West Slips From Bryan.

Mr. BRYAN has been busy soaping the
Western geyser SO that it would be in
fire shape to spout Democratic votes in
November But assduous as he has been
with the applications of the Common-r
brand of soap, the West resolutely re-
fuses to give forth the premonitions OF
a vigorous outshooting of ballots of the
Bryan brand. There is nothing eruptive
in political conditions in the West The
Western States are placid and in con-
tented state of mind. Whether or not
other sections harp upon the hard-times
string. the Western farmer. with bumper
crops and incnerated mortgages that
have marked tn" course of the pending
administration. has no reason to com
plain about the times. He is the main
spring of the country's prosperity. The
East has looked to the West and called
upon it to do its duty. and under the
smlins: skies and nourishng rains its
fields have brought forth abundantiy of
the cereals that make SO much of the
wealth Of the country.
The Fast is now calling upon the West
to do its duty politically. The political
trend is apt to follow the economic. he
forecasts of the political outcome in the
Western states is particularly Ominons
for William Jennings Bryan. The West
has SO long been deluded by the prophet
of calamity that it is determined to ally
itself fixedly with the prophets Of pros
perity.
Tie days of claptrap are days when
there are causes of discomfort. The days
of sound reason are days when the people
are happy and contentcd. These times
are wonderfully fun of the inspiration
and optimism of existing facts The po-
litical nocromancer is not needed in times
| of clear skies, clear sense and clear pur-
pose.
Mr.. BRYAN has become meditative, In
| view of the Indications that some of the
| states that have stood by him will join
the procession of Republican progress. He
has nothing to say when asked for his

talking for him. They will talk through

| a multitude whose rejection of Mr.. Bryan
| will be the most emphatic in the history
of American politics. -
| Mr.. Bryan's breakdown in the West Is
| partly due to the fact that he Is a rad
ical seeking Job. The country does not
care for the radical brand Of political

brand that bears the marx ~ use ana

of the woods taking the road back to

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
lie Nailed, Nail Clinched.
Portland Press.)

That car,raien lie about Hon John T.
Swascv III the second district was cum
nincly conceived, it was a vigorous sprln-
ter and il got a good start. hut it was
promptly run down and nailed, and the
nails have been clinched 50 hard and fast
that tile lie will never 60 again. The
first nail was Mr.. SwaseN's positive de-
NAL that he had ever said az reported
that the laboring classes were getting
more than they deserved. The srcord
nail was the sworn statement on lsalc
Tobin OF Canton that Nj. Swasey never
said ANYTHING Of the kind il, his hearing.
The third and last nail appears IN the
form Of letter to the Watervllo Sertl-
mel b. S. p. Ellis Of Canton, another
neighhor in whose presence and in con-
versation with whom Nh. Swasey was
said 10 have made these sighting re-
marks This is the letter:
Canton, Me, Aug. Is. 1908.
To the Editor Of the Watervlle Sentinel
in relation to the statement printed in
the Waterville Sentinel under date Of
Aug. II and later dates, | wish TO say that
the statements made to your paper anu
the Argus to a conversation which l had
with John T.. SWaSoN are not true. Inc
conversation was not about lahorlng
classes in general but related only to the
oxford mills.
MIR. Swasey did not say then. nor never
did in my presence, that the ]aborlng
classes were getting more than they de-
served.
The whole publication was an under
handed trick and intended to irjure Mr..
Swasey. We had no heated discussion at
ALL Most of the talk was in joking
manner and with no thought of an alGu-
ment.
I have known Mr.. Swasey personally
all my life and know him to be upright
and honorable.
Respectfully.
S. B. ELLIS.
Mr.. Ellis is a Democrat, but this Demo-
cratic trick OF attempting to foist upon
his Republican neighbor a discreditable
statement which he did not make dis
gusts him. and he repudiates it entirely,
50 far Ha he is concerned. The design
was to stir up the labor vote against Mr..
Swasov. but the poison of the attack has
been neutralized so quickly that it is not
likely to do any harm In fact the I'M
fairness Of it may help him more than it
hurts him. The lie is securely nailed. but
the Democratic managers will probably
so on insisting that there must have been
some basis to the report and that if Mr..
Swasey did not say so he probably
thought so and therefore should be voted
against on general principles, like the
Dutchnan who whipped his boy for
thinking damn.
