A Great Victory.

(Boston Heraid,)


The victory of John A. Peters III the
third congressional district OF Maine Is
the most notable political event IN THIS
country since the election OF president
Wilson last November. 1t checks with
firm hand the march of Democratic
success, issues sharp warning 10 the
administration at Washington that the
Republican policy of protection has not
been repudiated, and cries to every
Progressive in the country the lesson OF
the past year in American politics.
Mr.. Peters won because those VINO

he Democratic administration and its

the Democratic administration and it's
policies. 1t will be regarded as
great triumph for the principle of
protective tariff and as a vigorous
protest against the final enactment of
the pending tariff bill. An anti
Democratic majority of almost seven
thousand shows what the Third dis
trict thinks of President Wilson and
his policies.
More than this the election Of Mr..
Peters shows that the Republican par
ty in Maine has come back to stay. 1t
shows that over fifty per cent of the
Republicans who voted for Roosevelt
last November are now satisfied that
the Republican party of Maine is pro-
gressive enough for them and that il
can be safely trusted to give them the
kind of candidates and the kind of
government they demand These Re
publicans voted for Roosevelt in No
vember, as the Press has repeatedly
claimed not with an intention of per-
manently leaving the Republican party
but because they admired the former
President and wished to rehuke the
national leaders of the party who
were reaetionary in character. The
election also shows that all hope of
the Progressive party becoming the
chief rival of the Democratic party in
this state is dead. 1t has served its
purpose n useful one perhaps, but II
has outlived it's usefulness in Maine
Its disintegration as paltry of intiu-
ence in this State is now only ques-
ton of time.

sThsJessons of The Election.

The lessons of the Third district
campaign, and election just passed are
several and important. We consider
that of first Importance, the reinforce
ment of the common knowledge that
Republicans and Progressives must
stand together or Democratic victories
will continue. and legislation be en-
acted to which both factions are OPP
posed
Progressives have now no possible
hope of drawing strength from the
ranks of Democracy. If they were
ever to win or TO be more than small
and Ineffective party of opposition,
denunciation and discomfort they must
acquire at least 10 TO 80 per cent. Of
the Republican party. What, then, is
the advantage of change of name /?
Why not take possession of the Re-
publican party, if they have the votes
and by these votes and voice control ?
Why not name the candidates in the
primaries and dictate legislation?
The Republican party has once more
demonstrated its power to come
back" and its friendliness toward Pro-.
gressives. Leaders and rank and file
are ready TO meet their former broth
), ers on any fair and sensible ground
They are ready to be progressive; they
are progressive. They are ready to
share the honors; they are willing to
take the firing line in any contest with
the common enemy.
No amount of sneering and abuse
by certain selfish and vengefui inter-
ests can drive the great majority of
the Republican party to take new
name They are ready for all that is
modern and onward n government
policies and moral advancement. but
they are NOT ready 10 discard the
party name that stands in the history
of nations greater than that of any
other.
Give US your advanced policies and
lead us under our grand old banner

today.

| this country third party of sufficien
numerical strength to prove something
more than the mere eats paw of thu
; Democratic party, though the thiro
party differed practically not at al
from the Republican party in its fun
, damental principles.
To these sincere men the Republican
party, with its splendid record of prog
ress and constructive craftsmanship
extends a warm welcome. 1t invites
them to step again into the ranks OF
that mighty and virile organization
and with it to press onward toward
the goal of human betterment and OF
social and industrial uplift.
The result of this election is of spe-
cal interest to these men. In its in
forming light we believe that hence
forth they will be found in increasing
numbers in the Republican ranks, aid
ing in the movement for true progress
rather than trigging its wheels. They
will make use of the only effective in
realized.
OF interest in this connection are the
following extracts from the admirable
statements of Mr.. Peters and of Col.
Parkhurst.
Mr. Peters:
Il regard the result of the election
as a signal triumph, not only for the
Republican principles of protection,
but also for the new liberal Republi-
canism. l believe it to be entirely pos
sible to harmonic and unite the anti
Democratic strength
The differences between the Pro-
sressive and regular Republicans are
not fundamental but more difference
of opinion as to how the same princi-
piles should be administered. 1 believe
the Maryland plan of amalgamating
the two branches can be carried out in
Maine, especially as many of the Pro-
gresSiVe leaders are broadminded and
liberal in their views and | do not be-
liexe that the rank and file have been
permanently alienated.
Col. Parkhurst:
Il appeal to those Progressives who
voted for MIR. Lawrence. to come back
into the Republican party and join US
in an earnest effort to guide our party
in support of the advanced and liberal
policies for which it stands. | believe
that the Republican party is the best
instrument with which to give effect
