of the reasons why the people of that
State should vote for him. BY plu-
rality OF s,732 the people OF Maine re-
jected Fernald and Roosevelt and all
their works. The Herald prints inter-
views with many prominent men who
have been trying to explain the cause
of the overturn in Maine and their
opinion is that Mr.. Roosevelts as
sumption of bosship and advocacy O.
the New Nationalsm' caused the
Maine result" This view will spread
, over the country and explain the other
wise unexplainable situation.
The Times says of Roosevelt's part
in the Republican catastrophe, che
has not merely divided the Republican
party and broken and destroyed Its
organization and discipline. he has tc

party can save itself, except by tbs
surrender of the Democratic voters oil
the country to the passions of the
hour. There is no hope as the Times
says, "of Democratic rehabilitation ant
victory in following the principles q

Nationalism,' or In further dalliance
with the kindred and practically iden

hope of the Democratic party is in the

NAT GETS IN WRONG, AGAIN.

NAT GETS IN WRONG, AGAIN.
Nat Wrights newspaper, the cleve-
land Leader has some very FUNNY
notions about politics. 1t admits that
the Republicans got terrible thrash
ing in Maine and has reached the con-
olusion that the only way the Repub
lican party can be saved is by "un-
mistakable and thorough-g going pro-
gressivencss" But Nat seems to have
that the Republicans in Maine were
not licked by the so-called Progress
Gratis. who believe in the Constitution
and follow in the straight and narrow
path the fathers trod. After awhile,
say in thousand years or so. Nat
and other advanced thinkers will find
that the Constitution was made for
all classes and conditions Of men ana
for all time. There is wonderful lot
of encouragement in the thought thar
tho Democrats won the vlctor;. IN
Maine because they stuck to the old
ways. These "Ten Commandments" of
the American people will not bulge.
and stealing of the sort Nat wright.s
party has been doing ali these vears

we infer from this statement: THE
Tribune afTirms that he mas no political

Boston contemporary will admit that
the Tribune has rather hard row to

can. IT might be different il White

is simply leftover. manifestly it
would he too much to expect his great
newspaper to unnecessarily antagonize
