Big DEMOCRATIC GAINS
N MAINE ELECTION
Republican Majority Drops From
26,OO Down to I, 900 Bryan
Highly Pleased.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 14.-The re-
publicans carried Maine today by
about 5000 plurality, as against
26,S15 in the last presidential year
and S,034 in 1906. At midnight re-
turns for governor in 46S out Of
Sig cities, towns and plantations
give r. M. Fernald, republican, 72,-
III and Obediah Gardner, democrat,
64,993. The same places in 1904
gave Cobb, republican, 1884 and
Davis, democrat, 49,414. The dem
ocratic vote increased more than
$4,000 over that of 1904, while the
republican vote fell of about 1850.
The republican plurality is the
smallest recorded in a presidential
year in twenty-five years.
The main issue of the campaign
in the state was the liquor question;
the republicans standing pat on the
present system Of prohibition while
the democrats made a great fight for
the re-submission of the question.
National politics cut no figure in the
voting.

President Castro's refusal to per-
NIT the Brazilian charge d'affaires to
assume charge OF French interests in
Venezuela is the latest fuel thrown
on the smouldering fire Of Venezue-
alan's International complications.
Speculation is rife in Caracas as to.
whether or not Brazil will look upon.
this action as an insult directed at
her and what France will do to-
wards getting representation here
for her interests after this rebuke.
For the past two months, ever since
the American legation was with!
drawn, French Interests have been,
.un-represented here and as a con-
sequence many payments by the
Venezuelan government to French
claimants and creditors have gone
unsolicited. Large sums are now in
the banks and are likely to remain
there until some one is given author
lily to receive them.

The State Federation of Women's
Clubs, recently in session at Pierre,
after looking at the capitol passed
resolutions asking the legislature to
provide for only the best American
art in the interior decorations and,
insisting the walls be left plain rath-
er than to accept anything but real
art. Their resolutions suggest that
a progressive scheme Of decoration
bG adopted, small amount OF good
art being provided, now to which
additions may be made from time
to time. This seems like a sensible
procedure. We believe this is the
plan adopted In the National CAPT
tol and that the decorations there
are at the end OF three-quarters Of
a century still incomplete. There
is no hurry about covering the walls
with mural paintings. but whatever
Is done should ibe OF the best the
world can offer.

The statute OF Gen. Francis r.
Spinner, made under the direction
Of an association OF women employees
of the government, is to be erected
opposite the Spinner home in Herki-
mer, New York. General spinner
was treasurer Of the United States
from 1861 to 1875, and when the
clerks Of the Treasury Department:
resigned. during the Civil War, to
enlist in the army, he recommended
that their places be filled BY women.
He carried his point against consid-
cradle opposition, and thus opened
the door to self-support for many;
women. He was notable also as the
inventor Of a peculiar signature
which appeared on ali the national
paper currency. and was the butt Of
the newspaper humorists for years.
But he will be remembered longest
as the man who called on the women
to take the places left vacant BY the
men who went to the front to fight.

the president, it is said, plan for
having a certain number of army
officers sent to Japan and China to-

Eemptles into the Ohio about 300 miles
from Pittsbnrg. II IS one Of the
largest and most valuable bodies Of
hardwood timber remaining in the
Appalachian region. Many OF the
mountain ranges which cross the
tract are from 1000 to 1000 feet
high, and covered TO their SUBMITS
with rich forests.
North of this tract, but drained by
the same streams, lies another hold
ing OF $4,000 acres. recently secur-
ed by pulp company. This is COW
cred with spruce and hemIock, with
many patches of hardwoods. Devel-
opment of the property, It is said,
will begin in the immediate future.
The two bodies of land, lying in the
same region, aggregate more than
500 square miles of primeval forest
about to be turned into marketable
products.
The stripping OF the forest cover
from region so large and so noun
famous Will be watched with interest
by those who study the effect of the
soil cover on stream flow. The rain
fall over the region is very heavy
more than four feet annually. Snow
six feet deep on the timbered noun
tains, while not usual, is an occasional
occurrence. Fire is sure to follow
the usual methods OF numbering, and
unless this region is more fortunate
than most numbered tracts in that
part of the Appalachian plateau,
many OF the SUBMITS and sides Of
the mountains will be laid bare down
to the soil and ROCKS. The rainfull
and melted snow, which are now re-
tarded by the forests, viii then pour
down the naked slopes and cause de-
structive floods in the lower streams,
and low water will follow.
West Virginia is one of the states
which has taken no measures to pro-
tect its valleys from floods by pre-
serving the forests on the mountains.
Its woods are being cut and burned
more rapidly perhaps than those Of
any other state, and this in face of
the fact, that It is by nature forest
state, with soils and situations suit
ed to almost all eastern timber trees.
1t might perpetuate its forests and
have woods of immense value al
ways. A little protection against fire,
the leaving of small trees to form the
future forest, and provision for re-
production by means OF seed trees,
are simple measures, but they would
mean all the difference between vast
ed hi!lsides and we'll stocked forests,
ripe for the ak. A few years would
bring handsome returns from the in
vestment.

