PATTANGALL SOMEWHAT DE.
TACHEO

Governor Bakers appeal to the
Republicans of Maine to put an end
to sectarian fana ticism and get down
to business does not meet with ap-
proval In one quarter.
Mr.. Pattangall, seeking the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor, does
not appear overjoyed. He does not
conceal the fact that 1t did not come
TO him like a draught of clear, cold
spring water" More like an unex-
pected shower bath. perhaps.
At first this might seem surprising
in one of such n kindly nature. Here
were the Republicans trying to avoid
the contagion of bitterness, which
MIR. PattanSall in his celebrated Bid
deford speech declared was founded
on hate, devoted to intolerance and
dedicated to bigotry."
But then, reformers are sometimes
human, like politicians and governors
and other selfish folk: they have
been known to want a reform left to
their exclusive attention. which of
course is bad for that which may be
in need of reformation.
Possibly Mr.. Pattangall, himself.
has supplied the explanation in that
Biddeford speech above referred to.
in this statement which he made:
"If the Republicans cannot cope
with this evil, Democrats assisted by
Republicans, who place citizenship
above partizanchip, will take care of
IT,"
Yes. yes! slt is all plain now. But
what OF suffering humanity while re-
formers seek copyright on reform?
Now as a matter of fact Mr.. Pat
tangall has no copyright on opposi-
ton to fanaticism. MIR. harrington,
who also is n candidate for governor,
speaking at Waterville before Mr..
Pattangall spoke at Biddeford an
nounced himself as squarely opposed
to that which tends 70 lead men and
women away from safe and normal
standards OF Judgment
or course. disruption Of Republic
cans would fit in with certain politi-
cal ambitions. 1t would be of advan-
tage to the Democrats in Maine and
in the country. 1t undoubtedly would
bring joy to those who are now
bounding President Coolidge, We
fail to see, however, how this would
help suffering humanity in its pres
ent struggle with fanaticism. Evil
IDENTIFY this does not disturb Mr.. Pat
tangal,; possibly he is willing for folks
to endure the fever, without. even
cooling draught to parched tongue,
until after election.
But Is IL possible Mr.. PattangaH
has become so-er-detached, as to
place partizanship above citizenship!

A Non.Partisan Speech

On. y. Times, Dem.)
President Coolidge is a Republican.
He is a candidate for the Republican
nomination this year. His speech in
this city was heralded in advance as
intended to figure largely in his cam
paigi,. Yet nowhere in it did he
strike a partisan note. 1t was of
course u political speech, but it was
comparison. This was especially the
case with the two passages of it
which are most important and will be
most eagerly read-those dealing with
corruption at Washington.
Treating the latter subject at the
end of his speech. the Iresiddnt gave
to the country every assurance which
it could ask. Mr.. Coolidge feels with
all his fellow country-men a depress-
ing sense of humiliation at the in
stances of gross betrayal of public
trust that have been disclosed. He
also blazes at them with righteous
wrath. And he reads his official
duty to be Immediate. adequate. I'M
shrinking prosecution, criminal and
civil. to punish the guilty" TO that
.'n pledges himself absolutely. Poll
tics and craftsmanship he rules out
with scorn. A Republican himself,
he will shield no man because he is
Republican: nor will he prosecute
anyone simply because he is Demo-
crat. The search for corruption will
be speedy and unsparing. Through
out, the President intends to follow
the clear open path of justice" He
wants no historical QUERY. He would
have no herding OF the innocent with
the guilty. But he wolld have every
evidence of fraud traced to the per-
sons responsible for It. mo matter
who is hurt or what Il consequence
es." The whole is stern announce
mcnt Of what the President conceives
to he his duty following upon the
revelations at Washington. and in
that duty, he declares. Il do not in
tend to fail" BY now the people
have every reason % believe that
President Coolidge will not fail"
