What Archie C. Towle, Democratic Candidate
for Congress in Third Maine District
Stands For !'
I am not leaking potttlcal office
for the sake of the office, but I have
teen asked to offer my eervices to
the people of the Third Maine Dl«
trict, and X will gladly eerva to the
best of my ability. I would repre
sent and serve the Interests of all
regardless of class with the Idea of
the most good to the most people,
l.ut always on good principle. I
would vote as I thought right, regard
less of the nearness of nil election.
1 recognize the need of legislation
to assist the farmer to gain his
proper place In the world.
The need of direct dealing between
producer and consumer such as will
reduce the cost of living and limit or
destroy the opportunity of the profi
teer.
The right of the farmer and con
sumer, the full, free and unquestioned
right to organize and to purchase
and sell co-operatively.
That the farmer he properly repre
sented in legislative halls and on
boards and commissions directly con
cerned with farming.
The need of steps that will go to
check, reduce or end farm tenancy.
The need of personal commodity
credit facilities on reasonable terms
for farmers.
The need of securing to co-opera
tive organizations of farmers engaged
in interstate commerce, service and
supplies equal in all respects to those
furnished private enterprises under
like circumstances.
The re-opening of the railroad
question if reasonable and satisfac
tory service is not soon afforded.
To use my best efforts to secure
the payment of the war debt chiefly
through the graduated income tax,
or otherwise by those best able to
pay.
The need of conserving the forests
and stop the devastation which has
already doubled the price of lumber.
To maintain the right of free
speech, free assembly, free press and
collective bargaining.
And as of particular interest to the
woman voter 1 would favor an ade
quate appropriation for the Chil
dren's Hureau. the prohibition of child
labor throughout the United States,
and the protection of infant life
through aVederal program for mater
nity anti infancy care.
Approval of the idea of a Federal
Department of Education. Federal
aid when necessary for the removal
of illiteracy and for increase of
teachers’ salaries: instruction in the
duties and ideals of citizenship for
tile youth of our land and the new
comers to our shores.
The establishment of a woman's
department in the Department of I.a
bor with adequate appropriation for
investigation of all matters pertain
ing to wage earning women.
The continuance of appropriations
to carry on the active campaign for
prevention of venereal disease.
The enactment of laws relieving
American born women resident in
the United States from forfeiting
their citizenship by marriage with
aliens, and that alien women shall
not acquire citizenship by marriage
with Americans, and that the women
of the United States shall have the
same independent status for citizen
ship as that which now obtains to
men.
I know that the people of Oakland
believe in me. but nevertheless I wish
to explain some things in connection
with the statements of John A.
Peters, my political opponent for the
office of Representative to Congress,
at the Republican rally Monday night.
August 30th. at Oakland
Evidently Peters has been and is
somewhat worried as to the outcome
of the election, and as I had heard
that he was saying some things with
the idea of discrediting me in the
eyes of the voters and not being able
to understand how this could be true,
finding It convenient to attend this
rally and meet him face to face, my
own campaign progreaeing very sat
isfactorily, 1 did so.
| Now perhaps had there not been
ladies present he might have called
• me a more vile name, but under the
circumstances he could only vent his
j pent up feelings by calling me a
Republican. Now if Peters felt bet
j ter after saying that I am glad for
I him, and after the meeting I simply
I told him that whenever in the future
he had occasion to speak of me to
tell the truth, for it was due the good
people of Maine. Now I have a lot
of good friends in my home town and
over Maine who are Republicans
and I did not feel so badly about it
on my own account, but as I told
Peters he ought to tell the truth
whether he was speaking of me or
the league of Nations. He told us a
few things about the l.eague of Na
tions. and he said that in the Coun
cil there were 9 votes and that the
j United States only had one, but he
failed to state that to be of any
effect the vote must be unanimous.
He also failed to read or quote Arti
cle 10 or any other article.
Finally Peters was very loose with
the League of Nations issue, saying
that he did not care whether we
stayed out or went in. but that he
; had been in favor of it and perhaps
, would be again, all depending on
' which way the election went.
I He went to great length to tell the
audience that as I was a Republican
. cn the Democratic ticket it would
| be impossible for me to find any com
pany in Washington when elected to
Congress because all questions were
decided in caucus and that a man
could not line up with both parties
! and so I would have no chance to
exercise my vote. I gather by this
that he had learned that I had de
! dared myself as maintaining the
right to stand for what is right when
and where I may find same, and he
i being a strict politician could not un
derstand. I am yet unable to under
stand the application of this principle
to me when I recall that although his
party platform is against the League
of Nations that he is not averse to
going in. and that too after ridicul
| ing the provision of the League.
