Of course, a. presented by Charles E.
Hughes and Carl e. Milliken. appeal
to the intelligence Of Maine audiences
and readers. Outside speakers, in
GLIDING Governor Hughes and Colonel
Roosevelt, forcefully emphasized the
humiliating conduct Of our relations
with Mexico, the dangers to the coun-
try Of the Southern caucus oligarchy,
and the sickening subserviency Of the
government to a voting class: while
Maine Republicans confined them
selves largely to a presentation of
actual conditions which had been set
forth in a false light.
II Manager Pattangall attempted,
during the campaign. to restrain some
Of the tactics Of those Of his party
who thought they could win by
strong arm measures, then the rank
and file Of Democracy in Maine should
be grateful to him. The Argus seems
to think that anything short Of Bow
cry methods is "pussy-foot" and de-
mands that Mr.. Pattangall be relegat-
ed to the Junk heap"
1t occurs to us, and we believe that
our opinion will commend itself to Re-
publican and Democratic leaders alike.
that no other man in the Democratic
party in Maine could have saved that
party from the most overwhelming de-
feat suffered by it in the last 80 years
And we wonder what the regular or
ganization would have done with the
problems which confronted Mr.. Pat
tangall at the outset-a discredited
administration in State ond nation;
Maine voters aroused by Democratic
tariff folly, ship building blow. gov
eminent ownership scheme, Southern
caucus dictation, rum and brothel pro-
motion, and utter failure to defend
Americans at home or abroad.
What would the regular Democratic
organization in Maine have done with
such bludgeons as the Argus and the
Sentinel with it's Augusta snipe gath
erer? What would they have done
with the Governors financial hobby,
while the people were looking only at
the high tax rate and the unexpended
balances?
Governor Curtis apologized for the
Argus despicable abuse Of an estima-
tle young man (Col. Hale) whose only
offense consisted in daring to be a
candidate. The Governor should now
apologize to Mr. Pattangall for the
returns he gets after hard fight.

Has President Wilson kept us out of
war. as Democracy claims as its only
recommendation for reelection? Read
what Julius Kahn, the California
statesman says about 1t:
Ask the wives and the mothers and
the sisters of the Mexicans who were
killed at Vera Cruz whether we were
at war with Mexico.
Ask the wife of brave Capt. Boyd,
who was killed at Carrizal. whether
we were at war with Mexico.
Ask the mother Of brave Lieut..
Adair, who was also killed at Carrizal,
whether we were at war with Mexico.
Ask the relatives of the United
States soldiers who were treacherous-
ly slain at Carrizal whether we were
at war with Mexico.
Ask the relatives Of the IS American
civilians who were butchered at Santa
Ysabel in Mexico whether we were at
war with Mexico.
Ask the mothers and the sisters OF
those who were slaughtered in the
raid on Columbus, N. Mex. whether
we were at war with Mexico.
Ask the citizens Of Brownsville, Red
House Ferry, and Progreso post Of
flee and Los Peladas whether. in the
attacks Of Carranzista adherents and
the looting. burning, and killing OF the
peaceful inhabitants Of those places,
the President has kept us out of war
Ask the women and children who
were threatened with death at Tam
pico by an infuriated Mexican moi
whether the President has kept US out
of war.
Ask the thousands Of American cit
liens who were called upon to abandon
their property in Mexico and to return
forthwith to the United States wheth-
er the President has kept us out OF
war
Ask the hundreds of those refugees
who are in the United States today
practically penniless and in want. who
were forced to leave their property
and homes in Mexico because the Will
Son administration refused to give
them the protection to which they are
Justly entitled, whether the President
has kept us out of war.
Ask the thousands Of peaceful Mex.
leans who have suffered all the priva-
tons Of hunger and famine during the
period Of "watchful waiting" whether
the President has kept us out Of war
And, finally. ask the wives and the
children, the dependent mothers and
fathers and sisters Of the 10000 ma.
tional guardsmen who have been
called from their usual peaceful avo'
cations and who will be encamped or
the Mexican border for the Lord
knows how long, whether the Presi.
dent has kept us out Of war with Mex

Republican Nominations:
FOR PRESIDENTS:
CHARLES EVANS HUGHES
VICE PRESIDENT:
CHARLES ". FAIRBANKS
Our Respects.

Now that the reverberations Of the
political guns have died away and VIC
tory and peace are twins on the Re-
publican banners, it is time for Re-
publicans to give second thought to
their leadership in the campaign just
passed. Coming directly to the point,
we mean proper appreciation Of the
services Of Chairman Frank J. Ham
and his loyal associates Of the Repub-
lican State Committee.
We have been in position to see much
Of the inside workings and to know Of
some of the underhanded methods
adopted by outside parties to handicap
the committee in their work Of organ
ization. and to discredit, in an adroit
way, certain candidates. We are in
position to understand the big way in
which Chairman Ham has met this
treachery, and discounted 1t without
ever forgetting his courtesy and the
best interests Of the party. 1t is our
sincere belief that Chairman Ham has
never resorted to dishonest, question:
able. or even petty measures to secure
advantage over political opponents;
and we are certain that he has suffered
much from the backbiting Of those
who care moro for personal aggran-
dizement than for party success.
Our hat Is off to Chairman Ham;
and to those who have worked with
him to present the truth to the voters
and to organize Republican forces into
a workable effective body. The scare
aimed at Republican voters through
out-of-the- State papers, and intended
to dishearten and undermine Chairman
Ham, proved a rank fizzle. The whole
thing was so obvious that a political
tyro could understand.
Congratulations to the Republican
State Committee and to other COM
mittees of the organization in district,
county and town.

New Wilson Dance
Oath Times.)


The Wilson dance is now said to be a
popular terpischorean figure in social
circles in Washington. 1t was described
to Bath people by Congressman Kelley a,
the rally here Saturday night. II don't
know much about dancing" said the con-
gresham, but I had heard so much
about the new figure and it's popularity
that I asked a member of the social set
who is an authority on such matters how
it differed from other dances and this was
the reply: Why Mr. Kelley it's like this,
one step forward then two steps back
ward hesitate then side STEP And the
audience which had been listening to the
congressman's review Of the President
hesitating and vaccilating policies 1ecid-
ed that the dance had been properly
named"
