The Republicans of Maine shoui he up

principles through the success of the whole
Republican ticket. The vote of Maine in
September, always potent in influence upon
national contests in November, will be even
more so this fall than usual. In minor
matters no side issue should be allowed to
divert the attention of any Republican from
the duty he ewes TO the party 10 which he is

preserving for American workmen the

month will not only affect this policy
through It's influence upon other states. but
il will directly control one vote in the

upon every Republican in Maine TO do his
