For Congress-:

The Roosevelt boosters are in high
spirits and some are offering odds on
their favorite. 1t was. only thirty-two
years ago that the nomination and
election of General Grant to a third
presidential term seemed inevitable.
The leader of the Grant forces was
Roscoe Conkling, who was then the
most powerful chief Of the republican
party. 1t was easy to get odds of two
to one on the old war hero, and it
looked like the hero-worshippers were
carrying everything before them. But
the result proved that the Grant cam
paign was chiefly noise. And so ii is
with the Roosevelt boom. Unlike the
ancient Romans, the American people
are not hero worshippers.

While Cone Johnson's announce,
ment for the senate has not been
greeted with an outburst of enthu
siasm, there is no denying that it has
created a sensation throughout the
state, and many newspapers and poll

thinking fast, not knowing what to do
about 1t. Mr.. Johnson's ability is un-
questioned and his reputation as a
fighter has never been doubted. 1t

Wolters wants series of joint dis
cussions Mr.. Johnson will give him all

Editor kennebec Journal:
On the 10Th of July Mr.. Levy of New
York introduced a bill into Congress
which goes TO show how persistently the
Democrats are working to introduce for
eign goods into this country free of duty.
The bill provides that our wealthy citi-
zens who spend their vacation in Europe
and elsewhere abroad, may each bring
into this country on their return, from
5000 to $3.50 worth of goods free of duty
1t is estimated that with the present
system of differentiation that this bin
will allow from 500 100000 to $3.50 900, 900
worth of goods to come in free of duty
each year. And this would all be brought
in by the wealthy class, whom the Demo-
Gratis pretend to have such antipathy
for; which if one of your friends was
over there and wished to send You a
present worth say 50. you would have to
pay a duty on it of from sl.50 to $3.50
Let us suppose that under this bill
800. 900 worth of goods will come in
and see what its bearing will be on
Maine manufactures That amount of
goods will take the place of goods made
/ in Maine and elsewhere which could have
been sold to those people if they had
not bought them abroad and paid their
money to foreign manufacturers and for
eign Iaborers, and taking just so much
money permanently out of this country
to enrich foreigners.
According to the last census there
were 5000 laborers employed in the
manufacturing industries of this state.
They produced s176,Ooo 900 worth of goods
So that each laborer produced 5000 worth
of goods. So we see that this $l0o.Woooo
worth of foreign goods is equal to the
entire productive capacity of $1,000 en-
ployers in Maine Industries for an entire
year 1t is very evident that each of
those $1,000 will average to have at least
three persons dependent on them for
their support making 10000 persons, or
one-t third of the entire population of our
State deprived of livelihood by this one
act alone besides stopping the wheels of
industry in over one-half of all the
manufacturing establishments in our
State And this is Just how Democracy
legislates in favor of the laboring men.

Dear Sir:-A few evenings ago m

You referred to the general criticism
of the administration of your Office
and then said. 1T must be an evidence
of the Lords love to me, for whom

but your application has no parallel
to surpass 1t since the attorney gen
eral of perdition assaulted the Son of
God on the Mount of Temptation,
Matt. 4. 1t is another public blunder.
The Lords love for you is not the
love he extends to suffering saints but
the kind he exercises toward incor-
rigible sinners. The Bible group to
which you belong, judging from Il
similar administration, is composed of
Pharaoh. Ahab, Hannah, Nebuchad-
nezzar, PLATE. and Judas. and the
like There are passages of Scripture
that aptly and adequately describe the
situation. Dan. 5:27, "Tekel, thou art
weighed in the balances and found
wanting" Fec. S:11, Because SEN
tence against an evil work is not
speedily executed, therefore the heart
of the sons of men is fully set in them
to do evil" Prov. 29:1, He that be-
ing often reproved hardeneth his neck
shall suddenly be destroyed and that

Mr.. Pattansall on Republican Record

Mr.. Pattangall on Republican Record.
On the last day of the session of the
Maine Legislature of which Mr.. W. r.
Pattangall was Republican member,
he delivered eulogy of the Republi-
can party that evidently met the APP
prevail of his colleagues. as it re-
eeived their "(Applause)." according
to the stenographic record of their
proceedings.
He said in part:
when the Legislature met, as l I'M
derstcod it, we had three principal
subjects to consider, one being the
equalization of taxation, another the
adjustment, so far as could be done,
of the fec system, and another the
carrying out of an economical admin
istration of State affairs. So far as
the equalization of taxation is con-
cerned, l believe that this Legislature
has done work which will be re-
membered for years and years. / be-
lieve that the work of this Legislature
in placing the chief burden of taxation
upon those great business interests
best able to bear it and taking it away
from the property of the people of
Maine, has done work little realized
by the people of the State of Maine.
= So far as the economical adj
ministration of the affairs of the State
are concerned, and you we'll know that
there is little need for me to state 1t,
the gentleman who has presided over
us has done all that he could to re-
strain any undue appropriation of
public money and at the same time to
see that every interest of the State
was fairly treated by this body. We
have carried out the work which the
people of Maine elected us to per-
FORM
1t may perhaps be well to add, that
the fee system referred to as one of
the three principal subjects to be con-
sidered by the party in power was
taken in hand and abolished by later
Republican Legislature--in the abb
sence of Mr.. Pattangall from legisla-
tive halls.

extra session of Congress to reduce

saddle and New England industries

perity will be knocked higher than

come the Democrats will say that it is
nothing to do with them that hard
