calamity HowIine" Circus.

At Bath a circus company is re-
ported to have discharged "a men be-
cause of growing need for reducing
expenses. Perhaps the following edi-
torial comment from the Bath Times
may sufficiently explain the cause:
In the parade Saturday the ele-
plant bore a covering announcing
that he had s.stravelled from
Alabama to Maine and had found
nothing but hard times. The ele-
plant wondered why and recon-
mended all curious as to the cause
to ask the tDemocratic) donkey. It
is stated that the circus has lost this
season $4,000 and the statement
was made here that none of the men
connected with the show who had
voted the Democratic ticket at the
last election would do so again, as
they attributed the bad business
they had run into to the Democratic
administration. Last year through
the West. moreover, the manage
ment had trouble in obtaining men
to go as helpers. The actors had to
do their own packing. This year out
there they had no difficulty any
where in obtaining men. at their own
prices too"
OF course it is Calamity bowling to
mention such facts but our Demo-
cratic exchanges are not expected to
copy.

BACK TO REPUBLICAN PARTY
Remarkable Evidence in the Figures from
Congressional Elections, State Elections,
Primary Elections and Registrations

At the gathering of Androscoggn Republicans in Lewiston
Wednesday, repeatedly remarked that Kennebec Journal
reports the political campaigns within memory notably the
Third District campaign of 1913 had accurate and Its
estimates reliable From beyond this newspapers cu
field words of praise for the fairness of the Ken
nebec Journals claims and the definite and authentic character
of the facts which daily gave its readers In such meeting
nopportne for the Journal representative to thank these
gentlemen for their kind words but appropriate to hide
his bushes of pleasure and to resolve to live to the high
standard for which they gave credit This shall endeavor
to do, in political and all other affairs.
For weeks this has noted the rapid swing
Maine toward the Republican party 1t has believed this due

who have been disappointed in the result of their of two

with the compilation of striking figures by the National Con-
pressona Committee:
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-07-10
Read the Facts.

Official figures of recent elections,
primaries and registrations in differ
ent parts of the country reveal sweep
ing Republican gains and correspond
ing Democratic and Progressive losses.
A careful analysis of these figures,
just completed, shows Enthusiastically
the trend Of political sentiment from
Maine to California. The swing back
to Republican victory is on.
The figures show that the condition
that resulted in the election of Wilson
is wiped out and that the readjust-
ment has been favorable to the Re-
publican party in every instance. The
total vote in primaries and Congress
sional elections was in most cases,
less than that in the Presidential cleo
ton two years ago, but even in these
instances the Republicans gained. In
the Seventh District of New Jersey,
the total vote in the Congressional
election fell away forty per cent, yet
the Republican gain was 90 per cent
over 1912. In the Second Iowa Dis
trict, the decrease in the total vote,
compared with 1912, was So per cent,
yet the Republican gain was 81 per
cent. In the Senatorial primary in
Pennsylvania, the total vote was forty
nine per cent. less than the total vote
in the Presidential election two years
ago, but the Republican gain was 81
per cent
One of the most significant of the
returns is that of the Minnesota cleo
ton for Governor. in which the Re-
publican gain was POS per cent, in
spite of the fact that the total vote
was 81 per cent. less than the vote for
President in 1912
In another column this issue we are
giving comparison of the figures
that Should be read and pondered by
every voter in the land. If you have
wondered if the country was satisfied
with the present administration, here
is your answer, If you have been
told, and have been inclined to believe
it, that the Progressive party expects
to elect a congressman or any other
official, state or national, that will
mean anything as a party asset or
more than an aid to Democratic
chances, then this information should
be considered eandidly by you. If you
have believed the declarations that
have been made recklessly from Ger
tain sources, that the Republican party
is disintegrating, this should show you
how much faith you can place in such
claims.

Editor Kennebec Journal
To the People Of Maine:
I desire to call the attention OF the
people of Washington county and State
Of Maine to the very weak letter In
which Governor Haines replied to my
charges against Sheriff Woodman of
Washington county. The Governor Is
evidently steering what he considers to
be a safe middle course, and the only
point in his answer seems to be that
am a competing candidate against Wood
man in the coming election, which Is
absolutely irrevelant to the question In
hand Governor Haines states that he
has forwarded my letter to Woodman,
but it is now ten days since the letter
was sent and we have not heard from
Sheriff Woodman Should the state
ments contained in my letter have been
untrue, why has he not instituted pro-
ceedings against me for libel There is
only one defence in libel, and that is
proof of truth. I only announced (what
everybody knows) that the Prohibitory
Law is being openly and wilfully violated
in PASSPORT
Governor Haines calmly washes his
hands of the matter by saying that he
will leave the question to the people of
Washington county, who will undoubted-
ly not return Woodman to office If he is
not doing his duty. In this he is evil
