The New Age supports the contention
of the iWatervilie Sentinel that Levi r.
Williams of Augusta and Irving o.
Gage of Winthrop are the Democratic
candidates for county commissioner
and county treasurer. This would
seem conclusive, since the owners of the
Agc and Sentinel are ais" the majority
owners of the Democratic party in
Kennebec county. The Lewiston
News. however. which is owned by
Mae the Mum, remains unconvinced
and insists that the candidates for the
two offices named are J. b. Packard of
Monmouth and Timothy s. Harrington
of China. This difference of opinion
Is important only as il illustrates the
sad lack of harmony among the Demo-
cratic bosses. and shows the disad-
vantages of having candidates selected
by a ring instead of being chosen by
the convention delegates.

Yes, dear Republican friends. we
know the state tax rate has been re-
duced. You have told us about 1t
times enough, and We have never
questioned il But State taxation has
not been reduced. but is a great burden
on the':people and their industries than
ever.-WaterciIle Sentinel.
This is q fair sample of the mac
curaey of Democratic statements. In
1882 the taxpayers of Maine paid to-
ward the running expenses of the State
s1.o55, 2s9.62. In 1906 the taxpayers of
Maine paid s91S,174.19 toward the
running expenses of the State, and vet
in the face of these facts the Sentinel
coolly declares that State taxation
has not been reduced. but is a greater
burden upon the people and their in
dustries than ever" Such falsehoods
invariably react upon the parties who
resort to them i'm the desperate ana
INSCRIPTIONS effort to bolster up {
waning cause.

a Lurid Democratic Claim.

"The Democratic party Is the party
blandly remarks the Waterviiie
Sentinel, and there is as much truth
in the remark as there is in most of
the assertions, claims, charges and
promises with which the Democrats
are filling the air 50 thickly during
the present campaign. That is to
say. il is absolutely devoid of truth
1t was because it was opposed to the
great principles of freedom and be
cause a new party Of freedom was
formed that the Democratic party.
after a long period of power, Went to
pieces nearly half century ago. Its
defense of slavery brought it the
crushing disaster from which it has
rot yet recovered. The political party
at that time in which the people wisely
PUT their trust and which saved the
country from the ruin which Demo-
cratic rule had prepared was the
Republican party, the new party of
freedom.
The Democratic party is no more
now the party of freedom, in the best
and broadcast sense of the word. than
il was in those years, long ago. To be
sure. it stands for some free" things,
which the Republican party opposes,
for instance. free trade. which would
bring industrial ruin to the country,
free silver, which would bring
financial ruin, and free rum, which
would bring ruin into every home.
Sut these are not the forms of free
dom" which the country wants. nor is
the Democracy boasting of its connec-
ton with them. Equally absurd with
the claim that it is the party Of free
dom is the assertion that the Demo-
cratic party is the party of law and
order 1t is no more the party of law
and order in this State today than il
was in the nation at large in the dark

CRAPSEY DECISION REACHED
Result of Appeal in Heresy Case to
Be Known Monday.
Secret Session of Episcopal Court
Ends, and Rochester RectOr's Sus-
penSe Is Made Permanent.

New York. Nov. 16-Bishop Scarbor-
ough. Of New Jersey, who IS president of
the Episcopal court Of review. which has
been considering the appeal Of Rev. Dr.
Algernon CraDsey. of Rochester. who was
suspended last Nay on the charge Of
heresy. announced that the court had fin
isbed its work.
"The decision has been reached" he said.
''and will be made public on Monday, after
It has been delivered personally TO the
Bishop Of Western New York, to the pres
ident Of the standing committee Of that
diocese, and 10 DIT. Crapsey."
This decision was reached after two
hearings on October 70 and %. in which
the prosecution and defense were repre-
sented. and after two secret court sessions,
November . and to-day
The members Of the court were Bishop
Scarborough. Canon John r. Moses, Of
Garden City: Rev. \. B. Baker. Of Prince
ton; Rev. ". r. Huntington, Of New York
City. Charles Andrews, former chief jus
tiCe Of the Court Of Appeals in this State;
Judge Frederic Adams, q Newark. and
James Parker. a lawyer from Perth Am
boy
This court Of review, under the church
canons. has no jurisdiction over questions
OF doctrine. faith, and worship, and can
consider only the technical points Of the
appeal such as the admission Of certain
evidence and testimony.
If the decisiGl affirms the decision cf
the original court, there is no further ap-
peal for Dr. CraDsey. and. in the words
of the former sentence. he will be "sus-
pended from exercising the functions of a
minister Of this church until such time a.
he shall satisfy the ecclesiastical authcri-
ties Of this diocese that his belief and
teaching conform 70 the doctrines Of the
Apostles creed and the Nicene creed, as
this church hath received the same.

Norfolk Va Nov. I6-The annual con-
ference of the Virginia Methodist Church.
in session at Portsmouth, had its first
thrill to-day, when Bishop Hendrix sus-
taiEed point Of order against Rev. w. II.
Atweli. presiding elder of the Danvile
district, and came near precipitatins an
exciting episode.
Mr. AtweH who is one of the most
popular members Of the conference. was
telling Of the difficulties of the work Of
his missionaries in the mountains. where
a sect. which openly opposes their efforts
for temperance. has caused them a great
deal of annoyance.
An excellent mimic himself Rev Mr..
Atwell proceeded TO take or the pc
cularities of speech Of the anti-temper-
ance pulpiteer. when Rev. B. T. Lipscomb
made the point OF order that no minister
Of the Methodist Conference should be
permitted to parody a minister of another
denomination.
The bishop sustained the point, and
there were instantly a dozen delegates on
their feet to defend Mr.. Atwell. and great
excitement prevailed, which quieted down
only after the offending minister apollo
gized to the conference.
