The Two Parties.

The Democratic party, being in the
minority and on the outside, has one
of two courses open to it in it's at
tempt to secure the offices and general
administrative control of things. 1t
can either stand for some progressive
and constructive policies which will
build up the state, advance it's inter
ests and promote the welfare of it's
people as a whole, or it can stand
back and criticise the work of the
party in power, belittling the things
which have been done, abusing those
in public office, msrepresenting the
good results accomplished. and in gen
eral act the wholly negative part of a
kicker and Pathfinder. Is there any
need to emphasize the fact that the
Democratic party in the State and in
the nation as a whole for the last half
century has always been in the latter
attitude? We all know it is so here
in Maine 1t has been SO in the
whole country from the days of
Buchanan down to the days of Bryan
The Republican party from the first
has been a party of achievement. 1t
has gone ahead and done the things
which had to be done; it has been the
party of builders with a positive con-
structive policy of its own, and in this
campaign in State and nation it is
standing squarely on it's record. point
ing to it's past as its greatest glory
and as the best assurance of the work
it will do in the future. In State and
nation the story of the progress made
and the things accomplished of which
We are all proud is the record of the
work of Republican leaders and of the
operation Of Republican policies.

Mr.. Gardeners "Correction."

This slip of paper says that l said
that honestly and sincerely preferred
that rum should be sold on every corner
than to have the hypocrisy that has
come under my observation. l say that
this accusation is untrue. l will tell you
lust what l did say. In conversation
with some gentlemen several years
hence l made the remark that the un-
restricted sale of liquor did no more
damage than the continued violation
of the law of the State, as it had come
under my observation. l ask this au-
thority in all fairness that the next
time they make an accusation that
they ascertain the truth"
TIE above is an extract from the re-
port of Obadiah Gardeners speech at
Winthrop Wednesday evening AS pub
lished in Democratic newspaper.
Just read it through again and see if
you can find where the alleged correc-
ton differs from the original assertion
to which he takes exceptions.
He denies that he said: II honestly
and sincerely prefer that rum should
be sold on every corner than to have
the hypocrisy that has come under my
observation"
But he admits that he said: "The
unrestricted sale of liquor would do no
more damage than the continued VIC
lation of the law Of the State as it has
come under my observation"
Can you find any difference there
Is there any difference between 1.-The
unrestricted sale of liquor" and the
sale of rum on every corner? The
terms are different, but of course the
meaning is absolutely the same, and
in his attempt to deny and explain
Mr.. Gardner simply repeats his earlier
assertion. No wonder his Democratic
managers are bottling him up and
keeping him in the background as much
as possible in these closing days of
campaign.
And this is the same Mr.. Gardner
| who declared in his address before the
State Grange at Augusta in 1906: Il
wish here to go on record as being en-
tirely and unreservedly in favor of the
prohibitory law of Maine" Those
are his words as found in the report
of the state Grange meeting OF 1906.
AS Master of the state Grange less
than two years ago Mr.. Gardner was
"entirely and unreservedly in favor of
the prohibitory law of Maine In the
hands Of Democratic politicians in this

stricted sale of liquor would do no
more damage than the continued

The Vanishing State Debt.

In commenting upon the splendid
years in Maine it has been frequently
stated in this campaign that during the
administration of Governor Cobb the
State debt has been cut down $685., O0O
bringing it down to $70S,000 at the pres
ert time That is a great showing
and one to which the Republican party
matter of fact the showing is actually
better than that. Included in this
total Of SOS. 900 which is given as the
bonded debt of Maine at the present
time, there is no less a sum than $685.
DOC in trust funds, that is, requests
placed in the hands OF the State, the
maintenance of various institutions
such as the College of Agriculture at
OronO and the Maine Insane Hospital
Except for purposes of bookkeeping
this sum of 600 is not really a part
of the debt of Maine. Strictly speak
ing, it is a liability, for Maine must
keep the principle intact and faith
fully devote the income to the pur-
pose specified by the donors.
But it is not part of the debt in
any other sense, and so, as a matter of
fact. the bonds outstanding which
must be gathered in and paid. are only
SAC, 900 instead of sos, 900 as has COM
monty been stated during the cam
paign With debt of only $780, 900 and
| with Il cash balance of over 100000 in
the state treasury this summer,
Names indebtedness is not only near
ing the vanishing point but it is al
| ready practically wiped out. 1t Is
| simply case of gathering in the out
standing bonds as fast as they can be
obtained, and it is certain that large
| part of them will be paid before the
close of the present year
So much for the financial manage
| ment of Names affairs under Republi-
can rule. with the DEBT at the van
ishing point, with over half of the in
dividral towns of the state also free
| from debt, with the cid burden OF
State taxation shifted from the towns
| to the great corporate interests, with
the people of Maine putting an average
of over $5.OO0,0OO yearly in the savings
| banks. with the valuation of the State
| increasing over $25 O00O during the
past two years, Maine seems to be
getting along very comfortably under
Republican rule. Certainly there is
nothing in the financial condition of
| the state or of it's people to warrant a
change for the sake of change.

