The Money Which Hearst Spent.

Hearsts campaign expense account
makes interesting reading. As rcquir-
"a by the law Of New York hc has
filed sworn statement which shows
that his personal expenses in the cam
paign for Envcrnorship. in which for
total Of $25G.00o. This sum is great
enough to break all records and out

no means represents what Hearst paid
out in his attempt to buy the: govern
orships 1t does not include any of The
money spent in his campaign for the
nomination which was even more ex-
rcnsiye for him than his campaign for
votes at the polls. Neither does it
make any. account OF the great sums
paid by him to- his chief workers who
are men continually in his employ, nor
of. the money represented by the pub
LEGATION and free distribution in all
parts of the state of his yellow news
paper, which was merely daily cam
paign circular Cor him in the weeks
before the election. Thus the quarter
of a million which appears on his
sworn statement does not begin to rep
resent what he actually paid out The
man who acclaimed loudly against cor
porations for putting money into cam
paigns. himself. in order to buy the
governorship, put many times as much
money into the campaign as any cor
poration or combination Of corpora
tios is known ever to have given to
help elect a president. Posing as a
champion Of the poor man, he was
scattering a. corruption fund of hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars. No Won
der. the heelers' of the party which he
has disgraced and 7debatched are hop
ing that he will be the Democratic
nominee for the presidency in. 1908
= This revelation of money :. which
Hearst spent to. further: his political
makes him a more repulsive
and ominous figure than ever.

The Coming State Grange Meeting.

The meeting OF the Maine state
Grange in this city during the week
of December Il is an event of import
ance not only to Augusta but also to
the members of this great and flourish
ing order throughout the State. Last
years meeting was held at Bangor
and the year earlier at Waterville, and
Augusta vas selected as the place for
this years meeting by committee
which remembered well the SUCCESS Of
earlier meetings here and the whole
hearted character of sAugustas hospi-
tally. This year, as in the past the
capital City: will have genuine and
generous: welcome FOR the delegates
and members who assemble here and
will leave nothing undone to make the
meeting pleasant and profitable The
Augusta. Board. Of Trade has taken
prompt steps toward the entertainment
Of the visitors. and the journal hopes
that our business men and our citizens
generally will give their hearty CO.
operation to the work of the various
committees of the Board. There is
much to be done, but the work is in
good hands and it is safe to count upon
the people of Augusta.
The annual meeting of the National
Grange has just been held at Denver,
and that meeting bore witness of the
change which has conrc about within
the order OF Patrons of Husbandry dur
ing the past decade. In earlier years
the membership and influence of the
Grange was very largely in the West,
and the order was of relatively small
importance in the East Now the sit
uation has greatly changed about.

teal power in the West with the result
that it has suffered a great decline
