To the Editor of the Independent-Re-
porter:
In the last issue of your paper
there appears a statement relative TO
the electoral vote of Maine in years
past. which is so far from the fact
that | venture to make the correction.
The article to which | refer says,
For the first time in its history,
Maine will send six Democrats to the
electoral college, etc
| wish to say that in the early his
tory of Maine and, under the old ap-
portionment, Maine was usually a
Democratic State politically, and, ex-
cept once. when General William
Henry Harrison carried the State,
sent Democratic electors to the elect
oral college, from 1924 up to and in
GLIDING 1852 That period embraces
the years of 1924 1928, 1892, 1896,
1914, 1913 and 1852.
John Quincy Adams became Presi-
dent in 1924, and General laylor III
1S4S, but Democratic electors were
sent to the electoral college those
years from Maine.
Truly yours,
W. r. G. ESTES.
Skowhegan, Nov. 8, 1912.
Comment-While the above sentence
quoted in recent issue may seem mis-
leading as far as We have ascertained,
we find that at no time have there
ever been six Democrats sent from
Maine to the electoral college. There
were more than that previous to the
Civil War, but we do not find where
that same number have ever before
been sent. Since the days Of the Civil
War, however, that number have never
gone from this state.-Ed.

Honolulu Capital Sunk in Vain
Effort to slncuIcate Foreign

The T. s. Consul-Generai at long
kong writes in a recent report ~
The attempt Of a corporation or
ganized in Hongk1ng ~ith foreign
capital, largely from Honolulu. to
establish a brewing bushes on the
South Asiatic coast has been unsue-
cessful. The concern erected a mod
ern brewery on portion of the MAIN
land opposite Efongkong in 1909, but
lost money from the beginning. The
company has gone into voluntary
liquidation and is attempting to sell
it's plant.
The concern was organized with a
capital of 100000 gold The plant
established here was finely equipped,
mostly with American machinery and
appliances, including an outfit OF
glass-lined steel tanks, and was mod
ern in every respect in installation -
in fact, one Of the reasons for the
failure of the enterprise, as q bust
ness undertaking is that the capacity
OF. the plant-l00, 900 barrels of beer
annually-is so far beyond present
possible sale that it's economical OPP

stacle has been lack of success at.

the patronage of the Chinese. In
some parts of the new republic there
is a fair consumption of beer among
the natives, but as rule. the Chinese
prefer their own alcoholic beverages,
or, at most, take to foreign drinks
other than beer. ..s.s-. 522s.s s
For a time there was some reason
to expect successful introduction OF
beer among the Chinese of Hong.

Increased considerably, and growing
popularity gave some practical ground
for anticipating a change in Chinese
tastes. The concern also operated an
ice factory in connection with its
brewery, and income from this source
lent some support to the business,
The fact finally became plain, how.

All Progressive Republicans are
in favor of Robert NJ. La Toilette

independent choice of making their
selections at the primaries for said
purpose. Why predicate them in

find expression? What will be the
result if there are a dozen candidates

We would suggest that Progressive

best and most efficient material for
delegates at large in the State of
Wisconsin, also fror their respective
Congressional districts and the man
receiving the largest number of votes

MAKE THE LAW TERRIBLE

Governor McGovern has granted
seven Christmas pardons to prison
ers serving sentences for various
crimes. The governor, however, is
not as Ienient with the prisoners as
some governors have been.-Green
Bay Gazette.
Why should he be Ienient at all?
The Post can see no good reason
for pardoning any criminal unless
evidence is brought out, to show
that he was unjustIy convicted or
convicted of a greater crime than
he committed. In the opinion Of
this paper the guilty wrong-doer
should stay in prison till the end Of
his term no matter what evidence
there may be that he has been pun
ished enough" or is genuinely re-
pentent Every prisoner paroled
or pardoned makes another incen-
tive to crime on the part of men
who are willing to take chances
when they see convicted criminals
compassionateIy treated. There must
be more respect instead of more
contempt for the law-Appleton Post
We are strongly of the same o.
pinion as the Appleton Post The
Ieniency shown criminals by some
GOVERNORS and cards of Pardon only
help increase crime instead Of di-
minish it. The tendency all along the
line is to have sympathy and com
passion upon criminals-even those
who are serving life sentences. The
tendency is to pardon, parole and
find excuses for releases of one
kind or another. We favor pardon
and parole only where it is found
that the courts in trial of criminals
have made errors i'm the conviction
on circumstantiaI evidence.

