STAND BY BURLEIGH.
Communication from a Progressive
at North Haven

| To the Editor of the PRESS:
| North Haven, Nov 30.--There seem t.
/ be all kinds Of stories in regard 10 what
| the incoming Legislature is going to
do in regard to the United States sen
ator, and some OF the other Offices al
| their disposal. II seems to me there
can be but one thing that the Pro-
gfessfves and Republicans can do and
that is to carry out the platform that
the Republicans stood on at the Sep
temher election In September thou
sands of progressive Republicans vot-
cd the Republican ticket to rid the
State Of Democratic misrule, and they
expected that if the State was carried
by the. Republicans. Hon. z. c, Bur
leigh would be elected State Senator
from Maine, receiving the full support
of the Republicans That there would
be no trade made whereby Mr.. Bur
leigh would be defeated. or any Demo-
crat elected by the Republican Leg
islature. or that Governor Haines
would make any distinction between
Republicans and Progressive Republic
cans in making his appointments.

Dor voted for Mir. Taft; we both Vot-
ed for Mr.. Haines for governor and MT
Burleigh for senator. Now are we 60
ing to say we will not vote for Mr.
Rrrleigh, or that we will trade with
the Democrats. and defeat the will OF
the party in June and September? Ii
that is the make up of the leaders OF
the Progressive party now in Maine,
then they are not worthy to be called
leaders. and they will find that hon
esty is the best policy" even in poll
tics.

traffic, why of course the rum trust
and the Waterville Sentinel must
convert some one 1t would never
DO at all to allow any to escape from
the seven sixteenths. That is I'M
thinkable to the booze crowd!
Our Pennington Prohibition advo>
cate mast never dare think of such
a thing as anyone being converted
from Boozedom to decency. The
Waterville Intemperanee Wall will
never tolerate such an idea.
We hope the Pennington Chronicle
editor will read carefully and fully
digest the powerful logic of this, re-
quoted from the above:

cordance with the ideas of the people OF
all sections of Maine.
II is so painfully apparent that the
Pennington Chronicle, in its sober
sanity. has never been able to per-
ceive that which is so plain TO the
booze expert, viz: that nine-siN-
teenths of the voters and the women
and children of Maine are decidedly
NOT the people,
1t takes booze to make the people
and the rest of us are only fanatics,
"hypocrites," idiots" and hood
lums' The booze trust and feW
Maine Democratic team" workers
have told us so often enough for us to
have it by heart.

Now we know what is the matter
with Bill Sewall, otherwise Collector
William w. Sewall of the Aroostook

us. The matter with Bill is that he is
trying to save his job. This old friend,

might call the Finn organ, by coming
out in favor of keeping faith and sup

has written a letter to the Aroostook

the proposed reputation of the pri-
maries-proposed by the Lewiston
Journal and by few others SO FAR as
appears. He states the incontroverti-
bic facts. that the Progressive platform
declared for obedience to the popular
will as expressed in the primaries; that
the Bangor convention, composed oil
men of both the Roosevelt and the
Taft factions, pledged support OF the
primary nominees; and that this was
Nention, held later He points out
that Governor Burleigh won the prl-
mary contest in fair fight ana re-
oeivsd almost as many votes as
both of his competitors, and he says
he believes the agitation against Bur

Editor of the Kennebec Journal:
Ny dear Sir: want to say that l en-
dorse the sentiment of Bill Sewall,
relative to eIecting a United States
Senator in the incoming Legislature.
When the Progressives, in convention
at Portland, endorsed the Republican
Candidates for State offices, whoever
they might be If they We're nominated
in the primaries. every Progressive
believed they meant just what they
said | was a candidate for represen-
tatiYe to the Legislature. and. had l
been elected. | should have voted for
Mr. Burleigh for Senator just as We
agreed in that convention. We knew
Mr. Burleighs politics when we en-
dorsed him and there is no good rea-
son for us to go back on our word.
/ am a Progressive and | follow
my great leader and give every man
"A Square Deal" | firmly believe that
Lincoln county Republican representa-
tives will vote for ex-Gov. Burleigh.
If / believed there could be found one
Republican or Progressive member OF
either branch of the Legislature to
lend their aid to defeat the will of the
people of this State by electing Dem
ocrat to the United States Senate L
would refrain from ever casting an
other vote in this State.
/ am a Progressive, as | have said,
and did something towards the old
town of Bristol casting 164 votes Tor
the Roosevelt electors. l also voted
in the primaries for eX-Gov. Burleigh
as a candidate for Senator and he won,
iust as did Mr.. Haines, and. in my
Judgment 1t would be just as consist
ent to say, I'VE are not going to seat
Mr. Haines as Governor of this State!
as it would be to declare, I'VE will not
send MIR. Burleigh TO the United States
Senate
/ say To the ProgressiVes of Maine;
Let us, in our infancy. do no mean
thing that can be hurled at US in the
coming years. but let us do just as we
agreed; namely. send the Hon. Edwin
{. Burleigh TO the United States SEN

for publication in every Progressive
and Republican newspaper IN TINS
