Lewiston Sun: "That's pretty argu-
rnent that the Lewiston Journal repeats
to the effec, that the men elected to the
Legislature as Republicans should elect
someone else to the U. S. Senate than
the man nominated thereto by the Re-
publicans at the same time that they
nominated those very members of the
Legislature.
F'The result CT that primary was I'M
questionable that the Republicans of
Maine preferred Burleigh for Senator.
SO that if nothing political had happened
out the election of the Legislature, those
Republicans elected would have no eX-
cuse for refusing to elect Burleigh. But
something else political did happen. The
Republican party was broken in two;
the boiling wing nominated Roosevelt
in the Presidential election the boilers
had more votes than the regulars. The
Journal would have the Presidential cleo
ton treated as a supreme primary-a
primary of appeal setting aside the
June primary.
''Pretty. But let's follow it out. True,
that the Presidential election showed
more votes for Roosevelt than for Taft;
but it showed at the same time more
votes for Wilson than for either Taft or
Roosevelt. Then if the Presidential
election is to be taken as grand prima-
~ of appeal, its decision is that not Bur-
leigh, nor the someone else, but Gardner
should be elected. The Presidential
election decided in favor of the Demo-
Gratis; the Democrats had already picked
their man Gardner. If the Presidential
election is to be taken as the grand pri-
mary of appeal its decision is that Gard
ner should be sent to the Senate.
'$Consider what the Senatorial primary
is for. 1t is to get as near as the Con-
stitution will allow to popular election of
Senators. If we had had popular cleo
ton of Senators who would have been
elected? There are two answers. If
the election had been held with the cleo
ton of President it would have been
G ardner If the Senator had been elect
ed at the Septe mber election, it might
have been Gardner; and it might have
been BurIeigh; and it might have been a
somebody else. Now if the people had
elected Burleigh in September, The
journal would hardly claim that his cleo
ton II September was set aside by the
Democratic victory in November. What
the people did DO in September was as
nearly the election of Burleigh as the
Constitutional requirements allow. They
voted for the Burleigh party candidates.
The people have chosen Burleigh for
their Senator as nearly as it was posi-
BILE for the people to choose a Senator.
Blrleigh ought to be elected on the first
ballot in the Legislature.

ROOSEVELT IS ACCUSED
Of SEEKING OESPOT|SM.
Chairman Barnes Replies to
Statement Issued Last Night
at Oyster Bay.

NEW YORK. June 4.-William Barnes,
jr.. republican state chairman. issued
statement today in reply to the one given
out at Oyster Bay last night by Col.
Roosevelt
Mr.. Roosevelt is now absolutely in the
open,' reads Mr.. Barnes statement. 'by
his declaration that the principles. as he
puts 1t, enacted at the Rochester con-
vention are not merely revolutionary but
bourbon and reactionary.' These prin-
ciples form the foundation upon which
this government has rested since its es-
Enlistment =
IF the republican party at Chicago in
its convention desires to follow Mr.. Roose-
velt's advice and declare that the bill OF
rights of the Constitution, Endorsed by
the Rochester convention, are Bourbon
and reactionary.' then the republican
party no longer exists as a force for
the preservation of the rights of each
individual citizen in America, but has
become the plaything of a demented am
bition, which would use the organism or
that party. as he now openly avows TO
destroy those principles established by
the adoption of the Constitution and re-
affirmed by the action of the Rochester
convention.
'Mr. Roosevelt is clever politician,
and usually has been able to conceal his
sub-conscious mind. but in the statement
which he issued yesterday he has clearly
portrayed that his ultimate purpose is
the subversion of our government. That
has been clear to me for years through
an intimate knowledge and study Of his
basic character. 1t chafes at all re-
strictions, and, under the stress of this
conflict. has openly betrayed its secret
recesses wherein are nurtured passionate
ambitions to use apparent popular favor
for the destruction of the Constitution,
an impeachment to the realization Of those
ambitions.
His candidacy represents. as he him
self has now declared, simply an attack
on the Constitution of the United States.
the sweeping away of its safeguards OF
individual liberty. and the establishment
in it's stead of despotism. which, for
his purposes. he is now pleased to call
the rule of the people
