There have been no honest men since.
There never will be an honest man
again. who does not humor the per-
verted conceptions of the Lewiston
Dingley remains this side the pearly
gates.
No man who refuses to be bossed
and patronized by the Ell Jay center
of everything; to be impressed with
the Dingley doctrine that nothing
matters but the fact Of one existence,
can be anything but a boss" or a
tory" with their various sub CLASH
fications of thief, liar, hypocrit, idiot
and polygot of cussedness.
Every day of the year for Is years
the people of Maine have been doused
with the mui from the squirt gun that
spouts hyphenation such as "Penrose-
Barnes Bailey -Aldrich- Burleigh- Hale
Cannon" etc, without end. And yet
a Barnes, a Penrose or Cannon is a
paragon Of virtue when compared in
public acts with the daily output of
lying and hypocrisy, the deliberate de-
ceit, of the self made and self -pervert-
ed tradueer OF men.
Honest men with the courage of
their convictions will live again when
bigoted hypocrites go hence.

lie All Honesty Dead7

The progressive and republican
county organizations of New York
city have agreed, to fuse on all can
didates for Congress, the Senate and
Assembly south of the Fourteenth
district They will also combine on
Gustav Hartman as a candidate for
municipal court justice. BY COM
bining in this district where Tammany
has its strongest grip the two parties
to the alliance hope to make an
impression of which neither would
have any hope If working alone. If
the result is what it has been under
Haines and Burleigh and Peters in
Maine, fusion will change the place
but keep the pain. The republican
party will not attract those who
want good government, SO long as
the party is directly or indirectly
bossed by such as Cannon, Barnes,
Penrose and Burleigh or their echoes.

Public Utilities Commission

The people of Maine are over
whelmingly in favor of the Public
Utilities law There can be no doubt
about that. The blatant organs pro-
itecting selfish interests are under
stood by the voters. The Lewiston
Journal Pattangall combine to delay
anyway, and to defeat If possible, by
referendum, has evoked a singing
trebuke. The Legislature and Gov
ernor Haines have been approved.
The people of Maine apparently pre-
fer a court" of business men who
are lawyers of highest standing in
their profession, and in the respect
and confidence of the people, who
will know exactly how to proceed
and how to secure expert assistance,
to a commission" made up Of bust
ness men who would be obliged 10
hire legal advisers for every move.
Governor Haines interprets the
laws intent as such. He has decided
to name a new commission of the
ablest legal men of Maine. He will
select three men of highest ability
and unquesitoned integrity. He would
like TO name Hon. Edward w. Wheel
er OF Brunswick, as a member of this
commission but cannot because of the
provisions of the eonstitution-Mr.
Wheeler is a member of the Council.
But the Governor will name Hon.
william B. Shelton Of Lewiston, and
Hon. Samuel W. Gould of Skowhe-
gan. The other member had not
been fully decided upon Thursday
afternoon.
Applications are many and friends
are urging the names Of able and re-
spected men. To save further trouble
on the part of candidates and their ae-
tive supporters, the Governor will APP
point at once. AS soon as legal re-
quirenents can be complied with
three lawyers will be appointed. That
is the verdict Of the people and the
Governor.

Editorial Comment.
The Election in Maine.

New Bedford Evening Standard).
The Wilson administration will doubt
less derice comfort from the election in
NAME where the Democratic nominee,
GURUS has defeated the Republican con-
aldate' Governor Haines, by about $500
votes and superficial observers, noting
only that Democrat succeeds a Repub-
lcan at the head Of the state govern
ment will argue that the national ad-
mlnistration has been endorsed, and that
the result in Maine is an augury of
Democratic success at the November
elections throughout the country.
Allowing the Democrats all the salts
FACTION they can derive from the vote, we
would point out that all that has been
proved in Maine is that a party split in
TWO Is not so strong as one united. Two
years ago Haines defeated Plaisted. his
Democratic opponent, by 1895 votes
There was no Progressive candidate
RMS year the Progressives nominated a
candidate who poTled some 1850 votes
Most of these must have been secured at
the expense of the Republicans, and in
sured the defeat of the Republican
nominee. In this respect the Maine Pro-
of Progressives in nearly every state and
dlstrict-that of dividing the old time
Republican vote and giving victory to
the Democrats.
In any state election it is folly to at
tempt to trace the result to purely ma
uonal causes. Local issues played a con-
spicuous part in the Maine vote, and it is
impossible to separate the two. 1t will
be noticed that the States congressional
delegation remains the same-three Re-
publicans and one Democrat, although in
every district the Progressives made
nominations while in 1912 they did not.
Il is a sign of the weakness of the Pro-
gressiye party in Maine, and conversely
of the strength of the Republican. that
while the Bull Moosers succeeded in de-
livering the State government to the
Democrats, they were unable to reduce
the Republicans congressional delega-
ton.

