If the insurgent movement within the Republican party is, as some persons have declared, merely in the interests of some candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 1912, who is the man? <>ls it Roosevelt or Stubbs of Kansas?

Just as a matter of interesting history it may be stated that the delectable anti-saloon league does not think that county option is a good thing for the people of New York, but does profess to think that is just the thing for the people of Indiana and that Indiana votes should elect a nonpartisan legislature to perpetuate it. The Hon. Albert J. Beveridge also wants a non-partisan legislature to perpetuate him in the United States senate. This community of interests looks more and more suspicious. More custom house-frauds have come to light in New York. Speaking of the sugar frauds sometime ago Leslie M. Shaw, who was secretary of t,he treasury in the Roosevelt cabinet said that when he undertook to act fie

found that ‘‘his hands were tied.” It has never yet been explained who it was tied them. Mr. Roosevelt, who is now busy saying what he will do with “rich crooks or poor crooks” if he gets a chance, failed dismally in tire matter of the custom house crooks who thrived while he was president.

Harding, the stand pat Republican candidate for governor in Ohio, has come out strong for the tariff commission proposition because it will make protection safe and put it “beyond the/reach of progressive Republicans and hostile Democrats.” Harding is the representative of the Taft wing in Ohio politics. But the tariff Commission proposal is mere humbug. The stand pikers declare it will do one thing; the insurgents say it will do another. The Democrats assert that it will do nothing except delay honest tariff reform. And the Democrats are right.

A Washington dispatch says that “it seems altogether likely that one effect of the Maine outcome will be to influence Demo■crats in various states not to be led away from their own party by the insurgent Republican movement.” There is not now and never has been the slightest reason for any Democrat being "led away" by the insurgent Republican movement. If the movement represented anything more than a tight between different Republican elements for the control of their party, it will result in sincere insurgents being led to join the Democrat party. And this is a thing that seems to be happening.

. The Democrats carried the election in Maine because they stood for the things the people want and are determined to have in national, state and local affairs. A Democratic governor and Democratic state officials, supported by a Democratic legislature, were chosen by the voters of Maine because they wanted to change conditions that have became intolerable in the State. In an effort to* correct abuses in the national administration the Democrats were given half of the congressional delegation, heretofore solidly Republican, and a United States senator. The candates that the Republicans elected to congress had their majorities cut down from several thousand to less than three hundred.
