One of the most actively developed

The Attack on Mr.. Owen.

When Democratic county ofiiciai
who is a candidate for reelection
stands upon a platform before a la1ga
audience and denounces Rev Charles
+. owen of WatervilIc as "a coward
and a cur "a snake in the grass, and
a man who sells himself to the high
est bidder" it shows that the aforesaid
Democratic candidate is very far for
getting his manners and that me real
ICES the desperate straits of himself
and his party in this campaign. His
grievance against Mr.. owen lies in the
fact that Mr. Owen is the Maine Su-
perinterdcnt of the Anti-saloon League
Of America and that in his official ca
pacity, with no personal animus but
acting wholly upon the facts as he findS
them, he is forced to criticise the negll-
gence OF Democratic officials in this
county and to condemn the attitude
of the Democratic party for its adj
vocacy of the saloon.
Mr. owen is 4 Christian gentleman
md is neither a cur nor coward. nor
IS he Il snake in the grass nor a man
who sells himself to the highest bidder.
Everybody who knows him at all
knows bis high character and his un-
selfish motives. All who heard the at
tack upon him the other evening in
this cit. knew that it was wholly I'M
deserved and they understood the rea-
sons behind it. On the STUMP and in
the press the Democratic campaign in
Maine this fall has been a matter of
mud Singing and personal abuse, and
it will get the kind of a rcbuke at the
polls next Monday which that kind of
a campaign richly deserves.

Gardner and BRYAN.

At last we have the admission from
Gardner represents in Maine what
William Jennings Bryan represents in
the nation, in other words that a vote
for Gardner next Monday will be
vote for Bryan. This has been the
Republican contention throughout the
campaign, but the Democrats have
shown great agility in lodging this
proposition. The admission was made
upon the platform at the Democratic
rally at Augusta City hall last Tues
day evening by Mr.. Pattangall of
Watcrvillc, and while it did not evoke
even futter of applause there was
nothing he said during his speech
which made such an impression upon
his hearers His petty and insincere
criticism of state affairs under Re
publican administration, his bubbling
wit at the expense of the party in
power, and even the spectacular ex-
speaker who followed him. did not
give the audience so much food for
thought as the frank admission of Mr..
Pattangall that "Gardner represents
in the state what Bryan does in the
nation"
The Waterville gentleman knows
what he is talking about in this con-
nection. for he wrote the platform
upon which Mr. Gardner is running
cotcrie of Democratic bosses who
placed Mr. Gardner in nomination in
the hope of hamboozling the country
voters OF Maine this fall This add
mission simplifies the campaign. Every
vote for Gardner next Monday will be
vote for Bryan, and the Republicans
whose votes the Democrats are seek
ing in such desperate cndeavor viii
take due notice and govern themselves
accordingly. Those thousands of
Democrats in Maine to whom this
third dose of Organism is nothing less
than nauseating, will also be interested
in this authoritative statement by Mr.
Pattangall himself that in voting for
Gardner they will be voting for Bryan
and Bryanism This refreshing frank
ness on the part of the Democratic
speaker who entertained his Augusta
audience is to be commended. There
are several other things touching the
frankness on his part would be equal
ly welcome in Republican circles.

The Democracy's Past.