I told Peters after the meeting
that I was the Democratic candidate
standing on the Democratic platform,
hut he insisted that I was a Repuh
! lican. so I suppose he considers he
has taken my right of choice away
' from me. but you know I can't just
! believe that I am so easy a mark.
Finally wanting to excuse himself
, because of having voted for the Esch
; Cummings bill he explained that I
1 favored the Plumb Plan for govern
ment ownership of railroads, and
: attempted to explain the provisions
of the Plumb Plan,
i Now with transportation conditions
as bad as they are the railroads hav
! ing been returned to private control
for a period of five months and with
a most liberal guarantee by Congress,
and now a continuation of that guar
antee through the increased rates
granted by the Interstate Commerce
■ Commission. I do not blame Peters
for hunting for some way out, but I
! do think that if he was so violently
opposed to the Plumb Plan that he
ought to be able to tell the truth
about some of its provisions
He stated that the Plumb Plan
! called for the purchase of the rail
j road by the government for "about
*30,000,000.000 and that the railroad
men would fix their own wages.” i
T know the people will believe me |
; when I say that the railroads them
s»!ves. only claimed a hook value of j
$20,000,000,000 and that the Plumb
; Plan supporters claim that $8,000
000.000 of that is watered stock, and !
that as to wages there is no provi
sion that the men should set their
own wages, but it does provide that ,
to secure Increased
muit flrit be earned which wo^e?
accompllfhed by a co*op»rat.ve'ti,*}
on the part of the employee* »•<.«
ciala, and when thi* n Msompw
provision la also made for a reducj,
in transportation rate* Ma«o»2
the management of the railrotd,
not to be by the employees, vj
an equal number of repress ntat!?H
of the public, of the managing 'j?
cials and of the employees.
Mr. Peters took considerable ^
erty in explaining mv attitude Jorr
have not expressed myself p- V
question.
Finally Mr. Peters’ whole adlm.
was very unstatesmanlike for :■*»!!
pretty much all ridicule. But jj?
way I think he understands rn®
ter than he did. and the pr-rp, "

Peters to see the error of fc:s Wa" **
Going back to the transportation
question. Mr. Peters said that -j,.
toads were turned back to the owj«„
in a deplorable condition, espevallv
as to cars and locomotives but
did not tell that during eoverrnw
operation (which by the wav
spoke of as government ownership)
Director Genera! Hines asked „
appropriation of 750 million dollars
for the purchase of new equipment
and that the railroad mar.,.cements
appeared and claimed that new g
ment was not needed and th cs -re
return to private control efluent
service would he given wvh the
equipment then at hand, and that
in spite of these claims th® govern,
ment purchased lOn.ooa new ears
which have been in constant use
since. Thus the reads are r.ot civ.
ing efficient service with th® :v 055
cars more than they c!a.m®d they
needed and the fact that more and
better equipment is not non at hand
is due to the Republican Cor.ry«s
and to the rail owners Hundreds of
miles in freight routes wer® saved
under government operation. mie
case 800, and other cases 2™ miles
and several one hundred miles more
and less with a corresponding in
crease in available cars because of
the short hauls and consequent
earlier unloading. Pome other time
perhaps it will be opportune to d:s.
cuss the Plumh Plan Meanwhile
consider the facts as here stated
Now since John A. Peters is at
tempting to discredit me I think hit
record should be reviewed
I call attention to the fact that
Congressman Peters failed to rot* on
the question of expelling Berger from
the House, he voted against a bill
authorizing association of farmers
when the Volstead Act was vetoed br
the President and the question of
passing it over the veto cam® up
in the House he did r.ot vet® a’ si!,
he voted for a separate peace witk
nermany and against the Soldiers'
Bonus" bill.
Peters record of absenteeism is
bad, showing that out of 300 roll calls
he was present at 600 and only vetei
at 300. (Exact figures—roil call tit
present 557, voted 327.)
If it is proper when a mar. offers
himself for re-election to view ha
record, then it is proper for me to
show these things to the public.
There is more that can be said as
to the record and there is also mot*
to be said on the railroad transact
tation question, but as w® wise ts
give the companies a fair trial '' ’■l'
doubt will be well to wait a '. ’.tie for
the public mind to adjust itself
Many of these things I have r.st
been discussing, but I find the state
ments of Mr. Peters require vk«
expression on my part.
