household necessities in the form of
food and medicines
We have passed the sugar bill CIV
ing to every farmily that commodity
which has become almost as necessary
as bread itself
We have passed the cotton bill giving
cheaper clothing to working women,
and cheaper overalls and frocks TO
working men.
We have passed, or shall pass, an
income tax bill placing a part of the
burden of taxation upon those who are
able to bear it, and taking it from the
shoulders of the poor.
We have passed the Sherwood Pen
sion Bill, the first real recognition that
the old soldier has ever received at
the hands of Congress, since he babe
farewell to home and loved ones and
took up his march TO the 'front.'. and
all these bills passed by a Democratic
| House in the interest of the people, In
the interest of the soldier in his years
| of old age and infirmity, have either
met or are to meet an adverse fate in
| a hostile Republican Senate, and if not
| then, then at the door of the White

Your administration in the State has
! been conducted with marked ability and
good Judgment. Every public official
from the Governor down has felt the
responsibility resting upon him TO do
] his best, and mas accordingly bent his
| energy to meet the expectations of the
! people and to justify the trust reposed
/ in him as a public servant. The re-
cent elections in Maine are a response
/ To your efforts for good. Tomorrow
the Legislature will meet in special
session. 1t is needless for me to urge
upon you the utmost caution in your
deliberations. One single mistake may
lose to us all that years of honest
diligence have gained. 1t has been
! urged that you should redistrict the
state for Congressional representation
/ If this be so, there can be but one rea-
son for it. and that is to hold them as
! they now are for the next 10 years,
! for no other lines can be drawn so
/ favorable 10 the Democratic party as
| they now exist. There is nothing in
the theory that the population should
be more equally divided Other states
vary in this respect far more than ours.
Reestablish them as they now are, and
| the 63fd Congress will seat -four Dem
ocratic Congressman instead of two,
and the Senators viii stand as they do
today. Your good Judgment and prud-
ence, tempered with fairness, I have
no doubt will carry the party over this
danger point and lead to a grand and
glorious victory for oar party when
the smoke of battle shall clear away
on the 9th of next September

that the eyes of all are turned to but
one upon whom your choice will fall,
when opportunity offers. He will need no
convention speeches to nominate him,
no applause of admiring followers, but
the record which he has made the cour-

am also reminded that you have met
for the purpose of selecting delegates to
represent You in the great national con-

our Party in the Nation is to nominate
candidates for the offices of President

been mentioned, borne by men of the
