lesa expresses the views of a very Jarge number of other Republicans He jnys: To the Indianapolis Star: The two leading political partlc have agreed In submitting tho next step In temporance legislation to tht
people; their platforms are unmistak.v bio one for county local option, th other against It and for a smaller unit.
Their candidates are uelore the people now asking election at their hands be cause they either do or do not favor tho adoption of a county local option law. The vote, when It I recorded, will correctly represent what tho people want. Moth parties are very busy Just now pressing their devotion to the ntllrmatlve answer to Bryan's question. 'Shall tht people nil-?" There Is a line chance to practica the ntllrmativo In this matter. What could the legislature, when it meets, do so futile, so almost insulting to too people's right to rule as to overhaul this question? Futile, because If the legislature thrashes It out and passes upon it om way or tho other the people. If they hold differently, cannot help reversing them, for their armies are in full motion, with bayonets fixed, insulting, because the very legislature itself and the governor In their part conventions have just asked the pro pie what they would like about this very matter. The legislature, when it convenes, should, if this question comes up. de clare at once and unanimously that thoy have themselves, of their own mo-
Pursuant to the call of an extra sesslon of the leglllnture by the Governor of our state, the legislature' passed a county option, or. as It will in many cases turn out to be. a county prohibition net. This" wns done In the midst of a campaign in which the question whether the people wished such a law or not, was one or the principal Issues. Within only a tew weeks tho people wore oxpocted to express their opinion, or, as it was, their preference between local optlou and county option, at tho ballot-box. rnd the legislature thus to be elected, could, within a very short tlmo thereafter, have acted In accordance with tho expressed will of tho people. Xow. instead of letting the people decide and rule according to the principles upon which our Republican form of government rests, tho governor and his party deliberately took this matter out or tue hands of the people ami de
cided the issue of the eampnfcju before
the election according to their own will, thus substituting their own will I fnr tho 1 itiipviiressed and un-'
known will of the people. I
Now, without in any way consider- . tion, put it beyond their jurisdiction, ing the merits or demerits of the law j I am a Republican and a county loc-U just passed, we request the citizens of optionist, but If I were a Democrat

Indiana to ask themselves calmly and dispassionately whether such action is
not altogether subversive of popular government, and to try to answer this question, not from a partisan standpoint, but from the standpoint of Impartial free citizenship.
If it was presumed that tho people were in favor of county option and ready to say so by their ballots, thore was absolutely nothing to be gained by passing the law a few months sooner than tho coming legislature would have passed it. That there was no emergency existing for It has been tacitly admitted by the makers of the law themselves by the omission of an emergency clause It is clear, then that the action of the Governor and his party was unnecessary and useless, unless they

Now Mr. ' Taft says those islands must ultimate- j ly have Independence. When Mr. Dry- j an made phonograph records to get his views before many people the Re- j publican preis ridiculed his action as j undignified. Xow Mr. Taft has gone into the phonograph business. There I never was an end to the criticism of '

to our principles of government, and , ored dangerous. He favored tariff re
if approved, tolerated, and as it woulu be In such case, repeated, would not. In the end. entirely destroy our form of government and substitute the rule Df a clique or party for that of the people, thereby creating conditions precisely like those in South American republics whore they are the most proline source of never-ending revolutions. It does not make any difference what
tho object or nnture of the law passed In such a manner Is. This time it wns the county prohibition law; the next time It may be some other law. Tho question is whether the people of Indiana will let this attempt of the gov
ernor and his rulers, friends and servants to usurp the power of legislation go unrebuked, and thus establish a method of legislation destructive of popular government and free citizenship, or whether they will resent it in a manner which will make repetition unprovable. Nor should It make any difference which party committed this crime against free citizenship. This time it was tho Republican party. If the method is approved, It may be the Democratic party next time. Therefore we think that this method should be rejected by the people at the first opportunity offering Itself, and be mude Impossible for all future times. To do this we know of absolutely no other way but to elect a Democratic state government and a Democratic legislature. We recommend this course, free from partisanship. If tho Democrats had ncted as the Republicans did, we would recommend the election of Republicans. Wo appeal to every lover of Justice, even In politics, to every citizen who believes In political honor and honesty, to every citizen, no matter what his political views and affiliations may bo. but who favors free citizenship and government by the per) pie. Instead of by a party or clique, and to every man ,wlth civic pride in his heart, to assist by his vote In tho restoration of the people's rights and llbertUs. Indianapolis, October, 190S.

BIG DEMOCRATIC GAINS IN MAINE Only a few figures about elections In Maine are necessary to show how strongly the tide Is running this year In favor of the Democratic party. Taking the result of elections for governor within the last twenty years, we have these figures: 1590 Republican plurality. .1S.SS3 159 1 Republican plurality. .3S.9T8 1S0S Republican plurality. .21,769 1902 Republican plurality. .27.490 3901 Republican plurality. .25.S00 1908 Republican plurality.. 6,090
The small plurality of 6.000 this! i
year, artor an exciting contest that brought out a heavy vote, shows how tho political wind is blowing. The Republican national committee attempts to break the force of tho Democratic gains by saying that only state issues were Involved. But a3 the Republi cans carried tho state for congress men by less than C.000 on the total vote, It must be clear that national Is iucs wero equally as powerful as state issues In bringing about the retult.