Toniqht's Rally at City Halls

The citizens of Augusta should re-
member that the great closing rally of
the present campaign for this section
of the State will be held at Augusta
City hall this evening with no less
speaker than United States Senator
Burrows of Michigan as the leading
attraction. With him will be Hon.
Frederick A. Powers of Houlton, for
seven years a member of Names
Supreme Court and a speaker whose
ability is recognized throughout the
cuss the great national issues of the
campaign and Judge Powers to dis
cuss the more purely home matters
involved, there will be combination
of convincing eloquence and argument
which will splendidly supplement the
great Republican rally held in the
same place a week ago.
The close of the campaign is now
at hand and next Monday will be the
day for the work to be done at the
polls. Let our people turn out In
large numbers and hear these eminent
gentlemen They can be counted up
on to throw light upon the problems
which puzzle the minds of many of
our honest and intelligent voters and
to help them understand the present
political situation. At the opening
rally a week ago the great hall was
filled to its capacity and better
audience never assembled at a
political rally in this State There is
every reason to believe that this even
ing's rally will be as large and as
enthusiastic as was the earlier one
Plan to be there, for it is certain that
you will be amply repaid.

who is touring the State with Mr.
Fernald says that the Republican can
didate for Governor has not yet made
public appearance where he has not
made votes. This is evident to the
experienced eye. The people like the

the State itself and his faith in the
people thereof. He has made probably
over 60 speeches thus far in the cam
paign. and in not one of them has he
uttered word derogatory of the
State over whose destinies he will be
called to preside. not yet an unkind
word about any citizen thereof,
whether that citizen be candidate
against the Republican ticket, or a
person laborine for the success of his
opponents. With Mr.. Fernald the

The Democratic party, on the other
hand, by its history and traditions or
the more than half century since II
tried to wreck the Union. has been the
PARTY of destruction and of negation.
It has been the party of betrayal and
of inefficiency; the party which has
tried to tear down instead of building
up; the party of carping and hypo-
critical criticism instead of active,
helpful, constructive work. Once in
the past half century the Democratic
party has been in control OF national
affairs and then it basely deserted Its
leader and showed that it could not
even be true to itself. OF course, it
is impossible for such party to be
true to the country as whole.
This comparison is based on the
actual facts of history and is not
meant at all in disparagement OF In
dividual Democrats who through fam
ily traditions or individual environ
credited Democracy. There is nothing
for them to be proud of in the history
of their party In fact, if the history
of the Democracy is referred to as we
have briefly touched upon it here. the
writer is accused of abusing it; for
the Democracy tries to get away from
its past, or as it has been said, while
the Republican party stands upon its
record the Democratic party spends
it's time in running away from Its
record This difference between the
parties is fundamental. We ask
Young voters to consider these things
and settle with their own conscience
upon which side they prefer to stand.

The Sheriff Of Waldo.


The Republican candidate for sheriff
of Waldo county can appeal to the
voters on his record as an officer, as
Il man and as a citizen. He is known
al over the state as a faithful, ener-
gttic and incorruptible official. 1t is
for the interest of every honest, law
abiding citizen of Waldo county that
such Il man should be retained In Of
flee. If you do not know the record
of the opposing candidate, ask your
neighbor about it. Perhaps you have
heard him on the stump, and II so
that should convince you of his UNIT
ness to hold any office within the gift
Of the people. A man is known by
the company he keeps and every ex-
rumseller in Waldo county and those
who want to sell rum and feel that
they could safely do so in case of his
election, are doing all in their power
to ensure that result Rum and rum
money will be used without stint to
corrupt voters, but that will avail only
with the ignorant and depraved and
cannot influence the God fearing. self
respecting, law-abiding people OF
Waldo county. and their votes and
their influence will help to avert what
would be lasting disgrace.

Well the Democratic authorities will
have to settle this row among them
selves Editor Pattangall said in his
address at Augusta City hall this
eek that Gardner represents in our
State what Bryan represents in the
nation That supports the Republican
contention that vote for Gardner will
he vote for Bryan, proposition that
the Democratic leaders in Maine have
hitherto been desperately trying to
Dodge Now that Editor Pattangall
has confessed the truth the Argus
man is in a hopeless minority. He
doesn't really know anything about
the matter anyway, for the Waterville
gentleman is the mouthpiece of the
ring which led Gardner forth for the
sacrifice and he wrote the platform
upon which Gardner is running.

fer himself, as his readers well know,
but he knows that there is limit
somewhere, and plainly he is convinced
that it has been reached in this In
stance Consequently he made the
confession in his Augusta address
which so startled those hearers who
had imagined that in some mysteri-
Gus way they could vote for Gardner
without having the influence of their
vote count for Bryan. They cannot
vote that way. Every vote for Card
ner will be vote for Bryan. The
former represents in Maine what the
latter represents in the nation. Mr..
