Mr., Guernsey's Candidacy

Dover, Me-. July 3. 1916
Editor kennebec Journal:
II you will kindly public the following
interview OF Dr. Merrill it will be greatly
appreciated by Mr.. Guernsey's friends.
Yours very truly,
JOHN F. SPRAGUE.
DR.. E. D. Merrill Of Foxcroft, who was
CONGRESSMAN Guernsey's opponent In the
Fourth Congressional district on the Pro-
Eressive ticket in 1914, and who polled
about 5000 votes against him, in an inter-
view today said:
II was much gratified to learn OF Mr..
Gurenseys candidacy for the T. 5. SEN
ate to succeed the late Hon. Edwin Z.
Burleigh. 1t will afford me much pleas
ure to render him all the support that I
possibly can in the primary election ana
at the polls in September.
His course in Congress has been such
that any Progressive may consistently
support him. During his eight years SER
vice there he has been untiring In his
devotion to everything of vital interest
to his State.
His experience and the influence and
standing he has acquired and the knowl-
edge that he has gained of national at
fairs are needed by whoever represents
us in the Senate. The people Of Maine
require, and 1 believe will emphatically
demand, his services.
1T is impossible for any other candi
date that has been or can be named to
meet the requirements of the situation as
can Mr.. Guernsey. From a purely po-
litical point Of view it would seem to be
the only wise and safe thing to do.
Two senators from the extreme west
ern part of the State within short dis
lance of each other would be unprecedent-
ed in the political history of the State ana
an absurdity. Then for any party to have
a candidate for the two great offices of
U. s. senator and governor of the State
from any one county it seems to me
would be entirely irregular improper and
unfair.
"In either case the ticket would seem
to be out of proportion and unbalanced.
For these and other reasons it strikes

that characterized the mobilization Of

war with Spain. The medical corps
should be given a free hand along the
border, and If there is not sufficient
number Of sanitary experts already in
the army there should be a call for
volunteers from among the civilian ex-
perts. There is an excellent opportu-
nifty for the War Department to show
the world what the United States can
do in the way Of military sanitation,

The conciliatory tone Of Carranzas
latest note with its undermining ap-
peal for patience. mediation and help,
seems to dissipate the war cloud as
mist before q northwest breeze Ameri-
cans ARE too proud to fight" a peo-
tple who ask for one more opportunity
10 redeem themselves. The war crisis
has passed unless fresh outrage for the
purpose Of embroiling the nations is
Icommitted
Carranza says that several Latin
American countries have offered their
4risndly Offices to the Mexican govern
ment The government Of the United
States should be ready to meet these
South and Central American govern
ments half way in considering means
Of bringing order out OF chaos in Mex
leo. But II Carranza is simply playing
for time and seeking another opportun-
1ty to fiout the good intentions and in
suit the mediators as he did the "a B
C" conference. then the United States
and the friendly Latin American coun-
tries should deal promptly and severe
ly with this pretended head Of all
Mexico's civil possibilities.
The immediate danger Of war has
disappeared with the first evidence of
a sensible attitude on the part of the
de facto government Of Mexico. 1t is
a relief to the people Of America who
do not relish the Job Of cleaning the
Augean stables. We have no river of
Alpheus other than the precious blood
OF Americas strongest manhood 1t
cannot be turned upon the accumula-
ton Of the filth of years without great
cost at the source. The task cannot
be completed in one turn Of the sun.

scale has been disrupted by Americas

main is no longer armed and equipped
for murder and rampage, then the
United States and other American
governments will gladly assist him in
establishing civilize,. conditions among
his people.
Meantime. the American government
and people have had lesson in the
possibilities of Mexican DEVELOPMENTS
and the necessity for measures of mill
tary preparedness and readiness for
emergencies worthy of a peace loving
and self-respecting people. If Presi-

BRIDGEPORTERS TO HEAR
 STOJOWSKI AND WRONSKI

To hear two such musicians in one concert as Sigismund Stojowski and Thaddeus Wronski, the first a dis tinguished pianist-composer and the second fine tenor. and to know, at the same time, that the money one pays for a ticket goes to help some of the most afflicted people of war-rav- aged Europe, is certainly unique ex- perience. Yet this is the opportunity Bridgeport people will have on the night of Thursday. Nov. g, when these two musicians, whose birthplace was in Poland, will give freely of their wonderful talent in aid of their suffer- ing countrymen.
 The cantata written by the great Polish poet, Sigismund Krasinski, to the Queen of Poland, Queen of Angels" the famous Madonna Of Czenstochan, and has been set to music by Stojowski under the title, Prayer for Poland," and is said to be a really magnificent work. Thad- deus Wronski sings the songs written by his great compatrfot with true fer vor, and a concert by these two is something not easily forgotten. Sev- eral of his songs are included in the Bridgeport program, as well as a number of his piano compositions. Tickets are on sale at the Wissner Piano Warerooms, 923 Main street.

ROOSEVELTP|CKE PRESIDENT BEFORE BUT NOT SUCCESS
Charles s. Gibbons, Former Republican Chairman
 Tumbles to Wilson.

New York, Oct. 2S.-How President Wilson's programme of peace and prosperity as opposed to the Republi- can policy of war, appeals to a man who has lived by the sword~and, for many years, has been a member of the Republican party, is shown in a state ment by Capt. Charles s. Gibbons, of Kansas Four years ago, Capt. Gib- bons was the Republican chairman of his county; two years ago he came out for Roosevelt, and is, at present, the Progressive county chairman. Now he says:
 "I am for Wilson. I have heard the evidence, and have placed all the froth of campaign criticism up against the facts of accomplishment and condi- tions as they are, and prefer our pres- ent peaceful conditions, or war as the opponents of Wilson call it, to the other condition which certainly would be. if the other horn of the dilemma had been chosen The duel has been outIawed in this country for many years, among individuals, and I am for a President who puts it only as a last resort in the settlement of internation- al difficulties.
 "Remember that he (Roosevelt) picked a President of judicial turn of mind for us before. The reflected Roosevelts never have been the real lthing."
