this is not the year for Republican
apathy. They hoped to fool the voters
by confusing the issues, but this is not
the year for Republicans to be buncoed.
They expected to brighten New Eng
land conservatism by ranting about
"militarism," but Vermonters are not
afraid of q straw man. The Republic
cans of the Green Mountain state nave
pointed the way for the 1904 campaign.
They have given Theodore Roosevelt
and the cause of honest government
the endorsement they deserve. They
have given the party of negatlon ana
laundering and fault-tinding the re-
hu,ke If merits. They have said that
the party which has met every duty
fairly. fully and faithfully deserves t"
be continued in charge OF national al
fairs and that the party which has Il
cipher candidate, a perforated platform
and no positive policy on anything Is
NOT TO be trusted with the reins OF
government.
Now that Vermont has been heard
from it is next the turn of Maine. and
Maine must speak as plainly and as
positiyelv as has its sister state. Here
also there is an attempt to fool the
voters by the plea that only State is
sues are involved, and here also the
Democrats are making every effort to
cut down the Republican margin for
Inc moral effect of such Il reduction
upon the country at large. 1t is the
privilege of Maine Republicans to play
their part in this great national cam
paign by rolling up a splendid Repub-
lcan victory. next Monday, all along
the line. The cause and the candidates
| merit such Il victory. and it is desirable
| for the welfare of the State and the
| nation. Vermont has done her duty
we'll and Maine must not fail in hers

Humor of the Campaign.

The American people have a saving

gaze upon the homogeneous aggrega-
ton which such leaders as Hill, Bel
mont and Taggart are trying to mar
shall into order for an assault upon the
White House and the national treas
ury. Not since Coxey led his hosts to-
ward Washington has such gro
tesque army assembled.
The campaign is still young. but al
ready these rich situations have devel-
oped which gre summed up by the
New York Mail. Just consider them
and it will prove an effective aid to
the digestion:
A nominating convention which at
tempted in this day of grace and daily
papers to buncO a nation in broad day
light with WORKOUT financial shell
game:
A candidate whose opinions were
deliberately concealed on all subjects
until after MS Nominations,
A platform whose single virtue is
that it's one important plank is sup
posed to be identical with the enemy's;
A nominee whose first utterance en-
ragged and dismaycd his supporters be-
cause it was sane, and, so far as il
went, sound;
A distinct pledge by the candidate
| that so far as in him lies he is for
alienation of American soil;
A national chairman who peddles
rainbows and actually is of no con-
sequence in the campaign;
| A CONSTITUTION" Club supporting q
party that for eight years has stood
for the abolition of the Supreme
Court of the United States:
Spellbinders who but yesterday were
preaching Organism crying out every

!! There is no doubt that of all men
living in the United States In these
opening years Of the 10Th century, the
man best qualified by training and eX-
pericncc for the high duties Of tn
presidency is Theodore Roosevelt. TIL
American people recognize this fact:
they trust him implicitly; they know
that he is fair to all classes; that he /:
a friend Of the laborins man; that n
is absolutely honest and fearless in tn
discharge OF every duty, and they know
that the only ones to whom he is "un-
safe" are those who seek to break the
laws of the land. He has the training,
character and personality, which max.
great men and great statesmen; and Is
also trained in the experience an'
methods that relate to the business
the high office he holds. He meet
every test of fitness. There is no mys-
terry or concealment in his character
His attitude upon all public questions
is well known; his record is open to th'
world, and is one of our country
prOudest possessions. He stahd'
squarely upon the platform of hi
party and has fulfilled the pledges h.
made when he succeeded his lamente,.
predecessor.
AS Governor Black said of him in hi:
speech at Chicago, President Roosevelt
is 1.-The highest living type of the youth
| the viSor and the promise of great
country and great age Senator
Eeveridge, at that same convention
| WAS right in characteriZing Theodore
Roosevelt as one whose sympathles
are as wide the republic, whose
| courage. honesty and vision meet al
emergencies, and the sum of whose
| qualities makes him Il typ" of the 2oth
century Amercanism.' Mr.. Knight OF
| California;. was right in eulogiZing him
rs the embodiment of American ideals.

