'hich he cannot conscientiously

which he cannot conscientiously
vote for.
It may be we'll to dispel a certain
misunderstanding which there seems
to be with reference to the garbage
matter. 1t is. perhaps, not generally
known that committee on garbage
was appointed May 20, 1924, and held
no meeting except for organization
until November 81, and of course
cannot make a report to the City
Government until the next regular
meeting. The writer consented that
the report might be given the press
tefore its submission to the City
Government, although, of course,
such procedure Is unusual. In view
of all the circumstances, however. he
was quite surprised that there was
any attempt to make political capt.
tai out Of 1t.
The readers of the article above
mentioned must certainly have
questioned why the Mayor should be
| given the credit of an increased tax
rate (which appears to be decrease
as q matter of fact) and be denied
the credit for the other accomplish
ments.
The writer sincerely trusts that in
7 making statements to the press, the
statements may be wholly true, and
he will certainly welcome the truth
on any matter which pertains to his
conduct of the City's affairs during
the last two years.
Yours very truly,
ERNEST T.. MCLEAN.

POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT
MAYORALTY SITUATION
AS APPEARS TO A CITIZEN

Augusta, Me-. December 4. 1924.
Editor, Kennebec Journal
Dear Sir:
As q citizen and tax payer, I am
somewhat interested in the coming
election, and take this opportunity to
write to you. because I am afraid we
are not making the situation clear.
Some OF your editorials would in
dictate that we were unmindful of the
splendid cooperation our Mayor has
received from the City Government.
and that we were attempting to
claim undue credit. cannot UNDER
stand that argument, for II I am
correctly informed, had certain
members Of the present City Govern
ment been renbminated. we would
not only have been willing but very
glad to have placed their names on
our ticket. Unfortunately some OF
the most prominent, Idle. and faith
full public servants, were dropped,
and we could not in that manner.
express our appreciation for their
valued, unselfish. and loyal support.
I do not believe that can be ac-
cusei Of being partisan. or trying to
play petty politics in city affairs.
Last year. ] approached one Of our
distinguished and honored Republic
can citizens, in an attempt to NOM
mate some good citizen. irrespective
Of politics, and on which both par
ties could unite, in other words a
citizens movement. My appeal was
received with evident lack of inter-
est, repelled, and given scant con-
sidsration. I will now tell you just
how partisan I am. II Roland A.
Scribner had been nominated. and
elected two years ago. and had given
our City AZ good an administration
as Ernest L. Mclean, and was now
candidate for reelection, ] would
support him to the best Of my abil-
ity. and he would receive my vote.
IL Mr.. Scribner is elected this next
Monday, and during the years 1926
1925, gives us as non partisan and
efficient administration as has our
present Mayor, during 1923-1924, and
10 again a candidate for reelection,
I will support and vote for him.
In conclusion, 1 know Of no other
way to reward faithful performance
Of duty, than by a generous personal
support. when any candidate, who
has served well his city and COM
munity appears for reelection.
am not casting any reflections on
the present City Government, but on
the other hand, I sincerely appreciate
all the cooperative work that has
been done, and wouh detract from
ne man, or men. ! am proud TO say
that in this campaign some Of our
most prominent citizens, irrespec.
tiys Of party or partisan feeling, are
heartily supporting the man who
they urged to again become a can
didate for reelection.
with assurance Of my highest re-
gards, remain
Sincerely yours.
T. c. INGRAHAM.

Sunday School Lesson

prised at the Lords attitude toward
personal evangelism and foreign mis-
sions. His disciples were surprised
to find Him talking with the Samari-
tan. 1t is easier for some people to
consider the heather at a distance
than to take steps to save those at
our doors. The approach OF those
whom the degraded soul transformed
by the grace Of God had reached with
her story encouraged Christ, as He
pointed to them as an evidence that
the time of harvest had come. Many
Of the Samaritans accepted Him, the
first fruits of the great ingathering
of the Gentiles that has taken place
throughout the world, because Jesus
taught the message of religious lib
erty to the woman at Jacobs well and
commanded His followers to preach
His gospel to every creature.
