The Cleveland Article,

The Kennebec Journal has, SO far
neglected to inform it's readers that
the Cleveland letter, recommending Mr.
Taft for the Presidency. was nothing
lat a cheap forgery. We presume that
it will do so later on.-Waterville Sen
tinei.
Certainly the Journal has told its
readers nothing of the kind for the
simple reason that such Il statement
letter that has 50 agitated the Demo-
cratic leaders in this campaign by
showing that the late eX-President had
no sympathy with Bryan or Organism
is not a forgery. 1t is a genuine lro-
duction of Mr.. Cleveland's. The literary
agent who sold the article to the New
York Times, with the consent If the
executor of Mr.. Cleveland's estate and
of Mrs. Clcveland-a gentleman ri char
actcr and stan1ing-has stated clearly
ami fully the circumstances under
which the article was written By Mr..
Cleveland and every fact connected
with it's sale to the New York Times,
which still holds the typewriter copy
ltaring Mr.. Cleveland's own signature.
These statements have yet to be contro-
troverted. Up to the present time not
duced to show that the statements of
TIE literary agent who personally
solicited the writing of the article by
Mr. Cleveland, and who sold IT to the
| New York Times are not absolutely
correct in every detail
The New York Times has asked
Kern, who has publicly questioned
tie authenticity of this article,
| to produce his evidence that it
Il, not, precisely what it has been stated
to bc-thc last article ever given to
the public by the late Grover Cleveland
| If Mr.. Kern has any proofs to back lis
| statements about this article it is now
| up to him to produce them. If he adj
mltS that he naSn any ana lltdl MS
talk was made without anything t
| back it, he will clearly demonstrate t.
| tie American people his total unttness
to hold any position of public trust and
responsibility.
1t is very easy to say that any pub
| liShed article is a forgery-cSpeclally
when it becomes troublesome in a pclit-
ical camp aign-but the fact remains
that saying so does not make it SO.

A Maine Man in OREGON.

Although the fact has not been gen.
orally commented upon by Maine news
papers it appears that when Oregon
held it's state election last summer one
Of the two congressman elected from
that state Isl native of Maine. He is
d Republican, of course, for Oregon,
like Maine. has the good habit Of being
represented at Washington by Repub
lican congressman. His name is
Charles A. Barrett and his home is in
Athena. Mr. Barrett is a native Of
Sumner ever in oxford county and at
tended the common schools 81 that
town in his boyhood. AS a young man
he went West and engaged in merchan-
tile business and the hardware store at
Athena Of which he is now the chief
owner is one of the largest stores of its
kind on the whole Pacific coast
For three years he has held the Office
Of mayor of Athena but with that eX-
ceptior he has had little experience in
politics except as loyal worker at
each election for the Republican cause
His nomination for Congress Was by
acclarnation and he was elected by the
largest majority ever given a candidate
for Congress in Oregon. Mr.. Barrett is
man in the prime of life, energetic,
clear healed, with clean record in
business and politics, and will no doubt
make his mark in Washington, where
bis career will be watched with special
interest by the people of his native
State.
His election is reminder OF the fact
that the iirSt man who ever Went to
Congress from Oregon when thai state
came into the Union just half century
ago, was a native of Maine. This was

Democrats Who Are For Taft.

There is no lack this year Of Demo-
Gratis who are not afraid to express
freely their determination to support
the Republican presidential ticket.
Down in Baltimore. prominent bust
ness men who have always been
identified with the Democratic party
have framed Il Taft Democratic
League and the organization is playing
an active part in the campaign in that
that State Richmond business men
who have always been Democrats
have formed similar organiza-
ton, but few people expect them to
swing the Old Dominion out of the
Democratic column this year. In
Maryland, however. the situation is
wholly different and the anti Bryan
Democrats there are going to hold a
big mass meeting in the near future in
behalf of Taft's candidacy, at which all
of the speakers will be prominent
Democrats.
III II 10 Ilpl'd eiit' 'i''
OF the prominent Democrats,
Ferdinand Strauss. named by his party
as a candidate for Presidential elector,
has declined the honor for the good
and sufficient reason that he is sup
porting Taft instead of Bryan in this
campaign. In New York. among
others John f. Dos Passos. a promi-
