LITTLE GIRL OFFERS ST
IN PAYMENT FOR BABY
Amusing Incident Occurs at Cam
paign Headquarters of Crit
tenton Mission.

Here's a dollar I'll take that baby in
the crib
So said little girl today who visited
the campaign headquarters of the
Florence Crittenton Mission, COZ 14th
street northwest. The little girl had
been given the money by her parents
to put into the basket used for col
lecting the funds, and thought she was
entitled to baby in return. When the
true situation was explained she was
just as glad to give the dollar to be
used for the babes welfare.
1t is believed that about 81 900 will be
raised by means of the campaign in
addition to sums which We're sub
scribed. The affair comes to an end this
afternoon, but the mission workers
feel that much good has been accom-
plished by it. Thousands of persons
have been interested in the work of
the institution who never before knew
anything about it
AS a direct result of the opening OF
the 18th street headquarters one father
learned about the institution taking care
of small children and placed his infayrt
there until such time as his wife may
be cured of some mental trouble, from
which she is now suffering

Back to the Republicans

One of the features of the last pro-
gressive convention at Bangor was
the bowling down of Hon. John E.
Warren, of Westbrook, a high
minded gentleman who had the cour-
age to express his belief that it was
more important to promote progress
sive principles than to elect pro-
gressive officials. The insult offered
him by the progressive convention
was revelation of the skin depth of
the professions of progressive leaders
on the subject of political fairness,
justice and the right of every man to
be heard in party councils.
Mr.. Warren has now come out in
support of the republican State
ticket. In letter explaining his
position, Mr.. Warren says:
Criticism Of the party in power is always
easy, even when kept within bounds of truth,
and is the cheapest ammunition one can get
wherewith to carry on a campaign, and so
far as I have heard, seems to be the major
part of what the progressive candidates are
loaded with.
This is not worthy Of the progressive party,
who have no right to exist unless they have
constructive platform and furnish better can
didstes than either of the other parties, and
this they have failed TO do in this years cam
paign.
My duty, under the circumstances, is clear,
namely; TO return to the republican party for
this campaign and vote their ticket, unless
possibly in some instances, where may
think that the progressive candidate is a
better man than the republican and one
whom l think there is some chance of elect
ing; for I do not believe it is best to throw
away votes except when some principle is in
volved.
Another Roosevelt progressive who
has come out in support of the re-
publican ticket is Rev. B. O. Went
worth, of Yarmouthville, one of the
best known pastors in the Maine
Methodist conference. Mr.. Went
worth, addressing progressive
county convention, summed up his
position as follows:
According TO the proposition you have
made, you are planning to turn the State OF
Maine over into the hands of democracy to be
deluged with rum, like it has been under the
Plaisted administration. Gentlemen, If you
call that progressive, Pm not with you.

Campaign Yarns.

Gives the Lie to one of Pattangalrs
Campaign Yarns.
EThe following letter from the Water
vile Sentinel of Aug. % explains itself:
To the Editor of the Waterrile Sentinel:
In your issue of August 10 you made
statement, in the report of Hon. W. R. Pat
tengall's speech delivered the previous even
ing at Albion, in which you accredited him
with having said;
II say that on the afternoon that that first
mileage bill was vetoed by Governor Haines,
Seth NJ. Carter, the attorney for the Maine
Central railroad, was in his office all the time,
and dictated the veto s3 message l for the gov
Haines cannot deny that statement in my
presence"
/ know that newspapers make a great m any
rash statements and misquote speakers in
campaign times, and supposed at the time
that this was intended simply as a campaign
story, and would be so received by the
people, but / notice in your issue of this
morning. August 20, in an editorial, you refer
to the matter again, and say that have not
denied it.
Now, 1t has not been my rule to deny any of
the falsehoods that You have published about
me in your paper, not only in this campaign,
but in every campaign in which have been
candidate, but some of my friends believe
that is positive statement made by Mr.. Pat
tangall, and that should pay some attention
to it. 1t is against my judgment to do SO,
but as / am a candidate of the party, and
other men are interested in the campaign,
will, and / say that the statement is false in
every particular, except that possibly Mr..
Carter might have been in the executive
chamber on that date; don't remember. He
was about the State House during the winter,
as was Mr.. Pattangall. Mr.. Pattangall also
may have been in my Office on that date. /
have no recollection OF seeing either OF them,
and know that / never had any converse
tion with either of them at any time about
the veto message that l wrote, previous to
writing it, and don't think said anything
| about it to any one; at least, no one kne "
\ what was to say in that message until 1t was
made public, except my stenogrspher.
| No man ever dictated any message I ever
wrote, and don't believe that Mr.. Pattangall
or Mr.. Carter would either of them assume to
make such suggestion TO me in the executive
chamber as ia indicated by Mr.. Pattangall's
statement. They both know me too we'll.
| Inasmuch as you have asked for my denial
| of this, please give it as conspicuous place
1 in your paper as you have the falsehood which
| you have published about me.
| Very truly, yours,
1 WILLIAM T. HATSEs.

