THAT the Democrats failed in the
Yes and NO campaign of 1911 to
enter into any full and free discus
sion of the issues Involved and that
since then the Democrats have re-
fused to abide by the results of that
campaign and have failed to enforce
the prohibitory law were the charges
made by Hon Benedict F. Maher of
Augusta. the principal speaker at
largely attended and enthusiastic rally
in this town. Thursday evening Judge
Maher, who was a. resubmiasion Re-
publican in the 1911 campaign. voiced
his dissatisfaction with the Demo
cratic performances from the stand
point of an honest resubmissionist and
his indictment of the Democratic
party for its falsehoods and sophistry
was fully as scathing as any that has
been made from other view points.
He said in part.
Causes of Overturn Of 1910.
To form any. accurate estimate of
the real standard of worth. work and
merit of the Democratic administra-
ton now bidding for approval, not on
facile promises but real performance.
the voters should clearly and calmly
guage the real proximate cause of the
political overturn of 1910.
You want to regard not the accident
which contributed. not the circum-
stance which attended. not the failacy
which seeks to explain. but the real
major. basic cause of that revolution
and then test Democracy by the way
it has met the issue. and by what it
has actually done and really left UNI

serious as faults of commission.

craven crawl of the coward in public.
as I'm private life, that ultimately wins
the contempt that is its due. Above,
beyond and over all the dominant
issue of 1910 was to my mind dis
satisfaction from one angle or anoth-
er with the Prohibitory Law!
Democracy had charged, and truly
charged, Republican notification IN
various sections. With theme,
which struck great popular chord.

Democratic Speakers All Deny That PIais-

Resubmissionists Are Disguised
With Democratic FaISehOods.
GOODWIN AT cAsTINE.

Castine, Me-, Aug. 29-(SpeciaD.--
er, last evening, at a splendid rally
here. Republicans turned out and
brought along many of their Democrat
ic friends. They were ready to listen to
q fair and candid speaker and ex
pressed indignation. before and after
the meeting. at some OF the barefaced
statements made here by Democratic
speakers.
1t is certain that Democratic speak
ers, one and all, who have come in
to the small towns in this part of the
State, have overshot the mark. They
have been foolish enough to deny that
plaisted ever promised TO enforce the
law.
From PGttangall down to Obadiah
Gardner these Democratic spelIbind-
ers nave emphatically declared that
Flaisted has never given his hearers
to understand that he would enforce
the law.
But the people of even the small
towns have memories. They know
what they have heard Governor Plais-
ted himself say, and they haye news
paper clippings in their serap-books Of
his utteranees, from the campaign OF
1910, his inaugural address, ano since.
They are Disguised with such brazen
attempts to deceive for the sake of a
few votes
One Democrat said frankly, and
more forcibly than would look well in
print. IF | hadn't heard Plaisted bell
low his declaration that he Was going
to be Governor and II we didn't want
the laws enforced we better not vote
for him, | might have believed these
lies. but | know better. The few
things l do know | am pretty sure oil.
and one of them is that Fred Plaisted
gave me and my neighbors to under
stand that the laws We're To be en- :
forced as they never had been before.
He said he didn't believe in prolfibiti-
ton and he proposed to show that Il
the law was enforced Maine would re-
peal the law. Now ho whines that he
can't enforce the law and never prom
Used to enforce It.
''It is the cheapest gang of fakirs
and -fushers that ever disgraced
a State. I'd as soon vote for Harry
Thaw as for Fred Plaisted again |

the Pattangall- Plaisted gang, but II
my party ever gets around to name
honest business men or farmers for
State Offices / shall be glad to vote
with it again.
Praise for Goodwin's Fairness.
Democrats as well as Republicans
praised Mr.. Goodwin for his fairness
and plain. honest handling of State
issues.
Mir. Goodwin also dealt with nation
al questions, particularly with The tar
if and reciprocity. He recalled to the
minds of the middle generation and
the older, the days of the Wilson tarif1
bill and the resultant stagnation OF

Anxiety for Situation in
Managua--Marines Are On Way.

there is no technical difference be-
tween the khaki-clad soldier and the
marine or bluejacket when employed
as landing force in a foreign eoun-
try But there is a public sentiment
which invariably associates the land
ing of soldiers with actual warfare
and a 'peyInanency of purpose. On the
other hand, marines and bluejackets
are so frequently called upon for the
most temporary and exigent service
as to excite little comment.
From a military point of view, it is
said at the state department., the
only effect of the Presidents action
of, last night, will be to slightly re-
tard the assembly of a sufficient
American force in Nicaragua to in
sure the maintenance of communica-
ton between the American legation in
Managua and the WaIships at Corinto,
72 miles away
1t is not believed that American
interests or lives will be in great dan
ger for The next two or three days,
especially as knowledge of the purpose
of the United States to use any nee
essary amount of force to accomplish
the purposes announced by Minister
Weitzel is fully known to the rebel
leaders.

ginning to report their arrival in
