An "Awakener."

1t is interesting and instructive
to observe the effect that the appear
ance of Judson Harmon on the scene
produces on troubled communities in
Ohio. Public officers who plead
helplessness before he directs his at
tention to their affairs suddenly find
themselves endowed with power. au-
thority that has seemed to be forgot
ten is asserted. things long neglected
are speedily accomplished. Governor
Harmon is a wonderful awakener.-
New York Sun.
And what this Democratic Governor
is in Ohio Democratic Governor Plais-
ted will be in Maine. if the people of
this State call him to that post An
awakener in the gubernatorial office
is precisely what Maine State official
dom needs. 1t has been under the
somnolent spell of Republican DOM
nation long enough 1t is time to
wake it up. and to have things neg
lected speedily accomplished The
best thing the people can do for the
state of Maine this year. is to elect
Frederick w Plaisted Governor. He
would prove. like Democratic Gov
ernOr Harmon of Ohio. "a wonderful
akener."-Portland Argus
Yes. Republican leaders are arguing
that he would prove an "awakener."
and they are trying to save their
friends from such an awakening
Sorry the day when the people of
Maine should awake to the reality of
a Democratic administration.
1t seems that the candidate had
planned to begin the cutting down of
the States legitimate expenses by the
calling of a special election. Of
course it would cost nothing and the
time of the voters is of no value-ac-
cording to the Democratic idea.
We are sorry to jolt his under
standing of public affairs by calling
attention to the impossibilty of his
proposed course.
If the voters should awaken to the
fact that they had allowed to be elect
ed government pledged to the liquor
interests. to install legalized rum
shops in every city possible. it would
be sorry awakening for a majority
of the voters of Maine and sorrer
one for their wives and children.
Yes. indeed. the head of the Demo-
cratic ticket is an awakener and he
is backed and sustained and urged to
the front by galaxy of awakeners.
We believe the people of Maine are
already awakening to realization of
the intent of the Democratic party
which is making the most desperate
fight of it's history in Maine, backed
by the dollars of the most vicious
trust of them all-the hydra headed
monster whose tentacles embrace the
earth and whose blood is drawn from
the youth of every nation-the Rum
Trust

The Colonevs Bad Break,

That genial and companionable gen
tleman. our fellow citizen. of whom we
are all personally fond. and whom we
wish well. the Democratic candidate for
governor. in his second letter of ac-
ceptance made a grievous error. He
made this statement:
II desire 10 take the liquor question
out of state politics and permit the
people of Maine to settle it at special
election for that purpose, and that pur-
pose alone uncontused by any other
question"
This statement shows the lack of
knowledge of the laws of the State of
Maine in the candidate for governor
put up by our friends. the Democrats.
Go -ernor Fernald with his broad
knowledge of State laws and matters
would never be guilty of making such
a declaration in letter of acceptance
or in any other place. 1t would be ut
terly impossible for the Democratic
candidate for governor. no matter how
much he desired so to do. Ito take the
liquor question out of State politics and
permit the people of Maine to settle it
at special election

This is sample of some of the
lack of practical business knowledge
displayed in this second letter of &C
ceptance of the most personally esti-
mable candidate of the Democrats for
governor.

many reasons undesirable as a COVER
