Maine,s Third District.


The Maine newspapers, whether in or out
of the third congressional district, make
II plain that an interesting and significant
campaign is in progress there. The cleo
tion OF the successor OF the late Congress-
mar Goodwin il nearly q month away, bu;
things are getting warm and warmer every
day.
And beyond question the early con-
fidence of the democrats that they would
be able to elect their candidate, w. r.
Pattsngail, as result OF the divided OPP
position, il being sadly shaken. To begin
with, there are many democrats. the better
element OF their party, who will bolt
Pattangsllor refuse to go TO the polls.
But the chief element in the situation Is
the dwindling of the progressive strength
and the return OF the Roosevelt voters of
last fall into the RANKS OF the regular
republicans who are supporting John A.
Peters, of Ellsworth, the speaker OF the
Maine House. The weakness OF the pro-
gressive cause in Maine this year is that
most of ii leaders are .ssore- heads" who
see chance to crafty a grudge agains,
their former party, but the rank and file
consider the Taft and Roosevelt contro-
versy as settled and are unwilling to be-
come tant-democrats There is now
no difference in principles.
MIR. Peters asked Mr.. Lawrence, the
progressive nominee, TO enter joint pri-
mary OF republicans and progressives, the
loser and his followers to support the
winner, SO that there would be only one
candidate against Mr.. Pattangail. This
Mr.. Lawrence refused to do, though last
fall the progressives cast IL, 33o votes in
the district, and the republicans 7,15a.
The municipal elections OF last spring
showed the ebbing of the progressive
tide. In Augusta, for example, they held
only one-sixth of their strength OF the fall
before. In other places, less.
Many OF the prominent Rooseselt men
are working on republican city and town
committees for Peters. In one town
where Taft had only thirty-six votes and
Roosevelt 14l, sixty OF the sixty-tive men
questioned by a local merchant, as they
entered his store one day, declared them
selves for Peters.
The progressive ticket will be poor
third throughout the i've counties, and
the only question is whether it will poll
enough votes 10 elect the democratic can
didate. 1t is fight that will be watched
with keen interest all over the country.

is Ii Significant

In view of the remarkable change
OF sentiment manifested everywhere
since the national election, change
shown in state and municipal cleo
tions, where the republican party has
thrown vote nearly up to the nor
NAL and the third party vote has de-
creased tremendously-in some cases
almost to the vanishing point, it is by
no means strange that the report
should come out from Washington,
and seemingly be given credeuce by
leading statesmen, that Col. Roose-
welt is laying his plans for the repub-
Hcan presidential nomination in 1915.
Col. Roosevelt is doubtless well
aware that the third party movement
has gone into decline, and one from
which ii is not likely to come back.
Most of the men who voted for
Roosevelt last fall were and are re-
publicans. They hold republican
tenets, and believe in republican poll
cies. They differed with other
members of their party upon the per-
sonaiity of the candidate, but this is
all over now. They, at least the rank
and file, do not wish to be regarded
as distinct from the republican party.
They are a part of 1t, and will sup
port it's candidates and oppose the
democracy, as they have done in the
past.
This statement is susceptible of
proof in every community in the
third district where the special cleo
tion for Congress is to be held in
September, and every man can easily
prove it for himself. Glance over the
Hat Of men who voted the third party
ticket in your community, and you
will and the vast majority Of them
supporting John A. Peters for Con-
gress.
Inversely you win not find any
desertions from the republican col
umn OF last fall to the third party to,
day. The drift is all one way. ant
doubtless this is true In other states
Indeed, 10 has been proven 90 II
states that have held elections. And
why is it unlikely that Roosevelt

Elsewhere in this issue we print, as
nearly in full as space will permit,
Mr.. Peters speech at Gardiner last
Monday evening. For elearness,
comprehensiyeness and logical aca-
men, this address Is a masterpiece; II
should be carefully read. The real
issues of this campaign and their tre-
mendous Importance are well set forth
and ably discussed. Every attack on
the position of the republican party is
boldly met, and reasons set forth why
anti democrats should vote for him
and beat Pattangall, rather than vote
for Lawrence and thus assist in elect
ing Pattangall.

Mr.. Peters, and the Labor Interests.
The attitude of Mr.. Peters towards
the labor interests has been Incl
dentally referred to il this campaign,
and generally in way of approval, but
occasionally it is criticized by those
not conversant with the facts.
A week or so ago letter was pub
lished, written by Roscoe A. Eddy,
of Bar Harbor, setting forth in con-
siderable detail his view Of Mr.. Peters
record on labor legislation.
Mr.. Eddy's review covers the three
sessions of which Mr.. Peters has been
member of the House. Here are
some extracts from his letter:
..He supported every measure that we in
troduced during this [lsoel session sndT In
addition to his support on the floor Of the
House, rendered US much assistance in draft
ing new laws"
.sMr. Peters. at this session. wrote and
introduced an employers liability measure
that, had IL become law, would have been OF
more benefit to the working people than the
one now in force."
Many other laws henentting labor wers
passed during this session.

