Republicans Have Everything Their
Own Way.
Parker Was a Heavy Load.
Democracy's Hope is in William }.
Bryan of Nebraska.

Parker was too big a load for the
Democrats to carry and they have
found it out. Western Democrats
positively refused to vote for him.
and the bad breaks he made during
the campaign turned the Eastern
Democrats away from him by multi
tudes. The dead weight of Parker
carried down to defeat everybody on
the ticket with him in the doubtful
states.
Roosevelt'S victory is sweeping
one. The people of this grand and
glorious country would rather have
Roosevelt for president than the can
didate of the Standard Oil Company
and they so expressed themselves on
Tuesday.
During the whole campaign MIR.
Roosevclt'S honesty Of purpose was
never questioned, except by Parker.
who made complete fool of himself
only a few days before the election.
when he accused President Roose.
welt of being backed by the trusts.
when he himself is a trust benefici-
ary, owning large blocks of stock in
several combines.
VIM. j. Bryan today stands at the
head of the Democratic party, and to
him Democracy turns for hope. Al
though twice defeated for the presi-
dency. Bryan would have made a
better race than did Parker. In
short, the reorganized Democracy
played HI. Bryan is the leader of
Democracy's hosts and will be con-
suited in 1908.
In all close or doubtful districts
the Democratic candidates went to
defeat because of the Parker mill
stone around their necks.
To prove the unpopularity of Mr..
Parker we need only to cite the fact
that several states which voted over
whelmingly for Roosevelt. elected
Democratic governors.
In no place did Parker run as we'll
as did Bryan four years ago.
If the Democrats hope to ever win
the presidency they must stop their
chickering's and stand for something.
How must the reorganized Dem
ocracy feel about now?

Walking Horses,

An important change needs to 6e
made in our methods of breeding. A
glance at any of the large posters that
adorn the walls and fences, announcing
the services of this or that stallion will
indicate the supreme thought and wish
of the breeder. Phe public or private
trial is announced in attractive form
and with great display, but if there is
the slightest mention OF the walking
gait, it is the briefest possible, in some
out-of-the-way place and in the smallest
type.
is it not time to call halt and see
where we are drifting?
1t will do for trotting journals to
emphasize the speed element, but dc
the farmers of Maine want to breed with
this one object in view? We think not.
A fast walker is always desirable horse
and this quality, of itself, will insure
ready sale at good prices.
On our farms, in our carts, on the
road, over the hills, which are to be
found everywhere in our eastern climate,
it is the fast walking horse that gives
greatest satisfaction.
Speed is not desired in either OF the
above mentioned places, then why make
it the one object to be gained9
A fast walker is always rapid travel
er, no matter if the trotting pace be
slow
What we need in Maine is stations
for service that have not been trained
for speed, but have through inherited
tendencies and natural instincts quick
motions when walking, and what is
termed fast walking gait. Such horses
ought to be and would be, in great de
mand among the large class of farmers
and the result would soon be apparent
in our road horses.
