lion bushels were exported. On the day
the bill passed wheat sold for $1.14 and
corn for 80 cents a bushel. Ships were
offered more freely than cargoes. There
was no lack Of insurance.
"rhe pressure for this legislation
comes from those citizens whose pa
triotism did not prevent them from
sailing their ships under foreign flags
in times of peace but who, now that the
nations whose flags they bore are at
war, desire the protection of the Amer
lean flag and of government insurance
at the expense of the American peo-
pie and at the risk of endangering their
neutrality. Cupidity and greed rather
than patriotism lie at the base of this
legislation. Its sole justification is a
desire to profit from the terrible con-
fiiet now in progress abroad under the
gutse of an alleged emergency. No
such emergency has been established,
exists, or will arise In the future.
THE President says: This is a good

What Joint psbats Proved.

In the Joint debate between Col
Plummer of Bath and Mr. Pattangalrs
representative. Mr.. Reagan Of Indiana,
held at Swanville, Tuesday evening,
1t is significant that Col. Plummer's
challenge, made to Mr. PattangalPs
representative at the opening of the
debate, and repeated several times
that Mr.. Keegan point out a single
thing, excepting labor. that could now
be purchased by the people of Maine
at lower price than when the
Democrats came into power. remained
unanswered
To the generalization of Mr.. Keegan
upon things for which he claimed the
Republican tariff had made our people
pay too high prices. the Colonel in
sisted that he name one which the
Democrats had reduced to the con-
sumer, and no answer was received
Neither did Mr.. Keegan deny a
single one Of the instances which Col.

employment which had resulted to
people of Maine from this Democratic
administration; while Mr.. Keegan's
statement that he would vote for ma
tionai prohibition, while opposing pro-
hioition in Maine, had the merit OF
novelty at least.
Not word did Mr.. Keegan say
against Gov. Haines administration
of the state; and having been led into
denouncing the coastwise shipping
privilege as a wicked monopoly. his
attention was called to the fact that
Senator johnson had stood with the
Republicans on this issue.
One thing this joint discussion
clearly demonstrated, and that Is the
weakness Of the Democratic cause
when one Of their speakers is forced
to let go Of noisy seneralities and get
down to actual, visible facts. Per-
haps that Is why Mr.. Pattangall did
not meet Col. Plummer as advertised
but put in q substitute when he was
himself in town that night.

The Progressive leaders admit that
practically every Progressive in SOM
erset county voted for Lawrence last
fall, Their total vote then, in spite Of
the great effort made to get every vote
out. was 1856 as against 2185 Demo-
cratic votes. and 2672 Republican votes.
Both the Republicans and the Pro-
gressives admit that If the Progressive
vote is increased, the increase will come
from the Republican ranks Assuming
that the same number of votes are cast
next Monday as were cast last fall, 1t
will be necessary for the Progressive
party to draw from the Republican
ranks only PAT voters to wipe out the
Republican plurality and insure the
election of Democratic county ticket.
To elect a Progressive county ticket
over the Democratic candidates. assum-
ing the same number of votes are cast
as were cast last fall, it will be neces
sary for the Progressive county ticket
to poll vote of at least 2186. This
means that 1881 new Progressive voters
must be found in Somerset county, or
practically as many more as voted for
Lawrence last fall. Nearly all of those
1881 new Progressive votes would have
to come from the Republican ranks.
That means that unless practically one
out OF every two voters who voted the
Republican ticket last fall can be In
duced to vote the Progressive ticket at
this election, II is absolutely impossible
to elect the Progressive ticket In this
county. The Progressive leaders do not
hope or expect to accomplish this
II it is impossible to elect the Pro-
gressive ticket. land anyone who can
| understand figures must see that IL is
impossihle) every vote for Progress
sive candidate Is not only thrown
| away from a Progressive standpoint,
but It is worse: II 10 one-half vote for
the Democratic candidates.
The Progressives do not believe in
free rum or free trade, Why should a
Progressive cast half vote In favor
az Democratic issues when he agrees
with the Republican platform as re-
CARDS those issues? Both the Pro-
gressive party and the Republican
party are anti Democratic.
Why should not Progressive give .
whole vote against Democracy instead
OF half vote for Democraey3

That "Deeoy" Letter to Rum Dealer.
Here is a laugh for you. At Madi-
son, the other night, Governor Haines
made plain talk on the rum issue.
He read a letter from a Democratic
liquor wholesaler asking for cam
paign contributions. The Kennebec
Journal published a part of the Gov
ernor's address and the letter in
Wednesday mornings editions. Re-
puhlicans, Democrats and others, all
over the State, anxiously awaited the
appearance of Democratic papers on
Thursday to see what they would say
editoriaily, and Democratic speakers
would say. They were disappointed, for
the papers failed to see" the Tebbetts
letter. But the Hon. Cyrus w. Davis
DID see the letter, for here is what
the Waterville Sentinel reports him
as saying in his address at West New
Portland, Wednesday evening:
LET me ask the governor" said Mr..
Davis, "to explain to the good peo-
pie Of the State of Maine how it is
that hia relations with liquor dealers
are such that he has access to their
private correspondence. That letter,
gentlemen, was a decoy sent several
years ago to catch unworthy men, and
it is not surprising that it has caught
the governor"
Now read it over and get Mr.. Davis
meaning-of course there is a mean
ing.
How many of these "decoy" letters
were sent out to unworthy menu"
Did Mr.. Tebbetts send out ALL the
begging letters to unworthy men,?
And how many did he catch" for the
Democratic committee?
1t seems that Mr.. Davis was aware
OF the sending out OF these "decoy"
letters to unworthy" rum whole
salers. He does not deny the au-
thenticity of the letter for that would
be silly, but admits that such letters
were sent out Now will Mr.. Davis
or others deny that similar "decoy''
letters have been sent out to whole
sale liquor dealers by members of
the Democratic organization SINCE
1910? In the light OF possible devel-
opments We should like Mr.. Davis to
answer before election day.
Was 1t "decoy' letter that took
Mr.. Davis, when Secretary of State
for Maine, to Chicago to address the
national meeting of the Brewers AS
ISOLATION, when and where he gave
assurances and made promises Of
Democratic service in Maine?

The new Maine Central freight yard
at Brunswick has been completed and
is now open for business. This yard
was built some distance west Of. the
passenger station and is designed not
only to accommodate more business
than the old one was capable Of, but
also to remove the long continued
complaints on the part of the people OF
Brunswick against the conditions that
have existed there for years. whereby
the main crossings have been blocked
many hundred times a day by shifting
cars. 1t could not be helped until now,
but with the new yard there Ia no
need of any more trouble at the old
place except when passenger trains
are at the station, which is compar-
ativeiy infrequent during the run of
of day.