man whose so-called "impulsvcness'
is the frank habit of IA man in who's
makeup dishonesty, cowardice and
Guplicity have no part" Mr. Root
| closed his great speech as temporary
| chairman Of that convention with a
| tribute to Mr.. ROosevelt's personal
| qualities, and these are the concluding
| words Of that memorable address:
| NO people can maintain free govern
mcnt who do not in their hearts value
the qualities which have made III"

Roosevelt as an Issue.

With ii straddling and perforated
platforms; with Il candidate who stands
for absolutely nothing; with discord
prevailing among its leaders: with an
escape. the Democracy is indeed in
desperate straits for an issue in this
campaign. And 50 upon the principle
of an old lawyer, who said that when
he had no case he always devoted his
time to violently abusing the other
lawyer, it seeks to make the per-
Sonality of President Roosevelt himself
the main issue in the campaign. and
such leading Democratic lights as Hill.
Bailey, Tillman. Champ Clark, Gov
ernor Vardaman and Bourke Cochran
have set the pace III -villfying the
nations chief executive and in trying
to convince American voters that he is
an unsafe man to be at the head of the
government, that he is Il plotter
against the constitution, and an
ambitious, INSCRIPTIONS schemer who
seeks to become a dictator to crush the
land under the heel of military
despotism.
1t is needless to say that the Re-
publican party welcomes such an issue
as this. Not only are these attacks
upon President Roosevelt confession
of the weakness Of the Democratic
cause. but the more they are continued
by such men as were enumerated
above. the more the American people
greater confidence and faith in him.
The Democratic leaders cannot agree
upon the money question: upon the
tariff question; upon the trust ques-
ton: or upon the Philippine problem,
and the more these matters are dis
cussed, the more apparent it is that the
Democracy is completely mixed and
confused upon them, and the more APP
parent it is that the Republican course
is the one of safety. and of progress
and it's policy the one Of wisdom and
patriotism.
Realizing these things. the Demo-
cratic editors and spelIbinders turn the
battery Of their mud guns upon the
President. David 3. Hill assures the
people that he is fraud" and pledge
breaker; Senator Bailey solemnly
lynching; Senator Tillman tells the
people that he can hardly sleep nights
for fear Of being aroused by wars wild
alarms: Governor Nardaman. when he

this upon the American people? Will

eaters weigh i'm their minds against the
life and record of Theodore Roosevelt ?
There is little danger of it. The
American people know their President
TOO well to be fooled by any such
charges and comments from sources
like these. They judge the President
by his own splendid record of public
service. by his manifestations Of
I integrity. manlincss. independence.
, courage and patriotism. and ais,
by the company he keeps. And
when they see around him such
, men as John Hay. Elhu Root

Talk about changing figures. All the
Democratic papers Of the state were
claiming short time ago that the
state expenses have increased 800 per
cent in twenty years. The Democratic
campaign supplement just issued. ac-
knowledges that the claim Is wrong
and states that the real increase is 233
per cent. Even those figures are ex-
travagantly wrong. but it is encourag-
ing to see even a Sc per cent tendency
toward confession on the part Of the
Maine Democracy.

Charles Il. Dickey, Maine manager
for X. G. Dun & Co.'S Mercantile
Agency, says: General trade continues
satisfactory, and the leading jobbing
houses handling dry goods, shoes and
clothing report sales fully up to last
year. In one or two lines, however
such as drugs. provisions and building
supplies there has been a slight falling
off. Collections on the whole are bet
ter than for some time with money in
good local demand. Shoe factories are
well supplied with orders sufficient to
employ full force for some time, but
a number of the textile mills are cur
failing as the stocks of raw cotton are
reduced. Although the summer hotels
have been fairly well patronized and a
number have turned away guests in
the height of the season the tourist
business as whole is reported below
last summer. The State continues
practically free from labor disputes.