Campaign Managers

The Republicans of Maine will not
forget the debt they owe to Col. F.
H. Parkhurst of Bangor, the chairman
Of the Republican State committee,
and his associates upon that and 9TH
err committees which has just ended.
Their devotion to their work and the
clean and manly way in which they
carried on the campaign entities them
to respect. These men have won the
confidence Of the party which intrusted
its affairs in their hands and they
have inspired a wholesome fear in the
hearts of their opponents as valiant
fighters, even against great odds.

Unfair Campaign Methods
portland Press)

By the liberal use of the hyphen
in coupling the names of certain Re-
publican politicians outside of Maine
with the names of men who are iden-
tifiefid with the party in the State, the
Lewiston Journal has been conducting
an unwarranted campaign to promote
the cause of the Progressive party.
While personal attacks of this kind
may be in accord with the policy Of
the Progressive organ they cannot
appeal to the sense of Justice and fair
play of all of it's readers. There were
principles at stake in the election
which were of far greater Importance
to the people of Maine than the per-
sonal fortunes of any individual and
these the Lewiston Journal lost sight
of in it's malicious and spiteful attacks
upon a few men. The Republican
party is greater in Maine than any
one man, or group of men. Its pol
icies are shaped by every voter in the
party attending the primary elections,
and it's organization and candidates
are the choice of the rank and file of
the party and not of few leaders
Every unwarranted personal attack
which the Lewiston Journal makes is
an insult to the honest electorate in
the Republican party and when the
Progressive voters come to analyze the
motives for these attacks, We believe
that they will lose what little faith
they may still retain in the organ
which INDUCES in such campaign
methods.
Before the special election in the
Third district a year ago the Pro-
progressive leaders and the Lewiston
Journal repeatedly claimed that
Lawrence can be elected, Peters
can't" Before Mondays election it
was again stated that Gardner can
be elected, Haines can't" Those who
made these pre- election claims knew
that they were false. The Third dis
trict Progressives of a year ago could
not be led astray a second time, and
SO Peters was reelected by a largely
increased plurality. There were some
Progressives in other parts of the
| State who had faith in the claims
their leaders made, and so assisted
in making a Democratic victory pos
| sible. 1t is not reasonable to suppose
that these men can again be led
astray by false prophets.

Richard Legion of Bath was row.
ing his boat up through the rushing
waters of the Upper Hell Gate the
other day when along came party of
summer young people in a motor
boat. AS the summer folk merrily
passed the Bath fisherman in his
small boat they called out to him
gaily asking how he liked navigation
in boat propelled by Arm
strong motor power. He took all
the chaff. pulling slowly up through
the gate and the motor boat party was
soon lost to view as 1t skinned on
toward Bath. But after passing the
gate and rowing on a mile or so he
came upon the same boating party
hung up in their boat with ton or SO
of eel grass twisted around the shaft
OF the wheel, unable to go or come.
How do you like motor boats?''
called out Dick. Going into camp
over there for the summer" he added
But the merriment of the summer
people has been dispelled by their ac-
cident and they begged the Arm
strong power" boat to come to their
reecue and tow them up the stream
At first Dick thought he would pun
ish them by leaving the party to it's
fate, but finally yielded to their en-
treaties and towed the smart motor
boat for a two-dollar bill up to Ar
rowsic bridge. 1t illustrated the old
fable OF the tortoise and the hare.

Hon. Harold NJ. and Mrs. Sewall
left In their car Tuesday afternoon
for their Small Point summer home,
where Mr.. Sewall will enjoy a rest
at the seaside and recover from his
hard campaign, says the Bath Times.
Before leaving Mr.. Sewall remarked
to Times man that he had fought
the campaign just as hard and per-
sistently as If he had felt dead sure
of winning, which he did not. he said,
at any period of the game. He
saw at an early period of the cam
paign that the question of rum or no
rum was a leading issue, over
shadowing the real political and ma
tional issues, which former issue he
as well as Hal Gardner believe
should be considered in an election
separate from State election and
further, Mr.. Sewall discovered that
there was danger in the Progressive
vote up the district, as proved to be
the case. Mr. Sewall said that he
would rather be defeated leading the
Republican side of this campaign,
than win on the Democratic side. he
said that now he was glad it was
over and that he was delighted to
get down to Small Point, where he
had hardly been all summer long.

Peter Nelson, a Rockland seaman
on the u. s. S. North Carolina, says
the Rockland Courier Gazette, writes
from Falmouth, England. under the
date Of Aug. 80, as follows: ION
the 22d while we were in Cher
bourg, France, 1900 German pris-
oners were brought in. The Sisters
of Mercy went into their camp with
writing material. so they could write
home, and we saw a German officer
strike one of them in the face. SO
guess what we see in the papers
about German brutality is correct,
for IL an officer will do anything like
that what can be expected of the
men under him? l served 3 years and
s months in the Philippine Islands
and / never saw anything like that
during the war. We sail for Tur-
key, and / believe our destination is
Smyrna. We have lost one man
from Bright's disease. but everybody
else is in good health"
