What They Expect to Do.

With good weather today, to get out
the crowd, Roosevelt ought to clinch the
election of Mayor Curtis GOVERNOR
lewiston Sun, Aug. Is.
No; all they expect to do Is make
possible the election of few Demo-
cratic representatives so that Re-
publicans cannot control the House
and thus gain credit for passing a
workingmen's compensation law. a
ballot reform law, an equal suffrage
bill, etc.
If Progressive should tell you that
he believes the Progressive candidates,
from governor down, are to be elected
you would know that he was telling a
falsehood. The Progressive leaders
do not expect to elect their candidates
but hope to draw enough votes to them
to defeat the Republicans.
And these are the men who are pre-
tending to be better than we are!
And Hon. Theodore Roosevelt spoke of
hypocrisy and insincerity in the old
parties" What does he call the per-
formances of some of these Progress
sive leaders in Maine?

Kennebec Journal in Campaign

Having the credentials to prove
statements is a satisfying and paying
habit. In a campaign such as this. in
which Democracy is desperately on the
defensive as an ally of evil institu-
tions, it is doubly necessary to be pre-
pared with the facts and the proof of
the facts.
The Kennebec Journal is making a
hard earnest fight for the success of
the Republican party in the State and
Nation, because ii believes that the
very life of national prosperity,
progress and happiness lies in the en-
bracing of Republican principles and
their honest fulfllment But the
Kennebec Journal is not even tempted
to hazard it's reputation as a reliable
and responsible newspaper by dis
torting the facts for temporary politi-
cal advantage We are. first of all.
newspaper and if we should stoop to
deceit in one case our readers could
not trust us in another. No news
paper that expects or hopes TO survive
and prosper, can afford to deceive the
public
But in the progress of a heated
campaign we. as a supporter of Re-
publican principles and policies are
obliged to publish the facts concerning
our opponents. Many times these
facts are insistently and sometimes
frantically denied. Our readers will
remember striking examples in the
last State campaign and in the special
election of Names Third district in
1913. They will also remember that
in every case we had the documents to
prove our assertions, and that our
campaign predictions were so carefully
based on study of the situation as to
call forth expressions of wonder after
election.
In 1913 we repeatedly called the
bluff of certain reckless and extrava-
CANT political organs, and we gave the
facts. In every case we were sub
stantiated and the other paper proven
to either know nothing about condi-
tons or to be deliberately deceiving
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-08-19

the public. Some of those extrava-
CANT claims from the Lewiston Jour
nal, the Portland Argus and the Wa
terville Sentinel, in headlines, news
reports" and editorials, we have at
hand for use in this campaign. Last
year we drove them into their holes
by combining ourselves to blunt facts.
The election return was the last
confederation of our claims.
In this campaign we have volley
after volley of sensational facts to
give our readers, and we have the
documents to back our assertions. We
have neither time nor space to devote
to extravagant guesswork or unin-
formed declarations. We propose to
prove that the opposition to the Re-
publican party in Maine, and hence
to the principles for which that party
stands, is a selfish and not public
opposition. We do not propose to ex-
aggerate the attendance or enthusiasm
at Republican meetings, nor to be-
little the attendance and enthusiasm
at Democratic or Progressive gather
ings. Our staff is earnestly instructed
to hold to facts, cut where they may
politically, and to give even the devil
his due. BY this means we expect to
merit and retain the confidence of our
readers

sumed large quantities of intoxicants;
that booze was everywhere, and the
party generally "soused." Now the
Lewiston Journal says 600 were there
Press says 1000, as conservative
estimate. We heard many good Judges
refer to the number as much greater.
We think that at least 80 or 40 men
were there. probably more.D We know
that more than 100 automobiles were
parked at the meeting place, because
well, because a Journal man counted
'em. But as to the exact number of
voters present we don't care particu
larly; we know that quite a lot of
representative men of Maine know
what to think Of the party who says 1t
was a rum crowd, or that any booze
was present anywhere on the grounds
or on the breath Of men present. Nc
need for us to deny such report;
those present can be found in every
town in central Maine.
One more specimen is the favorite
stereotyped lie about good roads,
another about the mileage book bill
and still another about Governor
Haines position as TO enforcement OF
the prohibitory law.
But perhaps the best collection Of all
may be found in the address of the
real old Socrates of Maine Democracy,
at Mt. Vernon. The waterville Senti-
mel quotes him al length and says:
Their compensation bill was SO bad it
could not be passed. BALLOT reform had
lust been talked over and nothing done.
Their public utilities was so poor It has
gone to a referendum where II deserves
to be defeated as it'would foster an cleo
trical monopoly In this State. In fact,
ure had used this feature as an argu-
ment in its favor. I don't believe the
man has ever been born who has been
big enough to use a monopoly Justly,

Aroostook people have decided that
automobile accidents are occurring
with altogether too much frequency in
that county. The speed mania is I'M
doubtedly the cause of most of the ac-
cidents. During the past week four
have occurred, so far as known, and
two have resulted fatally. Aside from
the death of Miss Hagerman in Houl
ton, man in Eagle Lake, James Du-
bay, was almost instantly killed by the
overturning of his machine, the other
occupants escaping with minor bruis-
es. At Masardis. coming through a
dense woods, two automobiles met in
a head-on collision. Fortunately no
one was seriously injured. At Month
cello an auto ran into a wagon, COM
pletely demolishing 1t, and killing the
horse instantly; also damaging the car
considerably. No one was hurt to any
extent though just why is almost a
miracle.

