N. E. Products
Boosted This Week

New England Week is here. This
week has been set apart for the pro-
motion Of New England industries and
merchants in every New England town
will feature in a display of New Eng
land products.
Waterville is doing her part. for 80
merchants in this city have arranged
to show goods manufactured in local
plants. There has been a tremendous
call for the New England posters
which are sent to the Chamber Of
Commerce.. and Mrs. Wallace has had
to order several shipments SO great has
been the call. The small seals also
have been much in demand. These are
quite handy for scaling letters and
packages. and do very well as good

Nevertheless selling soon come into
the market and carried prices off
about IL cents to new lows for the

While the immediate effects of such

the grain markets, although n mark =

in conclusion, Eve see no hope and
much danger in this movement which
seeks to usurp the Progressive name
We regard it as a supreme
challenge to vindicate the memory of
Theodore Roosevelt by repudiating this
attempt of frustrated ambition to pro-
mote the class cleavage in class poll
tics, which Roosevelt spent his life to
prevent"
The statement is as follows:
THE undersigned, who were sup
porters OF Theodore Roosevelt and the
Progressive party, hereby express re-
sentiment at the attempt to arrogate
the name of Progressive for the radi-
cal movement represented by the can
didacy of Senator Robert NJ. La Fol-
lette and join in this statement of rea-
sons why his candidacy is not entitled
to Progressive support
THE movement in which we united
with Theodore Roosevelt and mill
ions of other Americans. under the
historic name of Progressive, was
not radical. Its purpose was to i'm
prove American institutions; not to
substitute others for them. It stood
for political and social justice; not
economic revolution. 1t believed in
democracy; not Socialism. 1t sought
the welfare Of all the people; not the
welfare of class against class. Many
OF its policies are now the law, and
we will continue our efforts on be-
half of the remainder.
THE La Toilette movement, in
spite Of the good intentions of many
members Of groups now sought to be
delivered to 1t by misguided leaders,
is the reverse of all this. The only
political party of which Senator La
Toilette is the avowed candidate is
the Socialist party. The rest con-
sists OF incongruous groups invited
as class blocs rather than as citizens
holding common views, who agree
only in their disagreement. The So
cialfsts obviously regard the La Fol-
lette candidacy as a step toward
their goal of economic revolution
based on class war. So do wet Its
only possible purpose or effect IL to
establish class party. bent on over
turning the government and econom-
Is institutions of America. The mere
magic of spurious label gives 1t no
claim to progressive support.
Simply as q personal candidate,
Senator La Toilette has earned no
title to the confidence Of supporters
Of Theodore Roosevelt. He refused
them his aid when 1t would have
been decisive of success. He has held
aloof from any Progressive move
ment OF which he was not the bene-
nciary. The Republican Party which
he now repudiates was satisfactory
to him when 1t had shrunk to q mi
norfty fragment dominated exclusive
ly by its conservative element. He
said in 1912: II (the leaders) are
recreant to their trust, the party
may suffer the temporary defeat Of
its purposes. But what abject folly
to seek upon such q basis to destroy
great political party . . with a
clear progressive majority In its
ranks. within which there has been
builded up a progressive movement
that promises to make the Republi-
can Party the instrument through
which the government will be res
tored to the people, 80 And up
on that fact in recent political his
