Mr.. PattansalI's Letter.


ing a letter from Hon. William r. Pat
tangall, manager of the Maine Demo-
cratic forces in the present campaign.
Mr.. Pattangall is very bitter and seems
to wish to convey to the public that he
is exceedingly thin-skinned when men
toned in connection with political at
fairs. Mr.. Pattangal would have
everybody else very careful in the use
of language. He is very dignified,
at all times, and suave in word and
manner. He is possessed of the
dangerous equipment Of being able
to say nasty and blistering things in
fine verbiage. He objects to blunt
statement of facts or plain interpreta-
tons Of perfectly apparent and obvious
purpose.
Mr.. Pattangall, when writing the let
ter referred to, was apparently smart
ing because Of the failure to get his in
sulting speech at Gardiner printed in
the Republican press over the signature
we refused to be made a cats paw by
Of Democratic State Committee"
That we refused to be made a cats
paw by the Democratic organization
seems to have been maddening to Mr.
Pattangall. He longed to score the
editor and so awaited himself Of the
privileges of our public letter box. We
give him his fling.
Mr.. Pattangall refers to the editor Of
this paper as an anonymous writer.
Let US ask Mr.. Pattangall If he signed
the VIGOROUSLY abusive articles on pub
lie men which he wrote for The Maine
Democrat? Did he sign the Demo
cratic State Committee communica-
ton in which he deliberately insulted
Mr.. Niilliken in such phrases as the fol-
lowing:
lis it not fact that your legislative
years are absolutely barren Of accom-
plishment? And is it because as a men,
Der of the House and Senate for six
terms you failed to do anything of value
to the people Of Maine. but always fol-
lowed a policy of obstruction, that you
ask them to elevate you to the office OF
Governor"
AS a matter Of fact, the record and
reputation Of Mr.. Milliken are we'll
known in Maine, and so are those Of
Mr.. Pattangall.
Mr.. Pattangall quotes from our
"take-off" on his silly pretense, and
later says:
ut is hardly possible that you believe
that the Democratic party. or its lead
ers," desire that any candi-
date for governor should proclaim that
he is helpless to serve decent people, or
advocate opening brothels. booze holes.
houses Of designation and gambling
Places etc, etc.
1t is possible for US to believe that a
Democratic candidate for governor can
so conduct himself as to carry to the
outlaw element the conviction that
they will not suffer at his hands, II
they will help put him in office.
We are convinced that the repeated
declaration by Oakley C. Curtis that
Names prohibtory law cannot be en-
forced" serves just that purpose.
We are convinced that the challenge
to Hon. Carl E. Milliken by Mr.. Pat
tangall at Gardiner, and by the open
letter" Of the Democratic State Com

When you wake up with backache

WHY THE PICTURE WAS THERE

Mr.. Asquith.

Mr.. Asquith's recent visit to France
with the British war council has given
a great deal of satisfaction to the
allies, for the prime minister is very
popular on the other side of the chan
mel, and when he paid a visit to the
front earlier in the war he was greatly
admired by the French soldiers.
But even celebrated politicians are
sometimes not heroes in their own

will show:

in England, lady canvasser in a
