Obadiah's Swing.
portland Advertiser

Swing me just little higher, Oba-
diah, do
Swing me just little higher and I'll
love you;
Tic me on and I'll never fall
Swing me over the garden wall,
Just a little higher Obadiah, do"
This is the chorus of the song which
the band played at Bangor After
wards Mr.. Gardner who had just been
nominated for Goveror by the Maine
Democrats made a speech. In it he
declared that he believed in the in
tclligcnce of the people of the State of
Maine. 1t was we'll that he expressed
this belief for he had previously stated
in effect that for many years the ar-
fairs Of the State have been admins
tered improperly and extravagantly,
condition of things which certainly,
did it indeed exist, would not seem to
speak volumes for the intelligence of
the people. But Brother Gardner in
his Oratorial effort swung them higher
and higher. His first flight began in
the reign of Augustus and ended in the
reign of Constantine. He took another
flight in the days of human slavery
and then he flew about in various di-
rections hunting for present day issues
But here it is notable that his flights
resulted only in the digging up of cam
paign cries on which the Democrats
have gone before the intelligent people
of the state of Maine number of
times without success. Indeed, Mr.
Gardner is so hard pushed for issues
that he tried to make one of the orls-
sion from the Republican platform OF
allusion to the initiative and refer
cndum. InaSmuch as a Republican
legislature has already submitted that
question to the people it can hardly be
classed as an issue in the present cam
paign. but of course it may serve the
purposes of an orator who is cndea-
vorinS to swing his hearers higher and
higher. OratOrial flights in the effort
to carry the audience to higher and
higher heights are apt to lead to incon-
SiStencicS. Mr.. Gardner declares that
he believes in law and its enforcement,
but proposition to give the Governor
authority to remove officers who dc
not do their duty in enforcing the law
he declares to be entirely objectionable
And the oratorical swing sometimes
''h'S Lily VI iloI ollt way While Ms
hearers are swinging the other. Mr.
Gardner says he is temperance man
From this it is to be inferred that ir
favoring reSubmssion he does so il
the hope that the prohhitory amend.
ment would be rcaffirmed. His hearers
do not want it for any such purpose
Mr.. Gardeners flights are interesting
if inconsistent and we hope that he
will keep on swinging. Taking tbs
cue from the band and dropping into
verse. it must thus be expressed:
Swing them just a little higher, Oba
diah, do;
Make the summer gleeful in the swing
with you.
Do not look ahead at all:
They're going to have terrible fall
And so will Brother Obadiah. too.

[ do warn you that these are crucial

The rights Of the common people

They have fought from the ranks in
times Of battle. They have paid
with their toll the exactions of the
government in times of peace.
Therefore, my countrymen, I would
conjure you by your love for this
our common country, by your rever-
ence for the memories Of the fathers
who established it, whose lives de-
Tended and whose ashes are now COM
mingling in its responsive soil; by
your hope and faith in it's future, as
it shall become the home Of our chill

1Offings from The EIbertOn MeetinQ

The Elberton meeting on August
10 was in every respect a highly sat-
.lsfactory gathering of representative
citizens of the town and vicinity.
The people turned out to hear Hon.
Thos. E. Watson's presentation of vi
tai issues and gave him thoughtful
and sympathetic hearing. Mr.. Geo.
c. Grogan introduced the speaker in
an address fraught with deep earnest
ness and patriotism. He said, in
part:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Fellow
Georgians:
For the first time in my life I I'M
dertake to offer political counsel to
my fellow countrymen.- Content in
my professional life, the political field
has never been attractive to me and
have never sought to impose my po-
litical views upon my fellow citizens.
Nevertheless, [ have keenly watched
the stage whereon the political game
was being played, until the conviction
has grown upon me that my silence
need not longer be kept
Party fealty is worthy and patriot
ic so long as the principles, objects

bbe Jeffersonian

and activities of that party are wor-
thy and patriotic.
Beyond this, party fealty is blind
idolatry, generating and accumulat-
ing corruption and will consummate
in the civil and moral death Of the
Republic.
Personal loyalty to political leaders
those political leaders plant them
selves immovably upon righteous gov
ernmental policies and personify and
illustrate in their daily lives those in
tellectual and moral powers that can
establish, defend and maintain such
righteous policies.
Beyond this, loyalty to leaders is
political fetch, a temporizing with
the duty of the citizen and contemp-
tible surrender Of American man
hood.
The individual citizen is the civic
unit Of the Republic. Than he, save
the God who made him, none is great
er. His intelligent, patriotic and I'M
purchasable ballot is the sword of his
civic power and the shield of his
country's liberty.