Cornweu is Alarmed.

John ]. Cornwell, the last Demo-
cratic nominee for governor Of this
state, is alert to the fact that there
Is plenty of trouble in the Democratic
camp and he believes the war paint
has been spread for the battle. So
fearful Is he that there is to be
waged a terrible strife at the Charles
ton convention the last OF this
month, that he sounds stentorian
notes of warning this week in his
Hampshire County Review. Here
is sample of what Cornwell says:
Fractional fights should not be toll
Grated within our ranks. Long ago
the Review had something to say up
on this subject that was misunder-
stood by some and disregarded by
both classes. Already unnecessary
contests have been made and unseem-
ly talk INDUCED in. We have, per-
haps, been guilty of some strong re-
marks, too, things that should have
been left unsaid, but in extenuation
we may say the provocation was
great. Ambitious Democrats, instead
of going into the political field with
chips on their shoulders, boastng in
their mouths and venom in their
makeup could, perhaps, accomplish
more for themselves and their party
by carrying the olive branch of
peace. When non-combatants are
driven to take sides they are likely
to inquire who commenced the fight
and then enlist against the invader.
Such has been the case in some in
stances this year.
I'VE repeat what we said six
months ago. The Democratic rank
and file should see to 1t that person
al ambitions and personal anlmosi-
ties do not intrude themselves into
democratic councils or conventions
Harmony and victory should be the
watchwords and factionalism should
not be encouraged or even tolerated

swisher is self-Possessed.


Almost as venomous has been the
attack on Charles w. Swisher this
campaign as 1t was upon Governor
Dawson before and after he received
the nomination four years ago. Moth
ing too low, too vile, has been left
unsaid. The character assassin even
worked over time.
But, through it all Swisher did not
lose himself one single moment. He
uttered not one unkind syllable
against any one, neither against his
opponents nor assailants. To the
contrary he kept sublimely sweet and
wore an honest smile for both friend
and foe and gave them a good word
besides.
Even In the trying hour of revolt
Swisher acted nobly. With his fight
grandly won and by fair means and
triumph upon him, he did not lose
his self-control, when he beheld his
beaten enemies plotting to deprive
him of the victory SO we'll and bravely
won. Not the least shadow crossed
his face and no frown knitted mis-
manly brow. To the contrary his
face was wreathed in smiles and his
countenance beamed with forgiveness
and love.
Filled with an earnest desire for
party success and the advancement OF
his state, based on an ambition to
flend the guiding executive hand, his
bosom swelled with gratitude, when
the news of his nomination was con-
veyed to him, and he was ushered be-
fore the greatest convention in West
Virginia history to speak a few
words of acceptance in response to
an insistent and enthusiastic demon
stratlon for his appearance.
Swisher's heart throbblng with the
loyalty of Republlcanism and state
pride, the nominee stood before the
vast and admiring throng feeling
himself truly a member of the great
family of Republicans of West Vir-
gInia, and hate was remote from his
soul, which went out in forgiving

The Republican party has been for
several years not only advocating
but accomplishing the enactment and
enforcement OF wise measures pre-
venting the abuse Of corporate pow
er.- In doing so however the Repub-
lican party has NOT with one vast
sweep gathered all business enter
prises under the accusation that they
have been violating business, moral
and legal ethics. That party recog-
nized the fact that there are many
business enterprises honestly, iegit-
lmately conducted. But to show that
the Republican party has endeayored
to put stop to corporate abuse, It
Is needed only to point out the act
ions taken against such abuse where
1t existed by reason OF outgrown laws
and the development of new condi-
tons OF our rapidly growing country.
The railroad rate regulation, may be
cited. So may the laws enacted reg
ulating foodstuffs and meats. Then
there were the drug trust, lumber
trust, sugar rebate, fertilizer trust,
coal trust, tobacco trust and paper
trust investigations with their re-
sulting legislation. The operation of
the interstate commerce law relative
to discrimination in the distribution
of transportation facilities is also a
noted instance. There have also been
vigorous prosecutions of violators OF
federal statutes who. had banded to-
gether in conspiracies in restraint OF
trade.
The record in brief outline is
sufficient to disprove the wild asser-
tions that the Republican party has
done nothing along these lines: and
also proves that its policies and
achievements are such as to assure
It's ability to cope with these import
ant questions as they arise.
