A DEsPICABIiE EFFORT

There are some. we feel sure, who
will conclude that Senator Under
wood Of Alabama, has not really re-
hected credit on his worthy record.
by coming down into Maine for the
purpose Of deceivinE people with the
notion that the Republican party in
this State and the Ku Klux Khan are
Identical or in anyway bound to-
xether.
While he IL doing this. the Khan Is
said to be sending out in some Of the
counties Of the State. instructions to
It's members to cut tickets. picking
Republicans here and Democrats
there.
There IN logic In the conclusion
that those who vote the straight
party tickets In this fall election are
by 20 much. weakening the power
Of the invisible government which
Senator Underwood so wildly de-
nouncss.
The Khan wants only one straight
ticket. the ticket Of the Khan. chosen
to suit it, secret purpose, II what
Mr.. Underwood says Of it be true.
He says he wants to sustain our con-
stitutional government. Now this,
90 far ~ experience in this country
shows. has been done through the
medium of political parties. not Sc
cret. not an oligarchy, but compelled
by the exigencies OF existence II by
no other. to secure popular support.
To those who know Maine, as
Senator Underwood cannot possibly
know It. the idea that the Ku Klux
Khan. such As he describes, can ever
dominate either the Republican or
the Democratic party in this State
ought to be incredible. Trying to
spread any such idea abroad in the
minds OF people il despicable. Is an
Insult to Names intelligence. to her
manhood and womanhood. however
those responsible may intend It.

Editors Letter Box
Commenting the Governor

Editor Kennebec Journal
In last Wednesdays issue of your
paper. Gov. Baxter stated that his
attention had been called to a most
cruel act committed in neighboring
state where a dog was dropped over
board from an airplane and upon
failure Of the parachute to open, the
dog was crushed to death. What a
terrible thing and how could such
as that amuse anyone or entertain
to any extent? Money gained in
forcing innocent animals to perform
in any way will never benefit any
one. -f
The Governor of our state can and
will speak in their behalf and has
called the attention of the people to
the fact that they should be kind to
all dumb creatures.
Is it true that the Governor Of
Pennsylvania has. sentenced his dog
to life imprisonment for killing a
cat? 1 have read letters in the Bos-
ton Post saying that such is the case
Very truly.
MRS. P. L. SANDERSON.
Gardiner, Maine.
