National Issues in Names Election.


There is no getting around the fact
that national as Well as State issues
enter into the Maine campaign and
must be considered by every man who

tional issues at this time, and makes
weak and pitiful the desperate Demo
cratic attempts to dodge national issues
and to obscure them by raising a dust
over State affairs. 1t is a fact which
cannot be controverted that every Re
publican vote cast in Maine at the
approaching State election is an en-
dorsement of the administration of
William Mckinley. and an expression
in favor Of the continuance Of Repub-
lican prosperity; while every Demo
cratic vote will be a vote for Bryan
and the policy Of 16-to-l-and- scuttle.

young American flag where the British

they assembled in The neighbarinS

that the Almighty works through hu-
man agencies, he forgot to recognize

borne in the attack until. getting lit
