belfast Journal.)

The Belfast Journal presents to it's
readers in this issue an article from
the Lewiston Journal upon the notable
showing which Hon. Edwin c. Burleigh
has made as the Chief Executive of
our state and as the Representative of
this District in Congress. 1t is n
showing that is in every way credit
able to him, and which cannot be sur
passed by that of any other member
of the National House.
1t is the strongest possible proof of
the great influence which he exerts in
the National Councils in Washington,
and which has made it possible for him
to look so Well after the interests of
his District. The plain statement Of
the great work he has done at Wash
ington for his constituents of the Third
Maine District is all that is necessary
to give the lie to those political oppo-
nents who have sought to blind the
people to the facts by pursuing him
with falsehood and disparagement.
A man who is so well known to the
people Of Maine, and who has behind
him such splendid record of political
achievement in public life, is not to be
reached by methods like these The
voters of this district are too intelli-
gent to be reached by them.
The people Of Belfast are specially
indebted to Congressman Burleigh for
the appropriation of $4,000. which he
secured at the last session of Congress
for the enlargement of our public
building. In his Congressional work

The Journal hopes that the audience

not merely to arouse the righteous but
also to call the sinners to repentance,

The cheap filings which have been
made at Congressman Burleigh on the
ground. mainly, that he is not a public
speaker, have become pretty tire
some That a public official is not
necessarily useless because he is not a
Hueht platform orator is splenddly
illustrated in an article which APP
peared in last Saturdays Lewiston
Journal. and which is reprinted in
this issue of The American.
The article gives a resume of the
specially noteworthy results which
have been brought about by Mr. Bur
leigh during the years he served
the people of his state in the guber
material office, and since he has rep
resented this district in Congress.
We hope all who get The American
this week will give this article a read
ing. They will find that Gov. Bur-
leigh has always been man who has
stood for the best in private and pub
lie life. 1t was he who led off in the
6rst ~rcat movement for tax reform
in Maine, accomplishing in this great
cause some far-reaching results which
the people Of our state will always
recall to his honor. This, however,
WAS only one Of many movements
which he has led for progress and
civic betttrment.
The record of what he has accom-
plished since he has been a member
of Congress speaks for itself 1t is
one Of which his State and his district
may we'll feel proud. The record Is
one IF notable results. such as very
few men who have served in the Ma
tional House can point to. 1t is a mat
Ger of record that where the interests
of his State and district have been
concerned Gov. Burleigh has spoken
directly to the point and effectively.
No man in Congress has been more
successful in securing favorable COM
mittee reports on the matters in
which his constituents have been
interested. and none has surpassed
him in the ability to organize victory
on the floor of the House.
Ellsworth people have a very kindly
feeling toward Congressman Burlefgh,
fer they do not forget that at the very
last session of Congress he had re-
ported from his committee an appro-
priation Of $4,000 for the enlargement
of the custom-house and pnstoffice
building, preliminary to giving the
city free delivery service. He has

by degenerateS, who spend most of
their time chasing bootleggers around
lumber piles and into outhouSes for
the sake of surreptitiously getting a
drink of poor whiskey. Her people are
misgoverned, and have not the spirit
to resent it. Her public men are
rogues unless they are engaged in the

The Work of State Auditor Hatch.

In the early days of the campaign,
| mention Of a gentleman named Hatch.
| those who We're disposed to give the
Democracy the benefit of the doubt
said that the orators had probably
| overlooked the excellent work Of
Names first State Auditor
But as the campaign has Worn on and
| there is still no Democratic mention of
| Mr.. Hatch, even the folks who We're
disposed to give the Democracy the
to admit that the silence on this point
is not accidental.
AS a matter of fact, it is not. It is
intentional, very intentional indeed! If
the Democracy is right in it's contention
that the affairs of State are sadly mis-
managed under Republican rule. then
Mr. Hatch is not the keen man of bust
ness that we have thought him. But
since the Democratic press praised Mr.
AAotNll uhStIillcdly az lIlc Time Iic SdlIc
into Office and began to get busy, De-
mocracy knows that it cannot very we'll
critioise the State auditor for campaign
purposes.
Therefore, the Democracy is ignoring
Mr.. Hatch. 1t is saying nothing against
his administration of an important Of
flee for a double reason, one-half of
which is that it can't and the other half
is that it praised his work before the
Democratic spell binders elected to line
up on a campaign against Republican
Encouragement.
The voter who is inclined to think
things over will do well to study the
Democracy's cry of official mismanage-
nent in connection with the Demoora-
cy's silence in regard to Mr.. Hatch's
work as State auditor. The two are
very closely related. The Democracy
very we'll knows that it cannot MAIN
tain a campaign against Republican
management of State affairs and stand
by it's praise of Mr.. Hatch, which was
honestly bestowed in moment CT ac-
cidental candor. And in that situation
what does the Democracy doo-Why, it
fOrgets its burst of honest cornmenda-
ton, of course, and proceeds with its
denunciation of Republican manage
ment!
But the man who isn't tied to either
party and wishes to vote inteiligently
will not allow the Democracy to de-
ceive him. If he is interested enough
to look up the record of Mr.. Hatch, he
Will find that he is not new to the hand
ling of large affairs and that whereso-
ever he has been placed he has always
made good. He was a national bank
examiner when the International Paper
Company made him one of it's head

York and supervision of millions Of dol

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT
The Vermont Result.

| cortland Press
| The result of the Vermont election
is cheering to the Republicans and
CORRESPONDENCE depressing to the
| Democrats, for it is an unerring sign
Of Republican victory in November. 1t
| has long been a settled belief that
the Vermont election in September in
the size OF the Republican plurality
reflected the state of the public mind
| throughout the country. that $4,000
was the pivotal number and that
plurality above that number indicated
the election of a Republican Presi-
dent, while less than $4,000 indicated
Democratic triumph. The sign has
come true in the last seven or eight
Presidential elections, and the coinci-
dence is so marked as to have been
accepted almost as an infallible rule.
In that sign then the Republicans
conquer, for their plurality is way
above the critical number. Both par
ties polled a reduced vote as compared
with 1904, which is not surprising in
view of the absence of exciting local
issues TO bring out the vote. The Re-
publican falling off is reported at
about six per cent. and the Democratic
three per cent. Whether this relative
loss is due to local conditions or re-
fleets in any manner or degree gen.
eral conditions, may be a matter OF
opinion, but Republicans have reason
to be content with the showing. Be-
fore the election they We're claiming
10000 plurality The figures fall a
little short of that, but they are high
enough above the $4,000 mark to make
the chances of Mr.. Taft look bright.
The Democrats, on the other hand,
claimed that they would reduce the
plurality to 10000. The outcome
shows that the Republican managers
We're the better judges. 1t is of inter-
est at this time to set down for COM
parison the Republican pluralities in
the Vermont September elections in
presidential years since 1876:
