Editorial Comment.
REPUBLICANS CONFIDENT.
Nhat a Well Known Citizen Says OF
Maine Situation.
lPnrtland Expressly

portland EXpress)
Today reporter of the Express
Advertiser met a prominent man, who
was formerly member of the Re-
publican State committee and one of
the best informed men in Maine upon
| political matters. Asked by the re-
porter what he thought of the out
look for the campaign this gentleman
said: I'm the first place l will say that
l have never seen such a change in
| sentiment as has come in the last
month. Four weeks ago many people
seemed to think the Republican party
| was about ready to go out of business.
Today the Republicans are all conf
dent of victory, and the Independent
vote, which is now considerable in
| this State, is turning to the Republi-
cans. / do not guess at this matter.
but | know that Gov. Fernald is gain
ing in every part Of the State. am
always conservative in my political
predictions, and, if l were asked what
plurality Gov. Fernald will receive l
should say 10000, but / shall not be at
all surprised if the Republicans score
an old fashioned victory. The way the
people are talking reminds me of the
| manner in which the Democrats left
| the Democratic ship during the first
Bryan campaign"
ASKED as to what cause or causes he
attributed this change in sentiment the
gentleman said: The voters are as
pertaining that the present Republican
State administration has been con-
Quoted on sound business principles.
Democrats started campaign of mis-
representation and advanced argu
ments and gave figures which seemed
plausible, but | long since discovered
| that it is impossible to fool the peo
| pie for any length of time. The plain
statement made by Gov. F'ernald took
| the wind all out of the Democratic
sails. The Democratic cause so far as
Maine is concerned. reached high wa
ter mark at the time of their State
convention. and there has been a de-
cline ever since. The people are dis
covering that the business of the
| State has been wisely, honestly. and
economically conducted, and can see of
| no good reason for a change. When
| they look back and see what the Dem
ocrats did the last time they had con-
| troll of the State they decline again
| to entrust their affairs to the Demo-
cratic party. 1t requires no prophet to
fOretell that there will be a sweeping
Republican victory in Maine on Sept.

Congressman Burleigh is at his home
in Augusta and will remain there the
most of the time until after the cleo
ton in September. He will assist in
the work of the campaign. AS usual he
will personally conduct the canvass in
the Third District. In all probability
there is not better organizer in the
State than Mr. Burleigh. The people
in his district. irrespective of party
have a high regard for him. He has
grown in popularity since being in
Congress. In the highest sense he has
been the representative of all the peo-
pie Of his district. In the Third every
thing looks much better for Republic
can success than it did two years ago

He sought the - scenes with eager
feet
The scenes he had known as boy:
"Oh. for a draft of those fountains sweet
And for a taste of that vanished joy."
He roamed the fields. he unused by the
streams,
He threaded the paths and lanes:
On the hills he sought his youthful
dreams,
In the woods to foreet his pains.
Oh sad. sad hills! Oh. cold cold hearth!
In sorrow he learned the truth
One may go back to the place Of his
birth
He cannot go back to his youth.

Hear Stsfe Tax Commissioner

Thirty-five memb bers Of boards Of ass essors and boards Of relief took advant- age of the visit of State Tax Commiss- toner Corbin 10 this city Tuesday after noon, and met him in ithe council chamber. The meeting lasted over three hours and many questions were asked and ans swered and the different phases of that difficult problem, taxa- ton, were informally discussed. The meeting was productive Of much good and instructive to high degree, MT. Corbin imparting . great deal of valuable information.
 One particular thing discussed and advocated was that towns desist from laying the tax rate for the ensuing year at the annual town meeting. The commissioner suggests that more logical method would be 10 lay the tax at a special town meeting that ought to be held las late as February This would allow Of the assessors and board of relief holding their meetings and adjusting the grand list according to any changes that might be necessary. Then when the meeting to lay the tax was called the rate could be accurately fixed by reference to the grand list.
