from overlooking the system with

was well pleased with the efforts to dis
credit and belittle his administration, and
shat he was deliberately encouraging party
discord for the sole purpose of gratifying
his own political ambitions.
1t is not strange that just at this point
hundreds Of thousands Of people changed
their minds about MIR, Roosevelt. For up
to this time they had believed that his APP
peals for square deal were sincere. Con-
duct so contemptibiy mean and unjust
could hardly come from mind inspired

II is this shamefully unjust and unfair
treatment OF the President that is arous-
ing the public conscience. And 1t Is en-
courRging to see that the mass of people
resent such treatment. II is not easy to
imagine conduct more unjust than this
toward an honest. able and worthy
official. The mass OF voters have the good
sense to see that it is not wise or patriotic
to endorse or conntenance such conduct,
but that a much better course is to give
MIR. Taft such vote as will emphaticeiiy
condemn those who have been trying to

ELLSWORTH, ME-, Oct. Is, 1912.
To the Editor Of The american:
In communication in THE AMERICAN
last week, DIR, X. l.. Grindle, of ait. Desert,
appeals for support OF the republican can
didate for President on the ground of
party pride. This Is not argument; it is
the despairing cry of the party man who
would stem the tide of deserters.
Dr. Grindie represents the extreme type
of the party msn-thoroughly honest in
conviction, but who can sec no good in
anything not bearing the label Of his
party, be il republican or democratic.
The party man stands for name, label,
rather than for the thing labeled. II his
party gradually grows away from the
principles of its youth, gradually sue
cumbs to the insidious advances OF the
''moneyed interests the party man clings
to the name and the record OF what the
party once was; he points back to ''its high
ideals and grand achievements. The
party man would swallow mutton and call
it lamb, because it was lamb before it was
mutton.
The party man decries the growing in
dependent vote; he would deny to man
the Independence OF thought in politics
which be applauds in other affairs in life;
he would deny him the privilege OF look
ing beyond the label on the goods and re-
jecting that which is bad.
DR.. Grindle betrays little of the politi-
cal acumen with which he is credited
when he starts with the assumption that
this is a s'one- man movements Roosevelt
movement. 1t needs no political seer, no
deep student of political history to trace
this movement back through a slow
growth OF years. 1t is seen in the increase
OF the independent vote from year to year,
in the demand OF the people for more di-
rect voice in state and national affairs by
the substitution of the direct primary for
the ring-ruied convention, and by the di
rect election OF United States senators.
You can trace its growth and the causes
for it in the social unrest becoming more
and more apparent every day; in the
growing insistence of the demand OF the
people for relief from the constantly in
cress ing cost of living.
There is startling significance, for the
man who will read, in the wholesale
dynamiting plots exposed within the year,
in the Lawrence strike, and in the rapid
growth of the socialist vote. Where does
Industrial disturbance leave off and in
dustrial revolution begin? Is it long
step from wholesale murder and destruc-
ton OF property by dynamite to the legal
lied murder of officially declared war?
This is the crisis toward which this
country is tending to-day-industria war
or political revolution, and to meet this
crisis the progressive party, the natural
child of social and political conditions,
comes into organized being. 1t takes

Mt. DESERT, Me-, Oct. Is, 1912.
To the Editor of The american:
In these last days of the campaign
silent but mighty force is working for
President Taft. Ii is the intense feeling
OF resentment aroused in the minds OF the
common people because OF the rank in
justice being done. Manliness instinc-
lively resents injustice. And thoughtful
men are calmly thinking over what has
been going on in the last few months
And they are asking themselves: "What
is all this fuss about, anyhow"
For with the most careful examination
they can see nothing about the President
or his administration deserving such un-
just and indiscriminate condemnation; on
the contrary, they see that he has done re-
marksbly well, considering the circum-
stances.
For fair minded men take into account
that he has had hard chance. The party
which nominated and elected him four
years ago has been crippled by discordant
views and actions on things fundamental
Nothing that he did or neglected to do
caused this party discord. Nor was il
within his power to prevent it, for no
human power can harmonic doctrines
measures or policies which are essentially
antagonistic.
Neither could President Taft or any
other man reconcile factions of men, many
=
loyalty, but much OF personal enmity and
determination not to be reconciled.
This was the embrassing and perplexing
situation which the President found him
self '.up against" from the start. But as
Col. Roosevelt had selected Mr.. Taft as his
successor, it was very natural to expect
that the colonel and his friends would
show friendly and sympathetic attitude
toward the President and his administra-
tion. But in this the public met with
disappointment. For many of Mr.. Roose-
velt's friends were so active and noisy in
their efforts to prejudice the public against
Mr.. Taft that thoughtful men began to be
suspicious that they really did not want
him to have an administration satisfactory
to the public.
When Col Roosevelt joined his friends
in their criticism of the administration it
was no longer mere suspicion, but in the
minds of intelligent men generally it be-
came settled conviction that the colonel
was really glad OF the perplexities which

For whom are you thinking of cast

For Mr.. Roosevelt, whose election
is now conceded by even his sup
porters to be an absolute impossi-

For Mr.. Wilson, aristocratie gov

policy would bring upon the country
again the industrial and commercial
paralysis that under like free-t trade
policy in 1898 emptied the factories
and the workshops and filed the
almshouses and the free public soup
houses?
Or for William Howard Taft, the
champion of equal rights under fair
and impartial laws, the defender of
the constitution and the preserver of
the protective tariff principle which
has made the United States the rich
est and most powerful country in the
world, and has given the American
workingman advantages and oppor-
tunities enjoyed by no other work
ing man in the world?
The vital issue of the campaign is
whether the protective tariff shall be
preserved and whether this shall be a
government of laws instead of gov
eminent by the whims and caprices
of men.

Alliance of Roosevelt and Wilson.
Brooklyn Standardization.
Everybody notices how Wilson is
turning fiipfiaps on the tariff question.
His platform says protection is I'M
constitutional, but Wilson is explain
ing that the removal of protection
won't hurt much, being little here
and little there. One of his sup
porters elegantly compares the demo-
cratic policy to the taking of strych
nine. Beginning with a little, you
may increase the dose till you can
stand lot. This is supposed to make
people vote for the protection
party and IT'S lodging candidate.
Roosevelt yesterday made a speech
in which he said he was for protec-
ton, but for reducing it little by lit
tie.
Now here you have it. The Roose-
velt policy and the Wilson policy are
identical. They come to the same
conclusion by different routes.
Wilson is for free trade, but
Roosevelt is for protection, but
There are no s'buts'' or ''ifs" about
the republican party. The republican
party is for protection "and" the
maintenance Of the American home
market system with its resultant
prosperity.
So are the American people.
