Richard Fowler of Belgrade
Found Not Guilty of Reck-
less Driving, Result of Extra
ordinary Accident At Inter-
section Western Ave-, And
SeWall Street

Rochard Fowler of Belgrade, was
found not guilty in Augusta NUM-
cipal court, Friday by Recorded Ar
thur F. Tiffin, after hearing on a
charge Of reckless operation Of his
automobile last Thursday evening,
when the Belgrade mans car was in
bad collision with a Ford sedan
operated by Miss Nellie Nelson of
Winthrop and Miss Agnes Dietrich
of this city who was walking on the
sidewalk at Sewa1l street and West
ern avenue, was so badly injured by
one of the cars that she has since
been a patient in the Augusta Cen
eral Hospital.
The case had several peculiar an
giles and the court in an effort to de-
termine all possible evidence which
might establish liability adjourned
the hearing and decision, pending in
spection Of the Essex car owned by
Mr.. Fowler, the spondent, and the
Ford car operated by Miss Nelson.
Miss Nelson told the court that as
she was proceeding westerly on
Western avenue ON the evening OF
November 4th. her machine was
struck by the Fowler car, while the
car ran into his. 1t was in an effort
to determine something Of the rela-
tive position Of the two automobiles
at the time of the collision, that. at
the request of Attorney B. F. Maher,
representing Mr.. Fowler and also OF
Miss Nelson the morning session OF
court was adjourned that the two
machines might be examined.
Norman Pillsbury, an eye witness
to the accident testified to observing
both automobiles as they approached
the intersection and stated it was his
opinion that the Nelson Ford struck
the right side Of the Essex as Mr..
Fowler drove north on Sewall street
across the Western avenue intersec-
ton.
After the court had viewed the cars
that were in the collision, the re-
spondent's being in Belgrade and
that of Miss Nelson at the Capital
Garage, the following decision was
handed down at 2. M.
The law giving vehicles the right
of way over other vehicles approach
ing at intersecting ways from the left
does not mean that due care and
caution should not be used by the
operator of the vehicle having the
right of way when approaching in
tersecting ways nor does it give such
operator the right to drive along the
highway absolutely oblivious to the
intersecting ways from the lett and
what might be approaching there
from. It is the duty of every driver
to use due care and caution regard
less Of whether they have the right
of way or not, and l find that after
a careful examination of all the
evidence that this collision was not
the fault of the respondent and
therefor find him not guilty.

OverruleS Motion
For New Trial in
Law Court Rescript

The motion of the defendant for
new trial was overruled by the law
court in rescript in the Cumber-
land County case of Ben Bucci VS..
Howard E. Dyer involving building
job which was done by the plaintiff.
The rescript reads:
Action to recover for labor done
and materials furnished by plaintiff
in building job for defendant. No
questions of law are involved. The
issues were solely those of fact and
upon those issues the jury found for
the plaintiff. The defendant comes
to this court upon motion for new
trial based upon the customary
grounds.
While the defendant offered testi-
mony which, If taken at it's full va
ne, would initiate against the ver-
dict, yet there is evidence to sup
port the verdict, and the defendant
must abide the jury finding since he
has failed to convince us that we
should substitute our judgment of
the weight of the evidence for that
of the jury under familiar rules gov
erning situations like the one at bar.

