Bryan's Gratifica
portland PreSs.)

(POrtland PreSS.)
1t has been asserted by the Demo-
cratic leaders in Maine over and over
again. until worn threadbare by repe
titiOn that a vote for Gardner was not
vote for Bryan but simply vote
for Gardner and the paramount issue
of resubmission. They have empha-
sized as hard as words would do 1t
their contention that the election was
solely on local issues and had no
bearing whatever on the national
election. On this ground the Demo-
cratic speakers and press have ap-
pealed for the support of resubmls-
sionist Republicans. Nevertheless 1T
is noticeable that Mr. Bryan is quick
to file his claim to whatever he con-
ceives to be to his personal favor IN
the Maine result He telegraphs con-
gratulations to National Committee
man Jones. and says he is very much
gratified at the returns from Maine,
that they indicate that the trend to-
wards the Democratic party extends
over the whole country and encour-
age Democrats to believe that victory
in November is certain. AT the same
time Committeeman Jones promptly
wired Chairman Mack that 1t was
great victory for the people linn
people" in Democratic nomenc 'ature
being synonymous with democrats,
while all others are not people out
Republicans and miscellaneous. ANA
Chairman Mack is also highly grained
and considers that the returns indicate
that the sentiment of the people is
thoroughly aroused for the cause of
Democracy" and CLEARLY forecasts
what will be the outcome in other
states" and he adds that he is more
confident than ever that Mr.. Bryan
will be elected"
But Of course Messrs, Bryan and
Mack are way off and nursing VAIN de-
lusiOns For have we not been as
sured to this effect by the Argus with
in a few days? And has not the
Waterville Sentinel been particularly
sensitive on this point? state issues
have the call" said the Argus the
other day, above all the issue of re-
submission Mr.. Taft realizes this,
and he assures Republicans every
where that the result of the vote on
these State issues will have no ma
tional bearing" And again: They
(the voters) are not thinking just now
about who will be elected in Novem-
Der, but who will be elected right here
at home in September, and what policy
in the conduct of State and local
affairs the elected will represent.
All this rather takes the edge off
Mr.. Bryan's qualification and cuts the
ground from any local Democratic
claim that the result has any national
significance.

denomination of Gov. Hughes.

TIL" state of New York in general
are to be congratulated upon the re-
nomination of Governor Hughes at the
Saratoga convention this week. His
triumphant nomination upon the first
ballot in spite of the aggressive, not to
say bitter, opposition which he en-
countered flom certain sources, is not
merely personal victory for an honest
and efficient executive but it is also
a great victory for the people of the
Empire state.
Governor Hughes of New York is one
of the country's great men and his
nomination by the New York Republi-
cans not only puts that state safely in
the Republican column in November,
but it also does much to strengthen
the Republican cause throughout the
country. 1t would have been an in
consistent course indeed for the New
York Republicans to have gone before
Hughes splendid record without
| Hughes at the head of the ticket. Such
| a course would not only have endan-
| gered the state ticket. but also the ma
| tionai cause in New York All the
| logic of the situation called for the re-
| nomination of Governor Hughes, as
| President Roosevelt in his capacity as
| a citizen of New York pointed out
| few days before the convention. The
| masses of the people wanted him re-
nominated and the great moral forces
of the state demanded it in no uncer-
tain tones. Those who We're opposed
to his denomination We're unable TO
find any strong candidate to present,
and. in fact, were unable to agree upon
ANYBODY. and when convention day
finally came this opposition cut but d
sorry figure.
The triumph of Governor Hughes is
all the greater because he left the mat
ter entirely to public opinion. No
battery was used TO secure tIle support
of delegates. He assumed that the
people knew what they wanted and he
knew that they would act as they
chose. They knew his principles ana
his record, and they approved of both.
The rise of Governor Hughes from an
honest and energetic but practically
unknown lawyer to his present position
of prominence has been rapid, and Is
most encouraging symptom in Amerl-
can politics. In 1906 he saved the state
of New York from the blight OF Hearst
and with his denomination he erects
an impossible barrier in that state
against any advance of Bryanlsm. HIS
denomination on the first ballot at the
Saratoga convention closes one OF the
most remarka BILE incidents in Ameri-
can politics.

Cannot ESCAPE His Record.

Plainly William j. Bryan has been
made very uncomfortable by the chal
lcnge of Judge Taft that he tell the
people of the country where he stands
today upon some of the issues which he
So often exploited in the past. The
challenge has caused the usually serene
and smiling Mr.. Bryan to lose his tenn
per and to indulge in a peppery out
burst which cannot fail to injure him.
And yet nobody will deny that Mr.
Bryan's past record is one of the i'm
portant issues of the present national
campaign. The whole country knows
where Mr.. Taft stands, but they do
not know where Mr. Bryan stands.
There is no part of Mr.. Taft's record
that he is running away from or about
which he has anything to conceal at
this time. He stands upon the whole
OF that record and it is the best guar
antee of his policy if he is elected Pres
ident.
But the whole country knows that
fer the past dozen years Mr. Bryan has
stood for such a variety of unsound
and unsafe principles that he has twice
been rejected for the presidency by the
largest pluralities known in American
political history. TO be surey some of
his present sponsors declare that Bry-
an has ''outgrown' his earlier financial
and economical absurdities, but Mr..
Bryan himself has never said so. THESE
earlier quackeries We're his leading is
sues in two great presidential cam
paSns and every citizen has right to
ing them. II was, no doubt, exceeding
~ annoying to him to have Mr.. Taft
Inc ntion the subject and it places him
in d most embarrassing position, but
his loss Of temper only makes bad
matter worse.
This demand as to where the peerless
leader does stand on his past record
has nettled the perpetual candidate
into anger but not into answering the
plain and direct question. And it is
precisely because it is impossible for
any citizen to say today where Mr. Bry
an vii. stand next year on the very is
sues he is now advocating, that he is
such an unsafe to consider for the
presidency. The Industries of this
country show some signs of recovery,
at present, from the past six months
of dulness, and most business men are
gratificd at the improvement; but what
Justification can that be for any man
to vote for a candidate whose election
than the panic of last fall?

Mr.. Taft celebrated his 51st birth
day Tuesday. He is still a young
man, as statesmen CO. but If he Is
among the younger of our Presidents
at the time of taking office. He is a
year older than Mr. Roosevelt is after
seven years and more in the White
House: older, too, than Polk, Fillmore,

were. Perhaps the early fifties might
be called about the average age of
