Democracy's Worst Enemies.

ment Governor Plaisted and his eoun-
ell are receiving to get the will of the
people" At the last council meeting
the Governor and his advisers were
| in secret session until the small hours.
! secretary of state because lie Was in
, Chicago, in attendance at the Confer
enees of the L. S Brewers Assoeia-
ton.
Unquestionably the Governor and
other Democratic leaders are receiy-
ing many such communications as the
one we reproduce from the Waterville
Sentinel Without doubt they are be-
ing advised and urged, by men pre-
the law. But if we have correctly
gagged the intelligence and political
perspicacity of Governor Plaisted and
Attorney General Pattangall, they will
live up to the letter of the declara-
ton of the Governor on Sept. 10, when
he said:
I'VE are trying to get at the will of
the people If there isn't law enough
laid down to find out how the people
voted. I'll go to the courts and get
some."
That is all the people ask. is to have
their vote recorded as they intended
it, They are not to blame, any more
than the Governor and Council, for the
errors of town officials.
The people of this State want
true record Of the vote, as nearly as
common sense and justice can estab-
fish it If they do not get it. the au-
thors of their defeat viii suffer
The man who urges the Governor
and Council to betray the manifest
desire of the voters is no Democrat;
he is no friend of Governor PIaisted
and the administration.
These men who are attempting to
persuade the administration to over
turn the law by trickery are the
Democratic partys own worst enc
mics.

uphold the law as hypocrites, liars
