A Ridiculous Claim.

Throughout Kennebec County is be-
ing circulated a card or circular bear
ing the features of Mr.. Leon o. Teb-
belts, register of deeds, and an appeal
to the voters that has humorous and
other characteristics.
The striking difference in the follow
ing parallel paragraphs. is the fact
that the Journal first gave the reason
for the large total of the threeyear
period, while in the other Mr.. Tebbetts
has appropriated the credit to himself,
after leaving out the Journals intro
duction. Further down he introduced
'the past three years" to make the
sense complete.

Editorial Comment.
Where's the Ghost?
independent RepOrter.)

It's a cute game they are playing.
In the Democratic platform is very
innocent little paragraph which has
to do with the resubmitting to the
prohibitory amendment to the people.
1t is a silent plank; it is evidently
not the paramount issue in this
campaign. With the Democrats the
paramount issue now is 'State ex-
travagance" But it is blind. Mr..
,Plaisted, the democratic candidate for
governor. knows as we'll as any man.
else he is more lacking in brains than
we are led to believe,-that this state
is being run as economically as 1t is
possible to run any state of it's size;
he knows that there is no grating;
he knows that for the most part the
office-holders are pretty decent kind of
fellows; he knows all these things. but
what of it? He is in a campaign to
win and according to precedent which
he and Patangall established this year
he is not to be renominated two years
hence.
, If resubmission was good campaign
issue two years ago; if it was good
campaign four years ago when Mr..
Davis harped about honesty" and the
.smoral issues why is it not a good
campaign issue to-day?
If the Republican party failed to en-
force the prohibitory law two and
four years ago. are the Democrats
willing to admit. by sloughing off
this issue of enforcement and result
mission. that they have done we'll
since?
1t is certainly very pretty game
which the Democratic party is playing
with the people. 1t remains to be seen
however whether the electorate of
Maine are the "Rubes" for which the
Democratic party takes them. or good
citizens of good memories and good

This sort of conversation smacks of

voter knows that his town gets back
from the State $2365o more than China
pays for it's State tax.
Thanks to the system of education

of their tax money. He gets under

this tax money with which to educate
his children ami build roads and in 9TH
