The "Party of Economy"

Democratic Congress will exceed a
billion dollars. This does not accord
with the eternal declaration of the
Democracy that 1t is the party OF
economy. Furthermore, the self
styled party of economy is running
short on revenue about 100000 day.
The most extrayagant Congress in the
country's history and it is running

that the Democracy is not truly the

such is merely psychological.

OF crime led to a strong revulsion of
feeling against the party. Now the
same leaders with a new figure head
who outspokenly announces his allie
glance to the rum cause, pretends to
have encouragement that it is coming
back because the rum traffic has been
restrained; that the personal liberty
of the voters has been interfered with.
This is not true. The campaign
spiurge Of Democracy to possibly win
through the Progressive tax on Repub-
lican strength and direct assault
upon Governor Haines, has been sized
up by intelligent citizens. Frank ad-
missions by square men of the party
leave no room for doubt. These men
have no desire for a return of beer

The only Campaign speech" Cover
nor Haines is making is the telling of
plain story of his administration.
He stands uupon his record, and no
state in the Union can show a better
financial itemized bill. Governor
Haines is showing the people that
practically the entire amount of the
four mills State tax goes back to the
people for the support of schools and
educational institutions, and that the
State government is run on corpora
ton tax money.
Candidate Curtis, on the contrary, is
telling the people that they need the
revenue from rum license to support
their schools, and they know just what
to expect of the Democratic party.

What to Do With License Revenue.

Oakley Curtis of Portland says he
favors high license because we need
the money for our schools; he says he
wants the revenue from the sale of
rum in order that school money may
be more easily obtained. His plan is
to eeualize taxation in this way, for
he believes it unfair that any part of
the taxes of the cities should be ap-
propriated for use in rural schools. He
is apparently disgruntled because ii is
asked of Portland to spend a few PEN
MES in the smaller towns. What
statesmaniike plan! In this way. you
see, by collecting taxes from a rum
seller, it would be possible to found
the education of your children upon
rum. The local barkeepers tax would
pay teachers salary. Splendid! Vote
for Curtis and have rum placed under
the children's eyes, placed where youth
may obtain it, and then tell them that
their education depends upon rum, too.
Why not support the churches on rum
revenue? Why not provide maps of
the Holy Land and historical data from
the field where Christ lived, for Sun
day School classes, with rum money?
That would be Candidate Curtis idea
of progress. Do you approve of it? If
you do, why vote the Democratic tick
ct. for you know just what to expect
Of the Democratic party" if elected.
