MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Would Be Reaffirmed.

(SomerSet ReporterD
Since the State election newspapers in
and out of the state have been discuss
ing the cause of the Republican slump
in ma jnrity. The conclusion arrived ut
is about the same as expressed by the
Reporter in our editorial Immediately
following the namely. that the
peopl" demand the repeal of the SturgiS
deputy law, and the resubmSSiOn to
them of the prohibitory law. Their eX-
preston is as emphatic as though these
questions were presented to them as thu.
only issue. The Republican party will
be in the ma jority in the next LegiS!a-
ture, ana they must Suuarcly and man
fully take the responsibility of lcgSla :
tiol.. The old State conStabuiary law
WAS kept upon the books until ii fell of
its own weight and dragged the Rcpub
lican party down with it to defeat. Th"
people have repudatcd the SturSiS law,
and if it is allowed to remain upon the
statute books it will prove fatal to the
plohibitrry law itself. Submit to the
people Of Maine the plain question of
prohibition or licenSe-and il must come
for the people demand it-and We have
10 doubt that the principle of nrohioi-
ton will be rca afiirme,l, as it has twice
been in the history Of the state. and the
n.Sitiuu of the Republican party en-
1orSfI.

The Battle in New York,

A political battle in the state of New
York always commands the attention
of the whole country, not only because
Empire state is the greatest of our
commemorative. but also because the
results of its state and local campaigns
have frequently had much influence
upon national politics. There will be
unusual interest in the gubernatorial
campaign which was begun there when
the conventions of the two parties
made their nominations this week. The
Republican nominee is Charles F.
Hughes, a lawyer of New York City
who has become known throughout the
world as the chief figure in the recent
insurance investigation. He is a law
Yer Of exceptional ability and a man
with a perfectly clean record. The
nomination came to him unsought and
was a manifestation of the determina-
ton of the Republican masses of the
state to have an absolutely honest man
lead them in the campaign, a man who
owes allegiance to no boss and under
whose banner all can rally in the cause
of good government. The Democratic
| rominee is William Randolph Hearst,
the worlds most notorious yellow jour-
| nalist whose political methods are On

papers and the illustrations of his col

DYNAMO REPAIRED.
Cracker Jack Mill Can Now
Be Started Next Week.

Electricians from Lewiston COM
pleted the repairs on the injured
Cracker Jack dynamo Tuesday
evening and the machiue was start
ed for the Hump yesterday morn
ing. Owing to the bad condition
of the roac it may take three or
four days to get it to the mine but
with ordinary good luck the mill
will be able to start up early next
week.
A large quantity Of fine ore is
said to be ready for treatment and
with no further misfortunas it is
believed the mine will soon be on
paying basis. Work done during
the past winter on several of the
properties in that camp has shown
the best ore yet discovered and
many are confident that an era OF
prosperity has at last -dawned on
the district.

Bargain Days.

Grangeville is justly getting an
enviable reputation as desirable
place to buy merchandise. Special
sales being held by the leading
merchants are offering bargains
never before equalled in this coun
ty and in an effort not to be out
done many staple articles are sold
at less than half the usual price.
This is money saved to the GUS
toner who takes advantage of the
occasion and buys what he needs
while the sale is on. Last week
the Alexander Freidenrich COM
pany made sweeping reductions in
many lines and hundreds of people
thronged the establishment to take
advantage of the sale. During the
clothing sale on Friday they sold
33 suits of clothes and l57 pairs OF
shoes. There was 40 percent re-
duction in these lines on that day
which meant a $40 suit for $l2 and
shoes worth $3.50 went for s2.10.
The B. L. Crosby Co. also gave
a bargain sale on shoes that attract
ed great many customers and
gave values rarely offered in this
city.
This week W. F. Schmadeka is
conducting a "Happy Week" salt
and has gotten out most attrac-
tive price list representing the
"Happy" family and making price'
that means a big saving to purchas
ers. The specisl sale custom hal

promise many Of these bargain
