Gardeners Insult to Progressives.

A leading Progressive in another
county writes in substance:
Just before election, Obadiah
Gardner, who now seeks to be elected
to the U. S. Senate by means of Pro-
gressiye votes, declared that Mr..
Roosevelt was an insane man: that
he was unfit to be trusted with the
presidency, and that if ever he got
into the White House he would never.
go out of it except by death or reyo-
luton.
Now how can any Progressive lend
his aid to man who thus insulted
not only the great leader of our
party. but insulted. every Progressive
by claiming that he would support
such a man?
How can any Progressive fail to
support Governor Burleigh, who re-
ceived the joint support of Progress
siyes and Republicans"
We would assure our Progressive
friend that We do not see how they
could do 1t and still lay claim to dis
cipleship of the Square Deal" but
our friend in the Lewiston Journal
editorial rooms is daily demonstrate
ing the beauties of that devious
route.
Editor Dingley has recognized
GARDENERS claim to "Progressivism.s
IL seems only necessary with Dingley
10 pretend a change of heart or a
change of consistency for fip-fop, to
win his affection.
Now that Dingley has come out in
the open for Obadiah Gardner, it may
be Of interest TO recall some of Ding.
iey's own utterances in recen
months, as well as Gardeners. Among
other things Mr. Gardner said:
"if Roosevelt is ever returned T.
the White House nothing excep
death or revolution can remove him
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1912-12-27

he is the most dangerous man in the
country today"
In reference to the above Editor
Dingley said
"Such tory fanatics as Gardner
standing for the powers of pilIage in
Maine, unintentionaIly elicit such
tory fanatics as Schrank. Gardner
regards Schrank to be less dangerous
than Roosevelt"
Again Dingley said: Fortunately,
there is no chance of Gardeners re-
election to the United States Sen
ate.e
Once more: "Obadiah never opens
his abysmal mouth without tumblins
into Pureatory."
At another time Editor Dingley re-
fers to the impossible" Gardner of
denials and contradictions.
We would recommend that our
friend ask Editor Dingley (who is
NOT of "the tory newspaper trust of
DOIu pdTlItSt 10 WHICH, <AiSiN - 1919
Maine newspapers belong) these
questions that he would address to
the Progressives of Maine.
1t may be that Obadiah Gardner
has recovered from his impossible
ness"
At least he has recovered to de-
gree that makes him more accepta-
BILE TO the Lewiston Journal than any
Republican could be, because Editor
Dingley obviously swore an awful
oath against Republicans soon after
Nelson Dingley died. He has done
more for the Democracy of Maine
since that date. than all the other
Democratic press of the State.
Now Editor Dingley would join
with Progressive" Obadiah Gardner
in demand for Progressive Republi-
can support. Just watch his happy
way of going about it-and it was
only back to mid November that he
was saying: H.tF
"The Silent Government may final
Iy force on US Obadiah's plan.'
In those days he was describing
obadiahs "Progressiveness" as fol
lows:
"Obadiah Gardner wanted the ma
ton to buy out the express business
at a cost of millions of watered
stock"
without the cracking of single
brain cell, the Lewiston Journal can
tell Progressives why it is their duty
to defeat a Republican who was
nominated with them in the prim
aries who fought to elect them in
the campaign: and who joined his
forces with those of Republicans and
Progressives alike, to defeat a COM
mon foe.
The Lewiston Journal, in the same
Uttered and incoherent verbiage, can
tell Progressiyes why it is their duty
to re-elect the Progressive" Obadiah
Gardner, who stands for the buying
of millions of watered stock"
Leave it to Editor Dingley.

Editorial Comment
The Meat of the Question.
belfast Republican Journal

tBeIfast RepubIlcan JOurnaI.)
The papers, especially the Demo-
cratic papers, and their ally, the
Lewiston Journal, have had great
deal to say for weeks past concern
ing the election of a United States
Senator at the coming session of the
Maine Legislature. The following
editorial from the Brunswick Record
seems to say all that is necessary on
the subject.
The remarkable controversy among
members of the Progressive, party in
Legislature in voting for a United States
Senator is important only in the posi-
bility that the principle of the primary
| may be defeated. There was no Progress
sive party when the Senatorial prmar,
/ was held, and none OF the members O

the Legislature were elected as Progress
Sives. They were elected either as Re
publicans or Democrats, and as such are
bound to carry out the will of the voters
as expressed in the primaries. If a mem
her elected as Republican finds that he
can no longer act with that party, and
wishes to become identified with a new
party, wouldn't it be more honorable for
him to resign and stand for reelection
than 10 change his politics while in office ?
The excuses offered for going back on the
primary nominations are based on the
November election but that had no effect
on the complexion of the Maine Legisla-
ture, nor did 1T remove amy obligations
incurred in the State campaign.

The timely yowling of cat at
the home of Alexander Wilson in Bid
deford, Saturday night, states the
Biddeford Record, was the means of
apprising the household that the
dwelling was on fire, thus preventing
much larger property loss and pos
sible serious results to the sleeping
occupants of the house of which there
were three. Soon after IL O'Clock,
Saturday evening, Miss Annie Wilson
who, with sister, Mrs. Jane Kilgore,
and a brother, Alexander Wilson, oc-
cupies the house, was awakened by
the household pet, cat, which, COM
ing to her room, began to yowl in the
fashion cats have when they wish to
be let out. This the cat was in the
habit of doing. but on Saturday night
the noise made was unlike that of
previous occasions and Miss Wilson
decided that the animal did not want
to be let out, and was doing off to
sleep, when, with a spring, the cat
was on the bed clawing and yowling
in a frightful manner. So fierce was
her attack that before Miss Wilson
could prevent, the clothing was near
ly dragged from the bed. This de-
cided Miss Wilson that if she wished
to sleep the cat must be cared for, SO
the animal was consigned to the cell
lar On returning to her room, was
about to retire when she thought she
smelled burning wood, and, on look
ing about her room, found it was
rapidly filling with smoke. Miss
Wilson then aroused her brother and
sister and the latter quickly pulled
