What have those Democratic MEM
bcrs Of the 1891 Legislature who voted
solidly for the partial rebate of the f..
x A. taxes to say about the dirty at
tack which the Democratic managers
are now making upon them? They.
in common with the Republican MEM
bcrs Of that Legislature, voted for a
measure which aimed to develope the
state and advance it's material inter-
ests. The results of that legislation
have amply indicated their good
judgment and patriotism. The state
did wise and farsighted act in helping
- indirectly. to be sure, but neverthe-
less hclping-in the construction Of the
Bangor & Aroost ook road which has
made possible the wonderful growth of
northern Maine and the great pros
pcrity it now enjoys. What does
northern Maine think of this Demo-
cratic contention that it should have
been allowed to remain a wilderness
This Democratic issue is proving the
liveliest kind of a boomerang. Incl

During his Rumford Falls speech
Candidate Davis placed on the table
before him a bottle of whiSkey which
he eolemnly asserted had been bought
in the town "under his own personal
observation" This was felt by him
to be a strong argument why he.should

oandidate Davis in his stump speech
teils the people of Maine that the ex-
pehSes of the Legislature were $4,000
Greater IN 1905 than in 1895. Let us
see how much truth there is in his
statement. To begin with, he states
the 1895 expense as $4,000 lower
man it actually was, and then he in
ciudes the legislative printing. a matte.
~ over $4,000. in his 1905 total and
iea'es II out of the 1895 total This
dlsp"ses Of over $4,000 Of his $4,000
increase" This is a sample of the
Davis brand of stump oratory. Shall

things he expected him TO do. He
went on the assumption that he had
right to be in the senate and TO
speak and act for his constituents.
regardless of the rules of senatorial
courtesy. These things he dia and
in so doing, smashed the tradition
that new man must serve six
year term in the senate before he is
entitled to be heard by that august
body.
Common fairness must admit,
however, that he did more than this.
He gained the ear of the country.
He won recognition from the leading
conservative newspapers of the
country. He Modified to some ex-
tent the antagonism of the presi-
dent, But more than this, he &C
complished things in the senate. 1t
has been said that he accomplished
more in the way OF legislati on than
any Other Individual senator Per
haps that is overstated, but at any
rate he made record for himself of
which he and the state may be
proud. He has impressed his per-
sonality upon the senate and upon
the country and has convinced
many thoughtful people that he is
one of the strongmeL Of the nation.
Today Senator LaFollette comes to
Milwaukee For the first time since
the senate adjourned. We are
pleased to have him here. He
comes among people who, whatever
may have been their attitude to-
wards him in the past, now extend
to him the recognition that is due
to man who has done faithful pub
lie service.

Senator La Toilette.

The following editorial appeared
in the Milwaukee Journal Saturday
July 21st. The Journal is a Demo-
cratic paper.
There have been many people in
this state who have not believed in
Mr.. LaFollette. There are MANY
people now who do not believe in
him. But regardless of their be-
liefs they must, if. they wish to be
fair, take off their hats to him in
acknowledgements of what he has
done since he entered the United
States senate on the 4th of last
January.
There was gleeful anticipation
among Senator LaFollette's old
time political opponents over the
Waterloo he was to meet when he
went to Washington. They rubbed
their hands with JOY over the awful
awakening that would come to him
when he ''stormed" the senate.
Wonderful stories were told about
the things the senator expected to
do. He was to make a regular brass
band entry into the senate. He
was going to run Aldrich and the
other bosses of the senate to cover
the first day. And so on. But al
ways these stories had the same
ending. The senator would learn
thing or two after he entered the
senate. He would find that sena-
toaial courtesy could hold him as it
had held other youngsters. There
was an awful squelching in store for
him.
And the senator? He went to
Washington quietly. He assumed
his duties quietly and bided his
time. That came. of course. It
was bound to come. He was ready
for it, and great injustice to the
Indians, if not a great attempt at
graft, was averted through his eff
forts. The country had heard from
LaFollette. He bided his time
again. and again the opportunity
came. His speech upon the rate
bill was one of the few great speech
es of the session. Other opportuni-
ties came which he used faithfully
and to good advantage.
The result was discontinue to the |
men who had gleeful anticipations
of his downfall. He did not do the
