quoted by the Times. In
that opinion Mr.. Fessenden states that 1t
a majority of either board fail Of an
election, than the entire board of the
year before hold over; but when MT
jority of the new board is elected, all the
old board is officially dead, so that there
can be no members of the old boards
holding seats in the new bodies.
1t follows that the members elect Of
both boards should meet today for. or
ganization. If the alderman and council
men elect from Ward l fail to appear
and qualify and their declination is pre-
sented then there willarise vacancy in
both boards, and under the charter the
mayor and aldermen must order new
elections for those offices. If Mayor In
graham declines his election and refuses
to qualify, new election must also be
ordered for mayor. 4ifIgUeh
Under the disclosures of the past week
it is to be hoped that the example set
by the present board of aldermen
will not be followed by
their successors and that the new board
will not attempt to prevent an early cleo
tion to fill all vacancies found to exist.
Under the charter it is the duty of the
city council elect to Immediately organ
ize and to proceed to elect subordinate
city officers. If the new board of alder
men attempt to prevent such action and
refuse to go into convention for that
purpose the appropriate remedy should
be at once applied.
We do not think it will be necessary to
apply for mandamus, however, because
Mayor Ingraham has already shown that
he will not permit his party to derive
any benefit from the situation
and if Mr.. Guptill does not take his seat
as alderman, and the board should be a
tie upon the question of declaring a va
cancy, the Mayor will undoubtedly exer-
else his right and cast his vote in favor
of motion to declare such vacancy, and
to order new election for alderman in

plainly by their conduct as they could by
words that they had got the goods and
were going to hold on to them, I'M
til absolute and overwhelming proof
had been furnished that they were
stolen. And as matter of fact
they did hold on to them until
that time arrived. Not sim
gle beneficiary of the Ward One
fraud resigned until the proof that fraud
had been practiced had reached the point
of mathematical demonstration. Some
of them it is true did at one time mani
fest disposition to refuse the tainted
goods before this time had arrived but
they yielded to pressure and stifled their
honest impulses. Had one single Demo-
cratic candidate affected by the Ward
One returns boldly demanded an investi-
cation on the morning after election, the
whole fraud would have been exposed in
a few hours and the decent part of the
party would have been saved the dis
comfiture that has befallen them by
reason of their four days dalliance with
fraud.
Why did those men refuse to do what
was obviously the correct thing to do?
They are all honorable men in the ordi
nary affairs of life. None of them would
for moment hold on to dollar that
had got into their possession in way
that suggested a suspicion of dishonesty.
And yet here they were clinging to lot
of offices which were of no value per-
sonally to them. offices which carried
with them small compensation, or none
atall, and in considerable distinction. The
answer is contained in two words party
pressure. 81 tried to think that the re-
turns were right" says Mayor Ingraham,
tried to think so not because the Office
of Mayor was OF any personal value to
him-for it was only by great persuasion
that he accepted the candidacy-but be-
cause the interest of his party would be.
it was argued, greatly promoted by his
election. Doubtless it was represented
to him and to the other persons whose
q
titles were questionable that it would be
betrayal of the party to decline OF to
set on foot an investigation that might
lead to Democratic defeat, and so they
tried to believe that everything was all
right and succeeded in getting their
minds into condition where explana-
lions that at any other time would have
been rejected by them seemed plausible,
at least plausible enough to justify
them in holding on. They are culpable
for allowing their perceptions to be
blunted, but they are no more culpable
than the people who helped blunt them.
Every Democrat who advised the candi-
dates to stick and helped screw them
up to the sticking point-and the list
is a long one--is as much to blame as
they are.

CURRENT COMMENT.
MR.. REEDS LECTURE IN CHICAGO.
TChieapo Herald Democratic.1

[Chicago Herald, Democratic.]
Thomas B. Reed, Speaker of the 51st
Congress, made his first appearance as a
lecturer before a Chicago audience last
night at Central music hall. He was no
stranger to the majority Of the audience,
for those who had not seen him had
heard of him. To those who had only
heard of him the mild appearance and
quiet manner of the man who acquired
the title of ssczar'' was surprise of the
most agreeable nature. Mr.. Reed held
his audience captive from the moment
he commenced his first sentence until
he concluded his eloquent lecture with a
brilliant peroration, His manner was
easy and graceful and he made his points
with marked success.
q While giving great leaders due credit
the lecturer clearly demonstrated his
belief in the power of the, people, and
showed that great reforms were not the
work Of leaders, but of the people them
selves. The lecture abounded in cpl
grams and witty sayings, delivered in
that quiet manner that is always taking
with Intelligent listeners. At the con-
ciusion it was declared on all sides that
in the lecture field Mr.. Reed has few
equals.

A CLEAR usuRrAr1oN OF POWER.

