When Gardner was running for 
State Senator. 
1899 
Schofield said in his newspaper, the Ipswich 
Chronicle, July 27th, 1899. 
“It is quite clear that somebody is trying to 
give the impression that Mr. Gardner is not 
popular in his home town, Hamilton. The 
Chroniole is not interested in this fight as we 
are known to be on the other side of the 
political fence, but we are interested in the 
truth, and feel that simple justice demands 
that any such insinuation should be promptly 
Shown up. 
We have known A. P. Gardner for some time 
and can say of him just this: he is courteous, 
generous, able and fair-minded, and the people 
of Hamilton and Ipswich also, know and 
appreciate him. He was just the same before 
he entered politics and he would be the same 
if he met with political success. 
He is not one of the class of rich men whom 
the laborer need fear, and while we hope that 
some good Democrat may be the next Senator 
from this District, if it is to be a Republican, 
we would rather fvust the interests of the 
laboring man with A. P. Gardner, than with 
those who are trying to down him.” 
ning for State Senator. 
1905 
Schofield said at a Rally held in 
Gloucester in his interest, Nov. 1, ’05. 
“But I can say a kind word for 
Congressman Gardner. I think he 
has shown himself one of the best 
workers, despite the fact that he is a 
wealthy man, that Massachusetts has 
ever had in Congress. In standing by 
Gloucester the way he has, he has 
gained the support of Gloucester, and 
deserves it.” 
If Mr. Schofield told the people for six years that I 
was their friend, why does he now tell them that I am 
their enemy ?
