At Lewiston, Waterville and Pitts

Indiana, will be seen with Charles
Evans Hughes. 1t is doubtful if Mr.
Fairbanks makes a speech. but the
very fact that he is to be present
makes the meetings to be held during
the tours of the nominees in the State
still more notable.
Mr.. Fairbanks arrived in Maine
Thursday evening and spoke at Kit

ing, Justice Hughes leaves Portland at
8 o'clock for Lewiston where he is
scheduled to speak at 1890. Mr.. Fair

morning and it is planed to have him
join the Presidential nominee in Lew

in the least. The assertion is bald,
made up from whole cloth and only as
true as the rest Of the lying attempts
to fool a few union voters.
If the Sentinel assumes that in
telligent Maine voters asking for time
to discuss, understand and ratify the
law by popular vote, was giving laid
to the enemies of the 54-hour law" by
invoking the referendum provision. it
is reckoning with characteristic lack
of justice and intelligence.
Let the voters take notice, that the
ones who are making all the hullaba-
loo about Republican opposition to the
law, are publishing all the sophistry
against the law and at the same time
pretending that they are defending it.

Maine Welcomes Hughes.

Maine welcomes a distinguished WIS.,
itor. no less a parsonage than Hon.
Charles E. Hughes, present Repub-
lican candidate for President, former
justice of the United States Supreme
Court and former governor of New
York
Maine has long followed the remark
able career of this strong minded,
level-headed gentleman. 1t has never
justice, morality and progress. 1t has
admired the splendid clarity Of his
vision and the rugged honesty of his
utterances. His courage and far-sight-
edness have proven a constant inspir-
alton, from the days of the great in
vestigations into Gotham's crooked
ways.
Maine has watched for the recent
utterances of the man who had long
been shut off from the every day dis
cussions of questions Of civic moment
and party principles, and has renewed
its confidence and appreciation in the
man and his grasp of great problems.
On one question after another he has
injected the ozone Of common sense
into vitiated political atmosphere. His
latest is one Of the most gratifying
specimens.
That a candidate, called by the
people from another public task, to
appear as attorney for the people
standing for certain great principles
Of government, to boldly characterize
the unjust and yegg-like performance
Of numerous body of voters for
what it is, is regarded as moral cour-
age. Four hundred thousand voters
Of certain powerful organizations con-
certedly sand-bagged the government.
by the aid of Woodrow Wilson, and
robbed the people. Candidate Hughes
said So That he should frankly and
plainly express his honest opinion to
the public is characteristic of Mr..
Hughes as Maine has found him.
And that is why this State proudly
welcomes Charles Evans Hughes.

Maine politics, so far as is known. both

A Silly Pretense Runs Out.

The Waterville Sentinel once more
feebly waves its flag Of sickly pre-
tense by publishing a Photographic
reproduction of the signature Of Hon.
B. M. Fernald, said to have appeared
on a petition for a referendum vote on
the 54-hour law. Mr.. Fernald does
not deny that he signed petition Civ
ing the voters of Maine an opportun-
ity to vote on the law which has been
stood. But Mr.. Fernald DOES deny
that he advises voters to do other
than support the law.
Governor Fernald believes in the
referendum law and he believes that
any measure which is not understood
by the people generally may properly
go to the people for discussion, analy-
sis and popular verdict. He believes
the voters have that right, and that
fairness to any respectable number OF
citizens asking it requires that the
referendum be invoked.

sweating his mighty brain to convince
labor that there is a Republican move

Hughes His Own Man.

Gov. Hughes square-toed denuncia-
ton of President Wilson's betrayal Of
the cause of arbitration and his fore
ing Congress to surrender has heart
ened the Republicans and dismayed
the Democrats. Incidentally. it has
sent the cold shivers down the backs
of some Of the pussy-footed among
Mr.. Hughes campaign advisers, but
then they knew, or should have
known, that their candidate was es-
sentially his own man and that his
past record showed that he would
stand squarely and unequivocally for
the right, regardless of political ex-
pediency or the anxiety Of the timid
souls, even in his own party. At
Nashville, Mr.. Hughes denounced the
action of Mr.. Wilson and the Demo-
cratic majorities in Congress as "a
surrender of reason to force and
stand here firmly for the principle Of
arbitrating all industrial disputes, and
would not surrender it to anybody
in the country. I stand for two
things: First, for the principle Of fair.
| impartial, thorough, candid arbitra-
ton; second. for legislation on facts
according to the necessities Of the
case I am opposed to being dictated
to either in the Executive department
or in Congress by any power on earth
before the facts are known and in the
absence of the facts"
| 1t was, of course, idle to expect that
a man of Gov. Hughes record would
be swayed by motives of political ex-
pediency. or even that he would re-
frain from expressing his views on so
important a subject. Mr.. Hughes
record as governor Of New York
abundantly proves him the friend of
labor, and his attitude toward the
legislation which Mr.. Wilson forced
through Congress may prove that he
is far more Of friend now than a
chief executive who would give to
labor everything it asks on the eve Of
an election and at other times de-
nounce labor in the unfairest terms.
| 1t is an open secret at Democratic
headquarters that President Wilson's
campaign managers realize his action
in forcing Congress to enact the rail-
way wage-increase, and In repudiat-
ing the cause of arbitration is indie
feasible. Senator Hollis, who has been
campaigning for Mr.. Wilson, has
strongly advised Chairman McCor-
mick to instruct Democratic speakers
to omit, in so far as possible. all ref
erence to the wage bill. Mr.. McCor-
mick has taken the matter under ad-
visement, but for the present the
Presidents course will not be referred
to except, possibly, before essentially
labor audiences.
We have noticed that Democratic

like the plans for improving our in
situations and so he didn't do it, and
now the State has a fistful of money.
How could Republicans do any bet
ter?"
The above are a few Of the Demo-
cratic boasts and queries. They are
typical Of the logic on their side of
tho campaign. What would you have
done?" they ask in defense Of their
failure

Farmers are confronted by some dit.

help problem, not because Of the price

question of securing reliable help

more reliable in any way. The crcu-

All will admit that farmers-as well
as all others-are paying more for
what they buy; but that he is getting
much less for what he sells is abso'

products bring low prices, but on the
whole farmers are not complain

While we hear the shallow rlls,

Mr. and Mrs. John r. Wolston re-

three weeks visit in town, enjoying a
reunion with old friends and visiting
scenes Of their childhood, records the

member OF CO. A, Sd Maine Regiment,
and Tuesday evening was the guest at
dinner Of a comrade, Charles A.
Coombs. They enlisted together in
Co. A and tented together during their
service and by remarkable coincidence
were both wounded nearly the same
minute on June 2, 1862, at Fair Oaks
and both were taken to the David

Coombs was patient for eight
months. Mr.. Wolston was brought
home by his father and he wildly re-
calls the crowd at the old station when
he arrived. Mr.. Wolston vas known