rendered much assistance in their passage

Was He Misquoted2

Aug. ii, 1913.
To the Editor Of The American:
/ notice that IN your issue OF last week
you made this statement: "Mr. Lawrence
was in Ellsworth last week and was re-
ported to have said that he did not expect
to be elected to Congress"
/ made no such statement. Neither did
make any remark which could be in any
way interpreted to contain any such mean
ing. On the contrary, in the preliminary
canvass which / have already made in
Hancock county and the other four eoun-
ties which go to make up the third dis
convinced that not only is my candidacy
leading that OF the republican candidate,
in many places two to one, but that have
q very good chance OF election.
OF the majority in this district of 81 900
which stands opposed to democracy, be-
lieve that the progressives viii cast at
least two-thirds OF the vote.
Believing in your entire fairness in the
matter, trust you will publish my denial
OF the statement above quoted rs con-
spicuousiy as you published the statement
itself. Very truly,
E. NJ. LAWRENCE.
This letter, dated Aug. IL, was re-
ceived at this office on the morning
OF Aug. IA; the cancelling stamp on
the envelope reads: "Waterville,
Me-, Aug. IS, Q p. m" 1t appeared
In the Lewiston Journal of Thursday,
Aug. IL.
Waving the question of ethics
involved in making public a per-
sonal letter without the assent
of the person to whom 1t 10 ad-
dressed, we may say that the
statement made by THE AMERICAN
in its issue of Aug. 6, was based on
the report Of a conversation between
Mr.. Lawrence and a reputable citizen
OF Ellsworth, and overheard by an
other. During this conversation,
which covered many topics, includ-
ing politics, Mr.. Lawrence, in pre-
dieting the result of the election, ex-
pressed the utmost confidence that
he would run ahead of Mr.. Peters;
he predicted that Mr. Pattangall
would get $4,000 votes, that he Mr..
Lawrencel would get 10000, and that
Mr.. Peters would get 5000.
On the strength of this statement
our informant told the editor of THE
AMERICAN that Mr.. Lawrence had
said that he ibid not expect to be
elected''. Mr.. Lawrence is doubtless
correct In denying that he used the
words quoted.
But If he used the figures as above
quoted, as our informant says he did,
we leave 1t to all who read this to de-
termine whether or not Mr.. Lawrence
is justified in saying as he does in the
above letter: Neither did / make
any remark which could be in amy
way interpreted to contain any such
meaning"
The name of our informant Ia with
held for reasons which we think Mr..
Lawrence himself viii approve; he
himself can have it, however, at any
time.
The suggestion of Mr.. Lawrence as
to the result OF his canvass in this
vicinity is rather amusing in the light
of the fact that the sentiment for Mr..
Peters is overwhelming. and exceeds
that of the other two candidates COM
bined.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1913-08-20

Lawrence gives Pattangall II 600;
himself 10000, and Peters 5000. And
yet he loses his temper when some
one reports him as saying that he
doesn't expect to be elected.

HAS IRON ORE

DARLINGTON, N. D May l9.-Iron
ore has been discovered In Johnson
township about fourteen miles south.
east of Carringt0nii and for some time
u quiet prospecting has been carried
on. The ore was found IN the ridge
OF hills along the James river, on the
east half o. section 2l-l45.G4, owned
by y. NJ. Clark.
Mr.. Clark carried on the prospect
ing quietly and finally got in touch
with an experienced iron ore miner
who had put in a life time at the
work. The gentlemen came to Foster
county, looked over the situation and
made a deal with Mr.. Clark to go to
work on the prospect, with the under.
standing that he was to receive an in
teres1 in the property II ore In mer-
charitable qualities was found; other
wise his time and work was TO be a
donation.
No definite word a. to conditions at
the embryo mine have been received
at Darlington, and the matter can only
be considered rs a prospect at pres
ent.
1t has long been known that Ignite
coal existed in the Jim river hills and
a few have had an inkling that iron
ore also was present. Lack Of rail
way facilities has SO far interfered
with the development of either pros

JURY awarded A

jamestown, n. d., May 49, The

ton proceedings brought by The Mid
land Continental railroad. The case
went to the jury at supper time FRI
day and at $40 "A. IN. Saturday the
jury agreed upon the amount, sealed
their verdict and retired for the night.
The testimony OF witnesses cSti-
mated the damage to the farm at from
50 1000 to 10000, and the jury Wa
quite at variance in its discussion Of
Il Verdica, almost the extremes Of lr%-
timony being represented in the jury.
However, the low men came up and
the high men down and the cOmprO'
mise was effected at the amount stat.
ed, ST., l25.00.
Some AZ acres were desired by tn"
railroad company for right Of way
thru the 1000 acre farm. An attempt
was made to amend the complaint and
to ask for a larger area at the begin
ming Of the suit in district court but
this was not permitted and the orig
inal right of way was asked for.
The suit was of the largest
which has been tried in court in con.
demnation proceedings in the state.
