the rocks. Will his followers elect Cur

Demooraey's Humble Pie,

In the face of the greatest financial
panic the country has ever known, the
Democratic party in Congress had to
turn back to the Republican currency
law to avert financial disaster Never,
perhaps, did great party in complete
control of all the branches Of Govern
ment ever eat such humble pie as did
the Democrats when they asked the
Congress to use the terms of the Vree-
land-Aldrich currency bill to save the
country from panic.
For five years the Vreeland Aldrich
currency bill has been the favorite
source of criticism by the Democrats.
They attacked 1t from every side. Yet
when they came to pass their own
Glass-Owen currency bill for the pur-
pose of preventing nanies, they en-
bodied therein the essential features of
the very measure which they had at
tackled.
Scores of times on the floor of both
the House and Senate Democrats de-
clared the Glass Owen bill would rem
der panic impossible. Democratic
and declared measure had finally
been found to put an end to panics.
The Democratic press followed with
fulsome praise of the proposed panic
panacea.
Then the Democrats passed the
Glass Owen I'll.
That had been law for eight
months, but organization under 1t had
not been affected, Then the great
European war comes on. European
stocks and bonds were dumped on
America. The country was seized
with financial fear. Something had to
be done. 1t was reported that the
Democratic Glass-Owen bill which had
been SO widely heralded could not be
put into working effect for 80 days
more. Yet in that 80 days business
might be paralyzed. The situation was
critical. Their eight months old cur
reney bill could not do the business.
The President and his secretary of the
treasury knew it. They We're grasping
fer a relief measure. The fact was
forced upon them. that the old Repub-
lican Vreeland-Aidrich measure was
their only salvation. So, with bitter
reluctance, they asked Congress to use
it's provisions to save the country. Con-
gress did and the panic was averted

Good Government in Maine and in New
York.

Good Government in Maine and in New
York.
Ex-President Roosevelt wants good
government in New York and for that
reason he indorses Mr.. Human, Re-
publican candidate for nomination. Mr.
Roosevelt not only Endorses him EN-.
phatically, but asks all good citizens
to join with him in support of Mr.
Human and states that he himself will
vote for him even if a regularly nomi-
mated enrolled Progressive is candi-
date, He knows that good government,
in New York state cannot be lad ex-
cept Republican and Progressive votes
are cast for one ticket
We want good government in Maine
We know that we cannot have it ex-
elected. yet Mr.. Roosevelt Endorses the
Progressive candidates who hope al
the best to do more than defeat the
Republican candidates, since their
chances of election is absolutely hope
less. Have we not as good a right to
good government in Maine as the cit
liens of New York have? Have we
not as much pride in Maine as Mr.
Roosevelt has in New York State? Is
it rea sonable for Ex-President Roose-
welt to ask us to defeat good govern
ment in. Maine in order that the Pro-
gressiye party may be continued in
this State, when he is not willing to
defeat good government in New York
State where are his own home and in
terests?

Don't BE Misled; Look About You.

Less than a year ago many gentle
men OF Progressive convictions frankly
acknowledged that they had been mis-
led by the Lewiston Journal and GER
tain Progressive leaders In whom they
had confidence and who, they believed.
ought to know, into expecting the Pro-
gress.ve candidate to win. The election
o. Hon. John A. Peters was less of a
disappointment than a surprise. Some
Of these men said they had believed,
up to election day. that the Kennebec
Journal was trying to fool the voters;
they were amazed that the sources up
on which they had relied for informa-
but absolutely INSCRIPTIONS.
These gentlemen today will recall the
ayowals which they made to members
of the Kennebec Journal staff less than
one year ago, in the hour of their
awakening and disgust. And now we
would remind these gentlemen that
precisely the same tactics, the same
false and groundless claims, the same
scizing upon petty technicalities out
OF which to build pretended noun
tains, the same northumberland
our-high-purpose arguments are being
used.
OF course the Progressives have
made gains in some localities; of
course some we'll known Republicans
and Democrats have changed faith,
but for every one of these can be
shown ten that are voting the Repub-
lican ticket because they believe in
Republican principles and because they
can take no chances of electing Dem
ocrats of opposite principles.
We are publishing from day to day
the letters of prominent Progressives
advising their party associates of the
danger of elinging to the party ticket
they are men who saw the folly and
the dishonesty of such claims and pre-
lenses as Lawrence can beat Pattan-
gall, Peters can't" Such men as Hon.
John e. Warren, Rev. B. C. Went
worth and Arthur w. Patterson are
not talking from a selfish purpose:
they are not attempting to elect a Re-
publican ticket on their own account
but because of public welfare. Other
PUBLIC statements are likely to be even
more surprising.
no honest man with any knowledge
or political conditions throughout
Maine, can pretend that he expects
the Progressive State ticket to win.
what then? IT he persists in voting

lie his decision.
IN not over four Legislative districts

planned by Republicans and Progress
sives?
Looked at bluntly in the light of
facts, the pretense that the Proressives
are going to poll anything like one
half the Roosevelt vote in 1912, is a
swindle, pure and simple.

as Sheriff Ferd Stevens, Sheriff Oliver
one OF those things is enforcing the
penalties of the prohibitory law with
a powerful traffic subsidizing newspa-
pers, lawyers. politicians and thugs
to defeat the law and beat the officers
at every turn.
Again our friend proves by his own
words that he has not read, or at
least digested. his own platform. He
speaks Of 1t as the prohibition and
enforcement plank" Let US call his
attention to the solid fact that II Is
in no sense prohibition" plank, for
it in no degree or manner endorses the
principle of prohibition. 1t talks en-
foreement because the people want
the law" But on the question of pro-
hibition it Is shameful dodge and
stra ddle.
What a man must do or "betray his
party is well understood; it Is also
we'll understood that many men have
betrayed their parties, as Judas be-
trayed his party, and many men of
high intentions VIII continue to be-
tray their parties so long us given op-
portunity to make selfish gain of one
kind or another by the betrayal, Many
good men have fought valiantly for
time and then lost heart, They have
thought they could reform the world
but on trial they have done no more,
usually much less, than the chap who
said less about what he could do.
We believe our friend Clarke win
one day awake to the knowledge that
his campaign for election is only one
poor little phase of his fight for better
things. Others just as sincere and bril-
liant have been fighting longer and
carry the scars and heartaches he is
yet to realize. And one CT the things
that some have learned is never to
underestimate a commercial enemy,
particularly when that commercialism
is an unadulterated evil.
The greatest gain that the sheriff of
Kennehec county or any other county,
in the enforcement of law restraining
the evils of liquor traffic, would be
national prohibition. 1t is n political
affair and must be done through politi-
cal parties which respond to the de-
mands of their people
For instance, if the Progressive party
had had the courage of It's pretenses
and had declared for the principle of
prohibition in Maine and the nation,
it would have tent courage To unnum-
bered thousands now fighting for the
law. We know many good men who
were grievously disappointed in the
color of the Bangor Progressive con-
vention.
The way to get Congress largely
in favor of it" (prohibitionl is to prove
to them Ghe law makers) that the
people demand it. No congressman got
encouragement from Maine Progress
sives to work or vote for federal con-
stitutional prohibition. The way to
gain it is not by4spdgins the issue or
waiting for the oiher fellow to bring
it about before saddtsing it.
The man who waves his arms and
shouts about what he will do if the
people will trust him, and refuses to
place himself when he has opportunity.
is much in the position of prctender.
