Victory In SIGHT.

Last words are now being spoken
and on the Republican side these are
words of confidence and cheer
Republicans have completed their
conclusively show that. on Monday,
Governor Fernaid will be reelected
with an increased plurality and that
a majority of the next Legislature will
Zoe Republican.
All is not rose color. however In at
least two cities where the pro liquor
sentiment is strong there are Republi-
can weak spots.
Governor Fernald has now completed
his strenuous labors of the campaign
and is in better physical shape than he
was two years ago when. new to cam
paigning he lost is pounds in weight
He is tired but, after one nights good
sleep. he will be in the pink of condi-
ton. Governor Fernald. in this cam
paign. has met more voters and been
received everywhere with greater ova-
tions and warmer enthusiasm than was
the case two years ago. He himself
says. "If one can form an estimate

In review, We may comment that up
to the magnificent State convention in
June Republicans seemed apathetic.
The convention re-awakened political
feeling and the unfair attitude of Dem
ocracy aroused widespread Indignation
over the State.
Democratic leaders made mistake.
as they now see and confess, in at
tempting too extended campaign
Republicans have made shorter
sharper fight with better results.
Democratic leaders also made d mis-
take in firing their blank cartridges of
humbuggery 100 soon. as they gave
their opponents abundant opportunity
to make reply and expose the utter
lack of basis of Democratic charges

And we might just as we'll fight out

the real issue. Republicans as a party
are opposed to license"

is deceptive as to their numbers. Re
publicans will STAY them and count
their hind legs on Monday and the re-
suit will surprise greatly the Boston
press.
Republicans will win but that victory
may produce the best results and cheer
President Taft and Republicans of the
Union to greater efforts for the welfare
of the people by strengthening the
Presidents hands and sending Repub.
licans to Congress. every Maine Re-
publican should vote on Monday and
make the Republican plurality a figure
like those of the old times and really

vocated by the President the only Sc.


vocated by the President the only Sc,
sible tariff policy. the only solution q,
the difficulties with which Democrats
as well as Republicans have hereto
fore contended in framing tariff laws.
The Democrats have been expressing
great admiration for the ex-President' S
frankness 1t is not to be expected
that they will in this case express
whatever of admiration they may feel
The trenchant words in which the
speaker declared his views will go far
toward clearing the air of Democratic
tariff soap bubbles. There is refresh
ing contrast between his comments
and the criticisms Of those Democrats
who voted in Congress for the highest
duty possible on all products in which
their constituents produce and then
seeing that the bill would be passed
by Republicans who would have
to assume the responsibility
against the bill and proceeded to de-
nounce the law.
1t is indeed worthy of comment. this
striking and characteristic contrast
between the Republican and the Demo-
cratic parties. the party that does
things and the party that criticizes
things. Since the day on which Grover
Cleveland looked with infinite disgust
on the tariff framed by Democratic
Congress, a law which violated every
tariff reform pledge Democracy had
made to the people and which wrought
the downfall of that party. the Demo-
Gratis of this country have suggested
no practicable method for treating the
tariff. Instead they have resorted to
the old shibboleths. the same catch
phrases as fooled the people into en-
trusting them with power which they
betrayed.
We are speaking of the Democratic
party as party, and with no refec-
ton upon the character or intelligence
of individuals of that party. when we
express the belief that the Democrat
ic party is absolutely incapable by
reason of its tenets and it's inchoate
condition to frame a tariff law at all
comparable with the present one.
which has already demonstrated in
practice that is the best which
has yet been framed. Nor has
the Democratic party conceived any
practicable method by which it may
be improved upon, whereas that is
precisely what the Republican party
has done.
And so we return to consideration of
the striking contrast between the party
OF efficiency and the party of ineffi-
cheney. Any young man uncertain Of
his choice between parties can do no
better than turn back to the records
of the Democratic party when last it
had the President and control of both
branches of Congress and compare re-
suits with these obtained by the Re-
publican party in it's last session Of
Congress.
Inefficiency is not attractive to the
young voter any more than to the old
er man. True. novelty has it's charms
for the youth, but we have faith that
the great majority will ask more of
the political party to which they yield
support than simply that hungry. des
