MAINE PROGREssIvEs.

Maine was one of two New England
States where the Progressive party ran
second at the recent election In YER
mont Roosevelt closely followed Taft in
the poll, while in Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecti-
cut it was Taft who was second to Will
son. But in Maine Roosevelt was second
to Wilson, and received 10000 votes to
&c, 900 for Taft.
This result, which was not unexpected
to those familiar with the peculiar situa-
ton in Maine, has put the Progressive
leaders of that State in decidedly cocky
rood, and they are laying out legisla-
tive program which fills the Democrats
with great cheer. The State committee
of the Progressives met in Bangor the
other day and after long session behind
closed doors made public their determin-
alton to 60 it alone when the Legislature
assemblies in January. to hold caucus
for State officials and for the officers of
the two branches, and to act as dis
tinct party upon all measures to come
before the Legislature. There was no
specific mention of the United States
senatorship in the resolutions which were
made public, but everybody in Maine
knows that this is the big prize at stake.
Nobody knows how many Progress
sives there will be in the Maine Legis-
lature. No member was elected under
that designation, for truce prevailed in
the State campaign and the Republicans
were united at the September cleo
ton. The Republicans will control both
branches, and have a majority of 16
of the members who were elected as Re-
70 fol, o,.Io
from Chairman Halbert Gardner of the
deadlock on organization, State officials
more likely that the Progressive leaders
bosses-are putting themselves in posi-
ton to make a few advantageous trades
for the fat plums and then to arrange
another truce with the regular Republi-
cans.
AS for the senatorship, it will be a raw
breach of political faith if any man
elected to the Maine Legislature as a
Republican fails to vote for ex-Gov. Bur-
leigh. He won an overwhelming victory
at the preferential primaries in which
those who now call themselves Progress
sives participated as Republicans, and
by the result of which they are morally
bound. He has maintained neutra! at
titude in the presidential campaign out
of respect to Bull Moose sensibilities.
He is recognized in Washington and else
where as the man best fitted to repre-
sent Maine in the Senate. The Republi-
can members of the Legislature who
may be ordered to bolt him in favor of
Senator Obadiah Gardner, Democrat, or
Chairman Halbert Gardner himself, in
defiance of their popular primary results,
were elected after a hard campaign in
which they begged for and were given
substantial financial help from the Re-
publican national committee. Maine Pro-
gressives should recognize that the Re-
publican party truce of last summer
covered the senatorship. Boston Herald.

flicted with prohibition for the
last five years, closed its books

But in this record he omits to
mention that Maine, after more
than fifty years of prohibition, has
many more savings bank depositors
than voters, and over 1925 on de-
post for every man, woman and
child in the state, as well as the
fewest criminals and paupers of
any state in the Union, to say
nothing of having the fewest
women and children working for a
living, and only 80 murders in five
years.
Strange to say, he ignored Kan
sas entirely though she has the
largest per capita wealth of any of
our states, and an automobile for
every five farmers-which doesn't
indicate 'stagnation' to the average
citizen.
According to Assistant Attor-

twice as many people in Missouri

Kansas, but the tax rolls of Kan
sas are little more than one bill
lion larger than the tax rolls of
Missouri, as on record at their re-
spective state capitals.
That sounds prosperous, and
in fact Kansas just HAD to or
ganize more banks in these last
five years than any other state,
because you see, Kansas, with all
these Terrible and Costly doings,
has only spent 81 As per capita
for liquor in the last ten years.
while Missouri, just across an
imaginary line, has spent 1874 90
per capita!

mentioning.

What is needed in this as in many
other matters relating to government
is not delay but expedition. The pres
ident and the house of representatives
are elected in November. They should
take office on the first Monday in De-
cember following. When senators are
elected by popular vote such an ar
rangement will present no difficulty.
The needed constitutional amendments
ought to be easy.

tanning many defeated members and
an executive depaItmen that has been

WHAT ARE THE BULL MOOSES
PLOTTINGl

Curiosity has been aroused by the
meeting of the remnant of the Progress
sive party in Chicago. Throughout the
country the question is being asked,
What is the real purpose of the meet
ing"
The ostensible purpose of the meet
ing. one to keep alive the party organ
ifation, is not credited very widely
with being the real purpose of the as
seembly. In brief, it is charged against
Roosevelt and the Bull Moosers that
they intend to seize the machinery of
the now helpless Republican party and
~Fide-into power with it in 1916, If pos
sibIe.
Those who hold this view advance
as an argument and proof of their
statements that the Republican party
is now leaderless. Its organization is
at the mercy of Roosevelt and his CO.
horts. Taft has never been more than
nominal leader. When the real stress
and fire of battle came he showed up
helpless and without tact or ability as
a leader. He merely aided in making
possible the large number of votes
PEELED recently by the Progressive
party.
Further than this, it is argued that
the old Republican party is dead 1t is
dead beyond resuscitation. The fight
between Roosevelt and Taft killed it,
The main difference between the two
parties, it is urged, were the leaders.
This being the case, it should be easy
fer the two factions to re-unite IN
1916. if there is hope Of Republican
victory, but only with the leaders OF
the triumphant Progressive party in
power.
This is interesting food for thought
for the Democrats of the nation. Let
them takS it to heart, as it seems to
he a very plausible forecast of what
may develop before 1916 in the polit-
ical field Taft is dead, and so is the
old Republican party. But the pro
Eressive element of that party is very
much alive. We shall see what new
life can be taken on By this lusty po-
litical infant.
