TiriXK IT OVER TODAY.
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

gests that voters he 'careful not to

view with deserved dlstruBt the shal
low pretense that the election of
Governor- Chamberlain: would be in
the nature f a rebuke to Roosevelt

policies are cordially and; sincerely

Chamberlain,' as Taft's would be if
they should be the same as. Roose

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

without any proper force whatever.

what he stands for as a whole, is

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