la TOILETTE ON PRIMARIES

In Senator La Follette's speech
in Ohio the other day. he had this
to say on primaries:
IF there is one thing more than an
other that has been put to the front
in this campaign by the progressives
it is the demand for the election of
delegates to the national convention
by popular primary elections, and a
provision by which electors may di-
rectly express their choice for presi-
dental candidates upon their party
ticket This proposition has been OPP
posed by the national republican
committee and by machine politicians
everywhere. They dread to give up
that peculiar power that caucuses
and conventions give them. They
fear the secret ballot that enables
men to vote their convictions and
judgment. without intimidation or
espionage.
Yet, his friends in Wisconsin are
holding preliminary conferences in
the interest of few to forestau the
action of Republican Progressives at
the primaries. That is what we OBJ
ject to.

VOICE AND LEADER
OF THE WORLD

\ the eighteenth 'o century ",'':' !:
was the press that nodded
public opinion. The famous LET
tiers of Junips'' started the wave
that finally resulted in Widespread
Jig reforms in England. The
"Rights of Man" and other pam
phlets had a prodigious circulation
and exerted an immeasurab!e in
fuence toward the same ends.
A little book, Common Sense"
set the colonies on fire for indie
pendence, and the printing of Pat
rick Henry's and Samuel Adams
speeches, of Franklin's and other
papers and of Thomas Paine's
"Crisis" was a powerful aid in the
American Revolution.
It was the writings of Voltaire
and Rousseau and the news of our,
own war for independence that
brought on the revolution in
France. 'Uncle Toms Cabin"
which was first published in a
newspaper, had tremendous infu-
ence in freeing the slave.

POLITICAL QUERIES.

Friends of President Taft insist
upon his nomination for a second
term. President Taft and many of
the leaders of the Republican party
reluctantly admit that the possibility
of his reelection is very remote.
Then why nominate a sure looser?
Isn't there some man in the Republi-
can party who can be elected? If so
why not nominate him?
No matter whether or not President
Taft has made good. If he has made
good the people do not believe it and
won't be convinced of it. Therefore
it seems folly to submit him to the
humiliation of being defeated.
La Toilette is a candidate for the
nomination and as he represents the
Independent in politics and the indie
pendents seem to be in the ascendency
just now, why is not he the logical
candidate?.
Rightly or wrongly, the old, con-
sentative wing which Taft represents
is in political disfavor and many pro-
gressive Republicans win vote for a
Democrat rather than for him But
they don't want to leave the Republi-
can party and they would vote for a
progressive like La Toilette.
Then there is ex-President Roose
welt. To be sure, he says he is not a
candidate, but he may change his
mind before and may do so again.
The mere mention of his name throws
the money interests into commissions
yet he never hit the trusts half as
hard as President Taft has done. A
lot of Republicans believe that Roose
welt can save the party from defeat.
An admirer of La Toilette said to
him. Il want to shake hands with the
next president" Said La Toilette.
In order to be sure you are shaking
hands with the right one you should
shake hands with half a dozen O.
theirs, and don't forget to go to Tren-
ton. New Jersey" Significant, isn't
it?-The Wareham Courier.
The above editorial smacks of good
common horse sense and we are
heartily in accord with the sentiment
therein expressed. We are out and
out in favor of the nomination of Ro-
bert NJ. La Toilette in preference to
either Taft or Roosevelt. We believe
the Progressive Republicans and De
mocrats too of this country prefer to
vote for La Toilette than either
Roosevelt or Wilson It is more
a matter of men and what they stand
for than a matter of party. We be-
ieve the people prefer to tie to La
Toilette than any other man now men
toned for the Presidency. Our great
est trouble will be to secure La Fol-
lette's nomination His election will
follow if he can secure the Repub-
hcan nomination.
