Orphan County Now
Part of California

Los Angeles, June 18.--California S
only orphan county finally has been
mothered by the state through the
completion Of the great klamath
River Bridge, the greatest structure
of it's kind in the state highway sys-
tenn of California.
Del Norte County, most northern Of
the 50 counties of the state, was
practically isolated by the surging
klamath river. The giant redwoods.
majestic scenery and alluring fishing
streams were accessible to motorists
only by ferry until the bridge was
completed.
Owing to the klamath river rising
at high altitude in the Cascade
Mountains, 1t flows for almost its en-
tire length through deep rugged can
yons and virgin forests of giant trees.
1t is bridged in but few places, these
bridges, for the most part being of
the suspension type, and the usual
method of crossing was by means Of
Anticipated ferries, operating only in
fair weather.
u honor of DR.. c. H. Douglas. who
devoted the last years of his life to
promoting the construction, it has
been named the Douglas Memorial
Bridge.
The bridge is 1147 feet long, con-
sisting of five main arch spans each
21b feet long, with 81 feet of clear
roadway between curbs, 81 feet above
the water surface. Two years were
required to construct this connecting

Described by veteran circus men
as 1.-THE most novel advance car
ever sent out by a travelling show"
a replica of a railroad locomotive
on a one-ton Chevrolet truck chas-
sis, hauling a miniature railroad
coach is on tour of II states with
the Morris and Castle circus.
The passenger coach also serves
as a ticket and band wagon and is
a feature Of the parades in every
town where the circus exhibits.
Traversing country roads and city
streets, the strange looking track
less train has been the center of
curious crowds of spectators where
ever 1t has appeared.
Plans supplied by the Kansas City
Southern railroad enabled Brownlee
Wells Motors, Inc, Chevrolet dealers
IN Shreveport, La. headquarters of
the circus, to build the locomotive
over the Chevrolet truck chassis. 1t
is an exact duplicate of one of the
big roads 'Moguls' and is striking
" realistic The locomotive was
christened Shreveport" by the re-
quest of the Shreveport Chamber
of Commerce.
The advance man of the show
press representative, contract man
and a band of sixteen men find &C
commodations in the passenger
coach during their travels. Ample
room, assuring riding comfort on the
long tour has been provided. After
leading the parade preceding eXhi-

given in regard to the State finances
are wholly misleading. Mr.. Brew
ster stated in a speech at Bangor,
June 10, that on June /, 1925, there
were liabilities Of 100000 in excess
of the assets on that date. He did
not explain that all OF those liabili-
ties were subsequently paid from
assets provided by the preceding leg
islature, and that not one dollar was
paid on those liabilities from funds
provided for the fiscal year Of July
l, 1925, to June 80, 1926.
He stated that practically $1,000
900 has been added to the cash re-
serves this year. He did not state
that every dollar of 1t Is derived from
the tax on gasoline which is now SC
a gallon whereas in 1925, up to July
! it was but 1c gallon
MIR. Brewster did not explain that of
the $3,676,000, in the treasury on June
/, 1926, $1,746,92514 was from the
proceeds of bond sale and that we
are now paying per cent interest on
that sum while 1t is lying idle in the
banks of the State. He did not tell
his audience at Bangor anything at
all about the actual financial condi-
ton Of the State. Nor will he, be-
cause Mr.. Brewster knows as does
every man who knows anything
about the State finances that instead
of a decrease in taxes there Is every
prospect of an increase If our State
institutions are to be maintained
with any degree Of efficiency.
In discussing the finances Of the
State. Mr.. Brewster has not told the
voters of the State that the State

and why It requires six men with
salaries aggregating $4,000 to pro-
perly expend the small sum of ST.
900 in publicity.
Furthermore the public have q
right to be told OF some definite good
which has resulted to the State from
this over organized publicity cam
paign. Years before Governor Brew
sster ever took any part in pushing
publicity for Maine, publicity work
was going on with gradual healthy
progress and it was actually accom-
plishing splendid results. Will Mr..
Brewster tell the voters of Maine
some concrete facts indicating any
thing that he has done in connec-
ton with the publicity campaign
which has increased it's efficiency
I can tell the voters a number of
things he has done which has done
harm to the State Of Maine which it
will take years of time and thous-
andS of dollars in advertising to
overcome. Maj. Thayer here referred
to the prison and Kennebec Jail In
designations, also to granting the use
of the Muster field at Augusta for the
use Of an un-American organization
an insult to the memory of the men
who have drilled on that field to fiji
themselves for the defense of their
nation"
The speaker criticized the condi-
ton of the principal highway lead
ing in to the State, also the Cover
nor's statements respecting the fin
ances.
He has furnished no detailed
statement and the figures he has