SHOWS ADVERTISING NEED

At this season of the year inquiries are being re-
ceived at the chamber of commerce relative to the
winter climate with view of spending the winter
here This year it is stated at the chamber OF COM
merce that inquiries are coming earlier and in larger
numbers. From New York City a letter is received
from man who says that he has heard Of the climate
and is DESTROYS to locate for the winter with his fam
lily and if he likes will buy small ranch later for
the purpose Of raising fine stock.
high official of railway company in Ontario
writes that he usually spends part of his winter
season in Florida or California but this year is plan
ming to go to Arizona and he desires to have much
data possible. The president of firm in Detroit
Michigan, writes that he is thinking of taking his
family to Arizona for the coming winter but is not
familiar with the various resorts therefore, is
questing all information available concerning the
winter climate and accommodations.
These are samples Of the interest shown in Ari-
by the people of the east who in the habit Of
spending their winters away from the frost belts
They have heard just enough Of Arizona to make
them curious They have tried California and
are seeking something new. They turn to Arizona
only because in vague way they have heard that
Arizona has fine winter climate, but they know
nothing of the possibilities here for their accOmoda
ton amusement during the winter months.
If Arizona was adequately advertised it would
be unnecessary for these people to write such queries
They would be told by consistent advertising in their
home papers that Arizona has the most ideal winter
climate in America. They would know they could
come here and find accommodations where they could
enjoy the scenic grandeur and the wine of our winter
air in great outdoor playground equal in extent in
most instances to their entire state.
To tell the thousands that eagerly searching
for place to go during the winter, however, is a
gigantic task that can only be accomplished by a
great state advertising campaign. Such a campaign
should be sponsored in the next legislature and pro-
vided for. With an adequate statewide advertising
campaign, Arizona's unparalleled advantages like
California would be as well known in New York as
in Phoenix.-( ARIZONA Gazette).

THE DEMOCRATIC POSITION ON THE TARIFF

The Democratic position on the tariff is that the
Constitution authorized tariff by Congress only
for the purpose of raising revenue (hence the term
tariff for revenue only) and not for the purpose
Of preventing revenue by prohibiting imports on any
special commodity.
The abuse has grown up since the Civil War in
which tariff schedules have been used to protect
monopoly by making the tariff rates so high as to
exclude commodities and enable certain particular
persons to establish an American monopoly easily by
preventing outside competition
This process of unlawfuly excluding commodi-
ties by tariff schedules for the purpose of protecting
monopoly, and imposing unfair prices on American
consumers has been designated by former Demo-
cratic Platforms as "robber tariff, because used
to hold up the American consumer and rob him by
unfair prices over the merchants counter
An honest Republican does not advocate tariff
higher than the difference in the cost of production
at home and abroad, and the Democratic schedules
are more than equal to the difference in the cost of
production at home and abroad. Incidentally they
afford protection as high as anyone has a right
to ask.
The theory that the Democrats are disposed to
be negligent or Indifferent, much less hostile to
American manufactures is political falsehood
The Democratic Party has the urgent desire to
bring prosperity in America to all the people But
they know that the prosperity of the country cannot
depend upon some Of the people defrauding other
of the people.
It is fraud to write tariff schedule to prohibit
imports.

result is that on election day he

When the setutorian cry Of the
Republicans is raised about ma
chimes and kings, the Arizona
voter shakes his head and smiles
at the imbecility Of the claim.
He knows who made up his mind,
he knows the reasons that con-
WINGED him to cast his ballot as
he did. He knows why he is a
Democrat. He knows that a
prophet who is false in the chief
topic of his prophecy must be
false in his other promises as
well. Therefore he turns a deaf
ear to the strident calls and con-
tinues to vote for those things
which have been tested and found
true.
Machines do not flourish un-
der the system of secret ballots.
Kings do not thrive under condi-
tons where the people every two
years decide as to whether the
chief executive Of their govern
nent has served them faithfully
or not. Such accusations are an
open affront to the majority of
the voters of this state.

plurality nominated Gov. Hunt to

of the state to victory in the
general election in November.

are tuning their instruments to
their old and only campaign tune

Republican campaign harassers
are taking bronchial stimulants
that their croakings may sound
in unison over the state about
the "Hunt Machine" the "Ari-

which the people have grown
tired years ago.
1t is such insults to the intelli-
gence of the voters of Arizona
that has made the Democratic

weakened the Republican party
to the point where few men care
to align themselves with it or to
attempt to seek office under it's
banner.
The voters of Arizona are a I
class of people who do their own