der the advice of such as w. R. Pat
tangll on the outside looking in.
Mr.. Pattangall also seems to have
forgotten the means adopted to delay.
If impossible to defeat, the operation
of the public utilities law. 1t might
freshen his memory a bit if we re-
mind our readers that member of the
Democratic State committee secured
the names Gin a questionable manner)
to the public utilities referendum petit
ton after it had been passed by the
Legislature. Following that sugges-
ton, we would ask our readers to
guess why Mr. Pattangalrs committee
machine paid to one man on Aug 90
1913, the sum Of $3.50, on Sept 2, 1913
the same man $25, and again on
Sept. 2. 1913. to the same man the sum
OF s120.
Mr.. PattansaII tells the people what
the Legislature did not do, but he
does not tell them why; that it was
because the people failed to send Re-
publican representatives enough to
fully overcome the combination AGAINST
them.
II is no secret out among Democrats
OF the State that their only hope now
Is to prevent, through the Progressive
vote in a few legislative districts, a
Republican organization of the House.
In such case workman's compensation
ballot reform. equal suffrage and other
meritorious measures will be again
held up.
BY the way, we wonder why Mr..
Pattangall did not, at Mt. Vernon. tell
MS hearers that the last Legislature
falled to pass a woman suffrage bill.
II seems to us that we recall certain
striking figures of Democratic speech
as we'll as the detailed vote. We
wonder If Mr.. Pattangall so recalls
without telling his hearers about it.
But, as we said before. the Demo.
cratic campaign of denial and ex-
PLANTATION, totally empty of issue, has
oesenerated into a crusade of lying
and deceit. Watch their editorial ex-
preston and their speeches and COM
pare them with the facts.

Maine. 1t is stated that Capt. Orne is
owner and commander of the schoon-
er Hiram, which is said to ply be-
tween Maine ports and Boston, gen.
orally carrying lumber up there and
returning with general cargo. The
story is told with many details and
very circumstantially, and would be
quite interesting to Knox county peo-
pie if it could be verified. But Rock
port people say there is no woman
skipper in that town and We cannot
locate her anywhere. The American
article is accompanied by a picture
of the alleged Mrs. Orne. but Rock
port people fail to recognize it. Who
is she?

There Is a Man in Washington.

S. E. Kiser the Jingle artist, wrote;
There is a man in Washington
Mo never seems to be afraid;
He does the things that must be done
With little noise and no parade
He tourishes no heavy stick.
Nor calls upon mankind to see.
While he proceeds to hurl a brick
Or jab things with snickersnee;
He does not claim that he can lick
a bunch of catamounts-not he.
And Maine gentleman puts it thi:
way:
There is a man in Washington
Who never seems to be afraid;
He does the things that must be done;
With little noise and no parade;
He fiourishes no heavy stick"
oh. no! It's just a plain rawhide,
Our old schoolmaster used to lick
The scholar he thought had lied.
He does not need a great Big Stick;
Not he-the Congressman are tied.

Democratic Crusade of Deceit.

The Democratic organization of
Maine is on the defensive and resort
ing desperately to general deception.
The leaders had hoped until recently
that the Progressives would cut fig
ure enough to save their necks, but
now that that forlorn hope is relin-
ouished, only desperate remedies can
save desperate situation. Silly
declarations of Democratic assurances
and of Republican loss of heart made
by the Democratic trio of daily papers,
suff1ced for a time to content the rank
and file, but now the demand for facts
that stand for something to the party
are becoming more and more insistent
Democratic voters of character and In
telligence are asking why they should
again be subjected to the humiliation
Of position such as they endured in
the period of 1902, for the sake Of
calling forth a generous campaign
fund out of the rum wholesalers. The
speeches of Cyrus w. Davis and of
Oakley c. Curtis, to name no others,
are daily mailing the Democratic party
of the State TO the rum cross.
''Why?" Because they have not a
single other issue" and have been
kept on the defensive every minute
since the pre-primary campaign
opened. This general denial and ex-
PLANTATION on the part of Democratic
leaders has degenerated into a crusade
of reckless deceit Let us particular
lie in just few of the many cases
now thrown open to the voters.
In another column we are publish

the Democratic State committee In

in a state of great excitement, rush
ed down the stairs into the main
hall. He had blown the end of one
finger off with revolver. When he
reached the foot of the stairs he COL
apsed. He was quoted as saying
that he purposely shot himself.
Ledsinger is the son of a railway
mail clerk at Macon, Ga. The young
man came here six weeks ago. He
was financially embarrassed. A posi-
ton was obtained for him, but he
did not hold it long. Another job
was then procured for him at the
Spartan Mill. The mill is being ope-
rated only three days week and
was shut down on Tuesday.

Chicago, Oct. 15.-lllness among

This statement was made by DR..
J. W. Schereschewsky, surgeon on

while addressing the convention OF

DR.. Schereschewsky said that each
year l3,400.00o cases of sickness oc-

cited these figures as arguments for
greater general effort toward physi-

Physical efficiency of workingmen