The members of the present Board of
Aldermen seem inclined to exercise pow
er far beyond their authority. They
have nothing to do with the election of
the ward:oficers and no authority to
canvass the returns and declare the re-
suit of an election for such offices. 1t
rests with the ward clerk alone to issue
certificates of electionin such cases
The present Board of Aldermen has no
authority either to act upon the declina-
ton of Mr.. Guptill. He has not resigned
his membership in the present Board
but has signified his intention to decline
an election as his own successor. While
the aldermen may be excused for think
ing that they had authority to act in the
case of Mr. Guptill their assumption of
similar authority in reference to men,
bers elect of the next Common Council
is simply ludicrous. Mr.. Dunn and his
associates received their certificates from
the ward clerk and whether they accept
their seats does not concern the Board of
Aldermen.
Each branch of the city council under
section 5 of the Charter, is made the
Judge of the election of it's own MEM
bers, and it is not for the present Board
of aldermen to determine that question
for either, or to accept, or refuse resig-
nation which can only be acted upon by
the new body.
Upon organization of the next City
Council, if it shall appear that there is a
vacancy in either branch, then under
section 5, new elections shall be ordered
by the Mayor asad aldermen to fill such
vacancies. This is not a matter of dis
erection.
The statesman from Ward evidently
desires to maintain the supremacy Of his
party in the upper board and to secure
the largest possible minority in the low
er branch by compelling men to serve
who are unwilling to do SO under an
election tainted by fraud.
The motive of the statesman undoubt-
eddy is to create deadlock between the
two branches and prevent a joint conven
ton, and thus to enable 1.-THE present sub
ordinate officers to draw their salaries,
while the deadlock continues. This
scheme will not work. The court can
compel the holding of joint convention
by mandamus, and thus defeat his little
plan.
The Sunday Times contains the fol
lowing quotation from section 70 of our
charter:
SAIL said officers aldermen. Common Council
men, etc. shall hold their offices for
one year from the second Monday in March,
and a,tit others shall be elected and qualified
in thoir places"
The Times expresses the opinion that
the alderman and councilmen from Ward
l, therefore, hold ouer until new cleo
ton is held in that ward. This is not
correct. In the first place. as has been
shown, there is no ascertained vacancy
in either branch at present, and there
will be no vacancy until the two boards
shall have organized, which they must
do because majority of each board has
been elected, and thus there exists quo
run, in both.

solicitor, rendered in 1914, is on file in

THE PRESS.
MONDAY. MARCH 10.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Ban
gor Wing, thinks it has discovered some
inconsistency on the part of the. PRESS
in its discussion of the Bangor insane
hospital matter. We think the Wing is
wrong. The PRESS has always main
tanned that if new hospital is to be
built, it should be built at Bangor. 1t
has always protested against the further
extension of the Augusta asylum. The
only point on which the Wing and the
PRESS disagree is the necessity of build
ing hospital at the present time at all.
And on this point the PRESS has ex-
pressed no definite opinion, because it
had no special knowledge of the facts. If
a new building is needed for the proper
care of the insane, its construction
should not be delayed even if the taxes
have to be increased to build it. No
consideration of economy should lead
the legislators to Withhold any appropria-
ton needed for the proper care and
treatment of the insane. But if, as the
Senate appears 10 think, ample provis-
ion can be made for the insane for sever
al years to come without the large ex-
penditure contemplated, then we have
been inclined to think that in the state
of the finances exhibited by the Govern
or's message delay would be advisable.

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DECENT
DEMOCRATS. 49,
The exceedingly stupid and bungling
manner in which the fraud in Ward One
was committed is strong presumptive
evidence that no man of much brains
was concerned in it, and if it were GER
tain that the bungling character of tina
performance was in no wise attributable
to the disarrangement by unforeseen
circumstances of an Intelligent
plan we should feel little hesita-
ton in declaring that no one was
engaged in it, but the lowest of ward
heelers. There is room for suspicion,
however, that there was an intention to
resort to fraudulent practice in Ward 3,
that part Of the stufing necessary to
ensure Ingraham's election was to be
done there; and that some obstacle pre-
sented itself which could not be over
come. SO that it became necessary to put
all the stufing into Ward |. Certainly
the conduct of the warden in Ward 8
was such as to create strong presump-
ton that he was contemplating some
thing crooked. Like the warden of
Ward / he insisted upon counting the
vote alone; he was defiant in his manner
and in every way conducted himself as
cheap bully bracing himself up to en-
gage in some kind of disreputable per
formance.
But even if it were incontestibly
proved that no Democrat of standing in
the community had anything to do with
such plan as there was, or with the ex-
ecution of it, Democrats of that
sort would not thereby be acquit-
ted from all responsibility. When
man brings goods to your
door under circumstances that ex-
cite strong suspicious that he did not
come by them honestly, it is your duty
toascertain the facts in regard to their
possession before purchasing them or
accepting them as gift. At this point
certainly the decent Democrats failed,
There was strong suspicion that the re-
turns from Ward One were fraudulent.
They were utterly inconsistent with the
returns from the other wards in the city,
and they were inconsistent with the
statements which the Democratic ballot
clerk had made to many residents of the
ward of the number of ballots that had
been given out. Under those circum-
stances it was the duty of all decent men
in the Democratic party. and especially of
the immediate benefciaries of the returns
to institute some inquiry to ascertain
whether they were right or wrong. Yet
not only did they not do that themselves,
but they threw obstacles in the way of
other peoples doing it. They said as

\ Prophet That Failed.

The ladies that were with the Gould
party-Mrs. Edwin Gould, Mrs. Shrady
and Mrs. DIR. Harris-are telling of how
they barely escaped couple of wild
western adventures on the trip from
which they have just returned. AS
their private car rolled into Arkansas
the train was behind time. If it hadn't
been, it would probably have been in
kindling wood long before now. for just
couple of hours ahead of them cloud
burst and cyclone came along and wiped
everything movable off the face of that
part of Arkansas. When this story is
told, the Goulds chucRle as they think of
State Treasurer Stevens of Missouri.
The world knows how Mr.. Stevens was
on train which was robbed.
That afternoon the Gould train stood
in the st. Louis station on the next
track to Mr.. Stevens train. Mr.. Stevens
paid the Goulds call in their car and
as he was leaving assured the ladies they
could subdue their fears as to train rob-
bers, 'as," said he, there are no such
things now in Missouri as train robbers.
You're safe enough" Mr.. Stevens step
ped into his own train, which went the
way the Goulds had just come, and in
less than two hours was stopped by train
robbers. The Goulds went in an oppo-
site direction, and the next morning the
first thing they heard of was Mr.. Stew
ems little encounter.-New York Press.
