The Democratic Rally 
All this talk about Congressman 
Gardner being a “menace” to the 
‘‘honor and moral interests” of Essex 
County, unfit to represent the district 
at Washington and being an enemy 
to everything favorable to the work- 
ingman, is tommy-rot. 
Rev. A. A. Berle, the Salem clergy- 
man who makes such windy state- 
ments ought to be ashamed of him- 
self. Somebody ought to take pity 
on him and tell him what a huge joke 
he really is. He was the only blem- 
ish on the cleanliness of the rally in 
Manchester Tuesday night. He is 
an insult to the voters of this district, 
Democratic and Republican alike. 
If Gardner and his principles are 
really so bad as Mr. Berle would have 
us think it is high time to give him the 
“hook.” But, as a matter of fact Mr. 
Gardner is one of the most efficient 
men in public life and, as Speaker 
Cole of Andover says “if the cam- 
paign against him is to rest upon such 
attacks as you (Mr. Berle) are mak- 
ing, it does not seem possible that the 
intelligent voters of this district will © 
fail in their clear duty to repudiate 
his traducers at the coming election.” 
Mr. Schofield is a first-rate kind of 
a man; he is the kind that makes 
friends. He has many in Manches- 
ter, and not all Democrats either. 
But it is safe to say he would gain a 
great many more friends if the Salem 
parson had less to say in the matter. 
A little of his talk goes a great way 
with intelligent Essex County people. 
Running a newspaper is just like 
running a hotel only different. 
When a man goes into a hotel and 
finds something on the menu which 
does not suit him, he does not raise 
hades with the landlord and tell 
him to stop his old hotel. Well, 
hardly. He sets that dish to one 
side and wades into the many dishes 
that suit him. It is different with 
some newspaper readers. They 
find an article occasionally that does 
not suit them exactly and without 
stopping to think it may please 
hundreds of other readers, make 
grand stand play and tell the editor 
how a paper should be run and what 
should be put into it. But such 
people are becoming fewer every 
year.—Winthrop Sun. 
COMMUNICATIONS © 
This Gardner-Schofield Contest. 
Editor of the North Shore Breeze: 
Just a few lines of your valuable 
space to say a word on this Gard- 
ner-Schofield contest. Mr. Scho- 
field and his ministerial following 
are running up and down this  dis- 
trict giving us a post mortem ex- 
planation of why and how the sol- 
diers’ bounty bill introduced by the 
senator was unconstitutional; and 
calling the voters’ attention to how 
very near he came to doing some- 
thing for the soldier, and incidental- 
ly for the people; and when the sil- 
ver-tongued orator . from Ipswich 
finishes his dissertation on Mr. 
Gardner’s shortcomings on labor 
votes, etc., (evidently incubated in 
the “Chronicle” office) Rev. Dr. 
Berle, the Salem clergyman who is 
a man of very few words, but who 
has the habit of repeating himself 
very often, pours forth a tirade on 
the corrupt use of money in a con- 
test of years gone by. It strikes 
me after listening to these gentle- 
men, that the Doctor would find 
better occupation in feeding the 
lambs of his flock in Salem, rather 
than in laraping the sheep of the 
Republican party on the stump, 
and that the Senator could accom- 
plish more by telling us of some- 
thing he has really succeeded in do- 
ing, rather than what he has intend- 
ed to do. 
plished, and not merely by his in- 
tentions. The able work Mr. 
Gardner has done in Congress is a 
matter of history, and not of prom- 
ise; it is a matter of record and not 
of anticipation. He does not have 
to come before us explaining why 
he accomplished nothing. He has 
no dishonorable or unfulfilled obli- 
gation to explain. He comes before 
the voters with a clear record of 
duty well performed, a representa- 
tive of the administration in power, 
and is in a position to serve this dis- 
trict better than any other man, re- 
gardless of his abilities. 
A Republican Voter. 
Speaker Cole Denies 
Statement of Rev. A. A. Berle. 
Andover, Mass., Oct. 24, 1906. 
Dear Sir :— 
My attention is called to an item 
in this morning’s Boston Herald 
purporting to be a report of your 
speech in Beverly last evening, in 
which you say, “Honest John Cole, . 
Speaker of the Massachusetts House 
of Representatives, says “Gardner 
today is a greater menace to the 
honor and moral interests of Essex 
County in public life than any So- 
cialist or Anarchist within her 
borders.” 
To say that | am surprised at 
such a statement is but a mild ex- 
pression, for not only have I never 
made such a statement as you 
charge me with, but I have never 
held any opinion regarding Mr. 
Gardner's relation to the public 
service other than that of the high- 
est commendation. 
That you, a minister of the Gos- 
pel, and a presumed _ sender of 
truth, should utter such a malicious 
falsehood even in the heat of a bit- 
ter personal political prejudice, is 
beyond my comprehension. 
I believe that Congressman 
Gardner is today one of the most 
efficient men in public life, and if 
the campaign against him is to rest 
upon such attacks as you are mak- 
ing, it does not seem possible that 
the intelligent voters of this dis- 
trict will fail in their clear duty to 
repudiate his traducers at the com- 
ing election. 
Copies of this letter are sent to 
the press at the same time it is sent 
to you. 
Respectfully yours, 
John N. Cole, 
We can judge Mr. Gard- 
ner’s ability by what he has accom-