highway police, Of which he SO
proudly boasts, has cost the State
over 100000 in the last eleven
months while the outstanding feature
of their activities is an armed at
tack in the daytime on the peaceful
Kennebec county Jail. Why not tell
the voters something about the State
affairs and the State institutions for
conduct of which we are paying
nearly S10,000,000 annually? -
Whatever may be the outcome of
this campaign in so far as l am per-
sonally concerned should make very
little difference to any one. 1t is be-
cause 1 honestly believe that as gov
ernor of the State of Maine during
the last II months Mr.. Brewster has
not been true to the principles and
to the party which he represents
that l entered this fight. Had l con-
sidered him true to either the party
or the principles l would not now be
candidate. I do not believe a man
who respects neither the constitu-
tional rights of the individual citi-
zens of Maine, nor Of the institutions
founded under the laws of Maine is
true to the Republican party. l do
not believe that a man who will turn
the management of the affairs of the
organization is true to the party or
to the principles for which it stands.
do not believe a man who will capi-
taliZe religious prejudice for political
purposes is true to the principles or
the Republican party. l do not be-
lieve that a man who will repeatedly
resort to Misrepresentation in order
to obtain political preferment is u
good Republican. / do not believe
that a man who at the end Of per-
iod of IS months service as governor
of Maine neglects or refuses to rem
der strict accounting Of his stew
ardship to the citizens whose ser
want he is, deserves the continued
confidence.
For these and a hundred other
reasons / feel absolutely justified in
the stand | have taken. This is a
campaign in which are at stake prin-
ciples for which our people have been
fighting for a hundred and fifty
years, and 1 do not propose to have
my hands tied so that l cannot con-
tinue this fight until election day In

1t is an unusual Characterization
that Stilphen Brothers have adopted
for their new filling station on
Riverside drive, Augusta. They call
it "The Place with the Funny Roof"
1t will be open to the public today
for the first time and as it is only
a mile from the Kennebec bridge,
it is expected there will be many
who will take advantage of the OPP
portunity to call, especially since for
today only a gallon of oil will be
given free with every purchase of
five or more gallons of gasoline.
Stilphen Brothers will handle Tex

billions, the train is set up as the
official ticket office at the circus
grounds.
Members of the party assert no
circus ever sent out a more econom-
ical railroad car. They have
found their tour can be arranged
with more convenience, as their
schedules can be altered to suit
varying conditions, and no delays
result from awaiting train orders.
Due to the weight of II tons
carried and drawn by the one-ton
truck. careful tests were made pre-
vious TO the start of the trip. 1t
was found the truck had ample pow
er to handle the load efficiently
Economy of operation was the de-
termining factor in selecting the
Chevrolet as the power unit. Chew

houses for the locomotive in each

the best of my ability. The results
Of that cooperation can best be de-
termined by the record of my work
as chairman of the Industrial Acct
dent Commission. 1 make no apol-
ogies for that record.
1 am accused of not being a good
sport politically. I am not able to
follow the example of Senator
Hinckley and some others In these
things. In the Senate, Senator
Hinckley in no uncertain terms ac-
cused the goveror of practicing de-
ception upon the members of the
Legislature. There has been no more
bitter opponent of the principles of
the Maher bill than Senator Hinck-
ley. How Senator Hinckley can
publicly accuse the governor of
Maine for practicing fraud and
make the speeches he has made
against the very principles for which
the governor stands and then extol
the governor as a suitable candidate
for the highest executive Office in
Maine, is hard to reconcile l know
there are attorneys who can repre-
sent both parties in an action, but
l know Senator Hinckley too we'll to
even consider that he would do such
a thing. Why should not the same
standards be required in politics
that are required in any business or
profession? 1t is because men are
so inconsistent in politics that peo-
pie lose faith in the affairs of the
State.
When I said I would not vote for
Mr.. Brewster in September if he is
nominated in June, there existed
every reason for not voting for him
which existed in 1924, and a great
many additional ones. One addition
al reason is that, in my opinion, Mr..
Brewster Is not on the level with the
voters of Maine. He does not, l be-
lieve, tell them the whole truth.
We have heard a lot from him
about Booming Maine. l believe in
| the future prosperity Of Maine and
will do all in my power to advance
the interest Of the State. 1t cannot
be done through Misrepresentation
! Mr.. Brewster has not told the peo-
pie what this Boom. Maine move
ment is costing in salaries and ex-
penses. Let me give you some ac-
| tual figures:
The State by a special resolve ap-
| propriated $4,000 to be spent in ad-
vertising Maine. That is, spent un-
der the direction of the Governor
/ and Council. Beside that sum there
