The Democratic campaign liz this State
has been from the first campaign of
misrepresentation But fortunately their
false charges We're made early enough to
be cffectually rcfutcd. ard while here and
there a voter may have been deceived the
Democratic leaders must realize that you
cannot fool all the people all the time.
We regret to say that the Democratic
candidate for Governor, Hon. Cyrus w.
Davis of WatcrviIle. has made himself
unplcaSantly conspicuous in this connec-
ton and has thereby forfeited the good
opinion formed Of him by many Republ-
cans. There does not appear to be the
slightest excuse or justification for his
personal attacks upon Gov. Cobb. For
exarple. h" charged Gov. Cobb with
multiplying the law in the case of the ex-
penditureS for the SturGiS commission.
He said that the Legislature had appro-
priated only $3.50 and that in ovcrdraw-
ing this amount the Governor and Coun-
Gil had rendered themselves liable to
criminal prosecution ard to fine and i'm
prisonmcnt. When Mr. Davis made this
charge he knew bette. The Sturgis act
as all know. made provision for paying
the deputies their per diem and expenses
out Of money not otherwise appropriated
Mr.. Davis made like charge concerning
tho porcupinc bounty. and it was equally
unfoundcd. Not a warrant was drawn on
this account until after the money had
been appropriated by the Legislature for
the purpose. 1t is difficult to understand
how a man can publicly and deliberately
make such serious charges when he
knows that They are entirely unfounded
1t is certainly dishonest AID dscreditab!e
and ought to, and no doubt will, prove
disastrous to the party or individual re-
sorting to such methods.

The battleship which goes into action
with wet ammunition and spiked guns
is in about the same predicament that
the Maine Democracy finds itself in at
the present stage of the game. It is
deprived of the one great issue upon
which the party leaders laid most en-
phasiS in the early days of the cam
paign. The necessity of raising rail
road" issue of some sort appeared 50
all-important that grave charS. was
made that the Republican Legislature
of I491 had been guilty Of granting 1
% per cent. tax rebate to the Bangor
& Aroostook railroad. Too late II WAS
discovered that the proposal originator
with one of the Democratic State lead
ers; that it was furthercd by Demo-
cratic railroad commissioner. ana re-
ceived the unanimous support oil the 10
Democratic members of the State Leg
islature The blunder has occaSlofiel
considerable amusement both at nome
and abroad, and is leading voters o.
rectly interested in Maine AFFAIRS to
conclude that a party whose leaders
cannot keep track of their own doinSs
is hardly fit to be entrusted with the
management of State affairs.

Honesty and Courage.
brunswick RecOrd)

1t is not often that the people of
Maine have the opportunity and the
privilege of voting for a Governor Of
such statesmanllle character and abil-
ity as William T. Cobb. He is man
with the moral courage to stand
squarely for a principle. Governor
who has added to the dignity and force
of the executive position in Maine, a
political leader who is trying to redeem
the State from the long standing dis
grace of notification. He deserves the
hearty support of every citizen who be-
lieveS i'll enforcement of the law. In
a recent address Gov. Cobb said: at
is not a question of resubmission or of
license with me. IT is a question wheth-
er this law shall be enforced with other
laws. ] think the people are entitled
to know what enforced prohibition
means before they try to change the
law. The people of Maine can change
the law if they will. but 50 long as the
law is there and | am there I'll try to
enforce it to the best of my ability"
Isn't that squarc-edged? He doesn't
dodge responsibility, doesn't try to
shirk what appears to be his duty, but
not afraid of divisions in his own party,
but trusts the people to sustain him. He
ought to be sustained by the largest
majority ever given to Governor of
Maine.

The columns of the Maine Farmer

there been any hesitancy in calling
public attention to men or measures

one party or another. 1t has, with
singleness of purpose. sought to repre-
sent and defend the great body of read
ers and demand of officials that stand
ard of honor which would best serve
the State. Having openly criticised
one party, that in power. regardless of
individual affiliations, it is only Just
that the opposition party be measured
with the same yardstick. The Farmer
has defended the State. and the rural
inhabitant and his interests. because
these are most vital to the state. and
in measuring political parties today this
is the one standard to be applied. The
Democratic party. through its public
speakers and printed editorials. has
made great promises. 1t has promised
to reduce taxes and State expenses, and
make the state honest, but not in a
single instance has there been indicated

There is no doubt about Theodore
Roosevelt'S being q very popular man,
not only with til" men who affiliate
with the Republican party but with
thousands Of Democrats. Especially
does this statement hold true in Maine.
President Roosevelt is held i'll general
esteem by the people of this State.
They believe in his integrity, in his
honesty. TO them Theodore Roosevelt
is the type of what American citizen
ship should stand for. And is II not
singular fact that every Democratic
campaign orator and every Democratic
paper in this Maine campaign Omlts no
oppcrt,,nity to attack President Roose-
welt and his administration? Candidate
Davis organ, the Waterville Sentinel,
has never, in its editorial columns, ex-
pressed anything but criticism OF
RooScvelt's policy and of Roosevelt
personality. Candidate Davis. himself,
in different parts of the State. has at
tucked President Roosevelt from the
platform, believing evidently that by
50 doing he advanced the cause of his
brand of Democracy.
Previous to the present campaign. it
was thought that man could be &
Democrat and not a demagogue. The
attitude of the leaders of the party OF
Davis and Pattangall and Jones and
Pennell AMI Hunnewell as well as the
attitude of their newspapers. is proof
positive that. according to their stand
ard. q man cannot be a consistent Dem
ocrat unless he is a dcmagogue.
To vote for Davis and his crowd Is
to discard true Democracy and stand
for what they advocate in their criti-
| GEMS of Roosevelt.
How many Democrats will vote to
pull down Roosevelt and promote the
| demagogueS Of Maine?

valuation of Aroostook farm lands
has been multiplied by three. The
gain i'm population has been greater
than in any other Maine county. Per
haps it is not fair to credit all this
new prosperity to the railroad, though
one must hunt far and enlarge his
ina gination beyond rational bounds to
find any other cause for ArOostoOk's
growth Here are the facts: ArOOS-
took has made greater material gains
in the less than IS years of aR-Amer-
lean railroad, than it did during the
previous 20 years since Maine became
State. Now if this wonderful gain
is not due to the new railroad. can
some political economist inform the
public what the real cause is?
This paper is not retained by the
Bangor &. Aroostook or by any other
railroad to defend it's acts. There are
able and shrewd lawyers who are
capable of doing such business. and
who are paid well for their services.
Meantime, no paper and no political
party can lose by telling the exact
truth regarding every transa ion. 1t
| is a sign of weakness for any party or
any candidate to attempt to make
political capital from any legislation
| that affects the Bangor & Aroostook
RAILROAD. Whatever of harm or of
good the new road has brought in
| Maine falls on individuals in both the
| big political organizations. and in nc
| way can the acts be constructed into
doing service for either party.
The foregoing facts are so patent to
every sane voter of Maine that this
paper feels like apologizing to its
readers for devoting 50 much space tc

known of his refusing to join his asso-

increase in valuation and consequently
in tax, is due to the work of Tire Re
