RECIPROCITY ISSUE
IN MAINE CONTEST
Democrats Expect That Taft's
Championship of Plan WHl
Win Them Votes.

BANGOR, Me-, Sept. 2.-Such is the
anxiety of the Republican leaders
concerning the situation in Maine
that they have caused to be made the
most thorough canvass ever known
in this State. Al elaborate card IN
dex system is being employed in
twelve of the sixteen counties. Nearly
every voter in those counties has been
questioned as to his vote September 8.
AS a result of this the
leaders are asserting that William 1.
Haines. Republican candidate for
governor, will have at least 1000 ma
jority. They declare that the only
hope of the Democrats lies In the
counties of Androscogg,n, Cumber-
land, Knox, Kennebec and Penobscot,
with some slight chance in Lincoln,
Waldo and Sagadahoc. The Repub-
leans are predicting victory in the
counties of York, oxford, Franklin,
Somerset, Piscataquis, Aroostook,
Washington and Hancock as abso-
lutely certain for Mr.. Halnes and tho
whole Republican ticket.
These assertions are ridiculed by
the Democrats. 1t is declared that in
all of the sections named the Demo-
cratic meetings have as 4 rule been
more largely attended than those of
the opposition. Coming down to
figures, they declare that in Aroo-
stock county alone President Taft's
championship of reciprocity will cost
the Republican ticket thousands of
votes.
Aroostook is on the Canadian bor-
der, and it's industries-lumber, hay
and potatoes-would, it is commended.
suffer severely from the proposed
commercial treaty with Canada. The
farmers up there are bitterly resent-
full over the reciprocity movement,
and it is believed they will carry their
resentment to the polls.
Democrats last night were more EN-
phatic than ever in their declaration
that the State is safe for MIR. Plaisted
and the ticket generally.

WAITS FOR
VOTE IN VERMONT
State, Barometer of Political
Sentiment" Expected to Indi-
cate November Result.

MONTPELIER, VT, Sept. 1.-The
first important test of political
strength under the Unusual conditions
prevailing this year will be. made in
Vermont tomorrow, when the first
State election will be held. National
issues have been presented and the
effect upon the Republican and Demo-
cratic vote of the campaign of Colonel
Roosevelt, who toured the State last
week, will be watched with interest.
Vermont has been strongly Repub-
lican for half a century, but the size
of the Republican plurality, with the
exception of three years, has been an
accurate barometer of the political
sentiment of the nation. Whenever
the Republican plurality has fallen
below $4,000 a Democratic President
has been elected in November. This
year the entry of the Progressive
party has complicated the situation.
There are five candidates for gov
ernor-Allen M. Fletcher, Republican.
Harlan B.. Howe. Democrat; Rev.
Frazer Metzger, P~rogressive; Clement
F. Smith, Prohibitionist, and Fred w.
Suffer, Socialist.
One element of interest entering
into the election is the possibility that
the Legislature may have to deter
mine who will be the next governor.
In Vermont anything less than, a ma
Jority vote throws the election of
State officers into the Legislature.

0a HE express companies knew for many years that by their
il system of charges they were robbing the public. They
knew that in many thousands of cases in a year their
agents overcharged and also that they charged at both ends.
The companies pocketed the profits of their system, the dis
honesty amounting in the aggregate to more than their present
capitalization, and said nothing. They made no change in their
profitable brigandage system until the Interstate Commerce Com
mission took hold of them, exposed their thieving and compelled
them to adopt new ratemaking and bookkeeping methods. The
new rules of the Interstate Commerce Commission went into
effect yesterday. There is a reduced schedule of charges and q
reformed system of bills and labels for shipment. The reduction
Of rates is not what it ought to be. In fact, the continued ex-
lstence of the parasite express company has no excuse. 1t
represents a tribute gatherer between the shipper and the trans
portation company, and the money taken from the public is
nothing short of plumber. Congress could readily have rid the
country of this incubus, but failed to do so. On the contrary,
the parcels post system was so adjusted as to do the least pos
sible injury to express companies profits.

GREGORY AGREES |
TO RUN FOR MAYOR
Sends Petition, After Many Re.
quests, to His Former Cam.
paign Manager.

Mayor Julian A.. Gregory. of East
Orange, in a letter today from Sprins
Lake to f. Tracy Lanterman, his
campaign manager two years ago,
agreed to once more become a candi-
date for mayor. He was told that
lated among and by Republicans, and
hat the number was now increased.
Strong pressure was brought to
bear on Mayor Gregory to reconsider
his determination not to become a
candidate again, and 1t was only done
after long consideration of the claim
hat citizens without pa~rtisanship
had desired him to run. He will be
opposed by Paltiel r. Bomeisler, and
a warm contest is expected. His
letter to Mr.. Lanterman follows:
my Dear Mr.. Observation-Disclosures
l I'M sending you the petition placing
me in nomination at the coming pri-
maries as a candidate for mayor on
the Democratic ticket.
II am convinced from information
that has reached me to the effect that
numerous petitions are circulating
throughout the city requesting me to
again become a candidate that my
personal inclinations should be subor-
dinated to what I believe to be n duty
of citizenship. I have, consequently
signed the petition, indicating NM
consent to the use of my name. 4

WAR AND THE NORWEGIAN.

TMoE1R HARDIE'S scheme to make war impossible by organ
lin izing workingmen for a general strike in case war should
be declared is visionary. Harde is an ardent Socialist.
He says of the British Socialists: eve are working hard to
get the working classes in Great Britain and Germany to enter
into an agreement if war should ever be declared between these
countries to declare a general strike. That is, we want all en-
gagged in steel and iron Industries, transport workers, etc, TO
quit work at once" Now, the character of the proyocations
for war has been radically changed in the last few years by in
dustrialism. The next great war will be brought on mainly by
tile necessities of the labor population, and necessarily war will
command it's sympathy and support. And, then, Mr.. Hardie too
lightly considers the strength of racial antagonisms and of the
sentiment of country. In no nation is Socialism as widely ex'
tended or more aggressive. than in Germany, and yet in a war
with France or England the German laboring class would rally
as one man for the defense of the fatherland.
