
ent owners who lowered the floors and
made repairs on the same in 1887.
They subsequently sold the property
and the present owners are John r.
Mcclellan and E. F. Danforth.
The first brick building shown in
the picture is the Lewis block. 1t
was then quite possibly occupied by
Henry Plummer, a dry goods dealer.
The small wooden building next to the
one already mentioned very likely
was grocery store kept by George
Arnold. The next building is still
standing very much altered, and is
now occupied by the Preble restaur-
ant and the Boyd Jewelry store. Mr..
Titcomb kept a saloon and was sue
ceeded in the same business by Ell
bridge Pierce, and later by his son
Walter. Just beyond is a wooden
building, long since gone. The
basement store was a shoeshop, har-
ness shop etc. and at one time was
occupied by locksmith and gun
smith BY the flight of wooden stairs
one could go to the Office of DR.. A. A.
Mann. The next building on the lot,
now occupied by the Fuller Drug
store is said TO have been once oc-
cupied by William Fuller, who after
wards built the brick block now there.

Madison School Board

1t is rumored that the ku kluX
Klan Society of Madison purpose to
support a khan kandidate for the
School Board at the coming municipal
election. The issue thus raised seem
ingly. is opposition to Catholics. their
friends and wishers. with no
chance, apparently, for voters to
maintain a neutral position; there
fore, with reluctance, | am forced TO
enter the lists as an anti-clan can
ddate. 1t is my firm belief that race
hatred and religious intolerance
should not be unwittingly interjected
into the realm of our public schools,
and the seeds of discord spread among
pupils of tender years, because OF the
religious differences Of their parents.
Democracy in the public schools and
a determination to improve the COM
ing generation, should be preserved,
whatever the cost Clan or Anti
clan, we are still parents, and our first
duty is our children's welfare.
Should l, pcrChanCe. because of the
votes of my tizeps-Katholic
or nebecker-surviye the shock of
blind bigotry, you Will find me, in
school or out, as ever, entirely devot-
ed to that part of the Declaration of
Independence which assures every
citizen, male or female, the inalien-
able right to worship Almighty God
according to the dictates of his own
conscience