Mexico's sswatchful waiter'.
Boston Ira nscript.

When Secretary Bryan announced that
"wstchful waiting wing in Mexico, he
must have intended to convey the impress
sion that all was quiet and ''constitu-
tionsl" across the Rio Grande. Certainly
to restore order and establish a constitu-
tional government throughout the length
and breadth OF that revolution-ridden
country was the proiessed purpose OF "the
war which was not a war;, until by the
baptism OF blood at Vera Cruz it became
over night "a war OF service. Not until
that purpose has been achieved can the
announcement OF its success be hailed as
other than premature.
How far the secretary OF state, as is the
habit OF an orator, sacrificed accuracy to
ALTERATION is apparent from the attitude
OF Mexico's "watchful WAITER, who is
none other than his erstwhile amiaoie
ally, sPsnchop Villa. instead of accept
ing the peaceful" accession tc the presi-
dency OF Carranza, he lays down the law
both to Mexico City and tn Washington
and fixes the following as the price of his
and his army's recognition OF a new gov
erpment:
/. That a provisional president be desig-
mated by a convention Of military chiefs made
up of one man for every 1000 men in the
army as the plan to which Carranza agreed
at Torreon.
2. Carranza can be designated by such a
convention, provided he agrees TO abide by
the constitution aud not become candidate
in the ensuing election.
What logical objection can Washington
offer to these termsf They reflect tins
wishes OF the Niagara mediators who OPP
posed the recognition of any president
until an election had been held, and they
follow the doctrine laid down by Presi-
come president by force of arms. IL Car
rama recognizes the right of Villa to die
tate terms and accepts the terms dictated
Mr.. Bryan may yet point with pride TO
tine results OF "watchful waiting. But
Carranza has not proved a tractabie ally
in the past, and now that he is in the
saddle at Mexico City there is good reason
to believe that he will repudiste both
Villa and his terms.
Meanwhile the American embassy at
Mexico City remains closed, the Brazilian
ambassador is in charge of its archives,
and is the only medium of Official COM
municatiou between the Carranza govev n
ment and Washington; American troops
occupy Vera Cruz; the American fleet lies
in the harbor and the bulk of the Ameri-
can army is patrolling the Mexican
border. IL all is quiet and s'constitu-
tional' across the Rio Grande, as Secre-
tary Bryan would have us believe, why
should these things be9

Our Merchant Marine /.

Republican papers urge the election of re-
publican congressman in order to build up
the American merchant marine in which
Maine is especially interested. 1t was under
republican rule that the American merchant
marine declined.-Portlaad Argus.
This is true so far as it goes, but it
does not go far enough. The republic
can party has tried repeatedly to en-
act legislation for the benefit Of our
merchant marine, but it has always
found the democracy of the solid
South arrayed against such legisla-
ton, and unfortunately there were
always just enough republican con-
gressmen from the middle western
states, who did not see the benefits to
the whole country that would result
from such legislation, to vote with the
democrats.
