VOTING according to one's best , judgment and conscientiously : is a high and important civic ., duty, and so It is not out of . place, to think over the' situation and make right decisions on tljis Sun day preceding the? election., ; The Journal has Jplalnly and Tigorously presented its views and hopes they have been .fairly- considered by its many voting readers, , but will have no complaint to make whatever the result, if all, will vote as suggested, as they really and intelligently think best, for their and the country's best interests. Because; voters "disagree with it as to any, candidate or pol icy or proposition. The Journal does not regard them as ' "geese," or "frogs," or cattle or lower animals cf any kindf It accords to, them the same sincerity and desire for good results that it has 'itself. It is In this Bplrlt of tolerance that The Journal; as a - final' word sug gests that voters he 'careful not to yield too readily; to purely partisan eppealB, and especially that they view with deserved dlstruBt the shal low pretense that the election of Governor- Chamberlain: would be in the nature f a rebuke to Roosevelt "The fact is, one apparent to" any ob - serving voter, that Roosevelt and his policies are cordially and; sincerely s pproved and indorsed by Governor Chamberlain,' as Taft's would be if they should be the same as. Roose velt's, 'whlle no j one knows Just vhereMr. Cake would stand, as -to these policies if he should he elect- ' ed.! V, !:; -.; ;i "i: . 'if' Si- A V farther apparent fact Is tthat voters 1 Are ' dividing on new lines, new issues; and that, old alignments of parties are becoming obliterated. So an appeal for 'either, party,, re verting to its ."history and tradi tions," is pointless, out-of-date and without any proper force whatever. Host- of what Roosevelt stands for, what he stands for as a whole, is neither Republican nor Democratic, Imt'is both, republican and demo cratlcThe, rank." and file .pf'hpth parties, the masses, approve and support .him, while some of both parties oppose him. ;! The parties are thus cut right in two. Most, of the Republican leaders now in congress are opposed to Roosevelt : and his policies, so when voters are asked to support the Republican party, what is meant Roosevelt or his Republl-, - can 'opponents? v The way to approve and support Roosevelt is to support Rooseveltlan men, of whichever party, and Cham berlain is one of them. . Supporting a Republican is not necessarily supi , porting' Roosevelt, Jnay in fact be acting in opposition! to him and his policies. For Roosevelt is' more than a Republican, a partisan, and so is jChamberlaln, if';;-:;,'"' ; Think these and minor questions of the election .over today, and , de cide to do not what some partisan and probably paid writer or speaker has told you to do, but what, regard less of partisan appeals, you honest ly believe is best for the people.- For let us repeat and insist upon it once more. It fs the people's interests as a whole, and not any party's; that deserve your conscientious . consid eration. ...
