Do You Sanction These Methods?

We have referred to Progressive Eek
aggerations" in some parts of the
State. We know that such extrava-
CANT claims are counseled and encour-
aged by Democratic leaders. We have
good reason to believe that the Pro-
gressive campaign is largely funded
from Democratic sources. We know
that the Democratic machine is just
as solieitous for Progressive gains as
they are for their own. And we know
that deliberate Misrepresentation of
fact are being put out to mislead the
rank and file of the Progressive party.
so that they may think they are serv-
voting their party ticket; that they
may be encouraged to believe they
have a chance to win against Demo-
cracy, and that the Republican vote
is not to be large enough to figure in
the contest.
That is the hypocrisy of campaigh
plan put up by Demo-P Progressive poll
iticians to score a Democratic vic
tory, if the voters do not awake to it.
These astute leaders know that in
Maine are thousands of men who be-
lieve in protection. in prohibition, IN
enforcement of lawn Republican
principles generally; that these voters
will vote with the Republican or the
Progressive party. whichever one they
can be made to believe stands the best
show of defeating Democracy with it's
scanty tariff and plenteous rum pro-
gram.
Thus the determination to fool as
many voters as possible into believing
that Progressives are as strong or
stronger than Republicans. There lies
the hope of Democracy. To effect the
first step in the deceit is to name
large Progressive" committees tmade
up largely of men who have never Civ
en- permission to use their names and
who never had thought of voting the
Progressive ticket). The next step is to
claim everything in sight.
OF the latter here is a striking spec
linen: The Hon. Halbert p Gardner
has made the statement, in public
speeches and in writing, that every
voter in the town of Hersey is Pro-
gressive. This statement is true in
that Republicans there are as pro-
gressdve with small "p") as are
their Progressive brethren But Mr.
Gardner has gone much farther than
That by declaring that there is not
Republican or a Democrat in the town
of Hersey and that every voter there
will vote the Progressive ticket on
election day. Just how much faith the
rank and file of the Progressive party
should found on those statements may
be seen from these facts. A gentle
man whose word will not be
questioned by men Of any party
(and he is known throughout the
State) has taken the trouble to per-
sonally investigate. Read an excerpt
from his letter to friend as to what
he found in the town of Hersey. And
bear in mind that If any question
arises among Progressives as to the
authority of this letter the writer's
name will be made public and it will
confound Progressive leaders claims
Before giving his words. however
we should state that Hon. Bertram L
smith was consulted by the Progress
siYes as to the appointment of ballot

Tide to DreamIand.

Over the tide is Dreamland,
1t is only little way
The sea of Sleep IS smooth and deep
And safe in the dusk of day.
1t is such restful voyage
To the land of Dreams, nv child: -
There the fairies stay and sing and play
In the fields where they just run wild
Ho, for the voyage to Dreamland!
My arms, Sweetheart, for a bark
Now close your eyes while the daylight
dies
And go ere the night grows dark
Drifting away in the twilight,
There is nothing, my child, to fear;
It's safe, safe trip, in a harm-proof
ship,
And Love is your pilot. Dear,
Good-by to this day of trouble,
Good-by to the Games that tried
To tire; they kept right on till crept
You here TO my arms and cried,
The boat has carried you over:
Now wrapped in dreams delight
You are safe, | know-and love you sol
Good night, Sweetheart, good night,

ing opinion, that for sanitary reasons,
it is good plan to have pigs penned