The organ of mud and mirth speaks
of John Kendrick Bangs as writer
who has a summer visitors interest
in Maine and who has been selected to
OUR opponents" AS Mr.. Bangs is a
resident of Maine and will vote nero
next Monday as he did at the last cleo
ton. and as he spends 10 months out
of the year at his home in Wells, the
Waterville publication is straying from
the paths of truth in characteristic
fashion when it says that he has only
a summer visitors interest in Maine
affairs. However, this is a matter of
small consequence.
The matter which really disturbs the
organ of mud and mirth is that Mr..
Bangs is so effective in adding to the
gloom which overshadows the Demo
cratic campaign in this State. 1t is
not the wit of this famous author
which worries the Democratic manag-
ers so much as it is his effective style
volved in the present campaign. T'ht
organ OF mud and mirth is especially
srieved because Mr.. Bangs in his Au
gusta speech dwell upon the past of
the Democratic PARTY and arraigned its
long record Of betrayal, iei!iccncy,
laundering and ncgation.
Mr. Bangs might have known that
he coulI never please the Democrats
by referring to the past of their parry.
That, as everybody knows, is touching
then upon q very sore spot. No Dem
ocratic writer or speaker in Maine this
fall has referred to the past of his par
ty They dwell wholly upon the great
things their party will do in the future.
of a party by It's past. The Republican
party is perfectly willing to lie Judged
that way. Mr.. Bangs is the last man
who would willingly give offense 10
anybody. and if the Democrats of
Maine are offended because he touched
upon the ullSavOry record Of their par
ty during the past half hundred years,
that is tie fault of their party and not
anything to lay up against Mr.. Bangs.
Tho Democratic party has made its
own record and try as hard as it will
it cannot get away from it. The
people of Maine are intelligent and
they possess memories and they know
that the record of the Democracy in
Maine and in the country as q whole
from the days of Buo hanan down to
Bryan show that it is party unfit to
govern, a party which tears down but
never builds up. party of shifty OPP
pOrtunisn q party of discreditcd and
rejected issues, and Il party which has
never been true to any trust and is not
even capable of being true to itself

Democratic orators who nave Deeh

down hill because Of prohibition, nave
dug up figures which they maintain
prove their case. AS a matter Of TACT,
figures show that Maine has not only
been growing in wealth during the
time that the prohibitory law has been
in force hut that she has been steadily
overhauling the other New England
states In 1850 Maine was FAR behlhh

the prohibitory law was enacted III
that year 1850, the taxable property IN
the state Of Maine was $40 per

chlsetts $517 That was the way the
four northern New England states
stood at the time Maine adopted
prohibition The per capita wealth OF
Massa chusctts in taxable property
was more than two and a half times
that of Maine.
Now what has happened since then?
The census figures show that Maine

lead of the other states. In 1904 the
taxable wealth per capita in Maine
was s1O5S; in New Hampshire s1159;
in Vermont 1891 and in Massachusetts
it was $3.50 In 1904. the per capita
wealth Of Massachusetts instead OF
being two and a half times that of
Maine was less than fifty per cent.
greater Maine has been catching up
with Massachusetts instead of going
backward as Democratic dctractors
would have us believe.
We are not going to attempt to
show how much of the prosperity of
the State of Maine is due to prohibit

wealth may be attributed to other
causes The figures are quoted be-
cause they demonstrate that it is not
true that Maine is back number
Maine is catching up with her neigh

fact is that she was a long way be-

Free Pulp.

One of the principal demands of the
Democratic party is for free pulp.
They would close down the pulp mills
of Maine, or force a reduction in the
wages of the men who work in them
by admitting Canadian pulp into this
market free of duty. They ignore the
fact that the manufacture of wood
pulp and paper is one of the greatest
industries in our state, and that a
large army of men are earning their
livelihood in it. Why should these
nils and the men they employ be
forced into unrestricted competition
with the mills of Canada? We con-
fess that we fail to see any While
the Democratic Free Trade policy
would undoubtedly help Canada, it
would be at the expense of one of the
great and growing industries of
Maine.
Why should Maine voters assist the
Bryan Democracy in tearing down the
Industries of our state? Why should
they vote to admit free into the
American market the products of for
eign mills and foreign farms?
Is there any good reason for them
to do so:
If so it has not yet been stated in
this campaign.
1t would seem as if it would be bet
ter to hold this great American mar
kettle best in the world-for the
products of our Maine mills and our
Maine farms. Certainly no thought
ful man can fail to appreciate the
fact that in this course alone lies the
road to continued growth and pros
perty.
Bryan and the things he stands for
constitute the REAL ISSUES in this
campaign.
The people of this country are await
ing our verdict, as the verdict of
Maine on the great national issues
now before the people of this country.
A vote for Gardner will be a vote for
Bryan.
