THE VOICE OF MAINE.

KAINE has followed Vermont in
W keeping the Republican major
ity at the normal or a little
above. and those persons who have
watched the vote OF these two New
England states for an indication Of the
public pulse now have their answer
why any State should hold two cleo
tions within two months is a mystery
but that does not lessen the interest
that centers In these contests. Tie re-
suits in Vermont and Maine are mere
straws. but they show the way 'he
wind is blowing.
At her September elections Maine
has always indicated pretty accurately
what she would do IN November. This
September majority has run up as high
as $4,000. and was wiped out in 1880
when the Democrats won by less than
200 votes. -Four years ago II mounted
to $4,000 and this time # almost
reaches these figures.
Therefore. whatever may be said Of
other sections It Is fair to conclude
from the results in these two states
that New England is solid for Repub-
licanism I'm November; and this may
be taken as an indication that New
York. which geographically and COM
mercially is close 10 New England. will
give Roosevelt and Fairbanks goo,
majority.
These September. elections are valu'
able as indicating what the average
man is thinking politically. 1t ism
always easy TO judge the effect Of poll
cies or the popularity OF candidates
Sometimes there is a landslide when i
is least expected. The news from
Maine, following. the result in Vermont
confirms the belief that the average
sentiment is about what it was fou
and eight years ago.

wATE SUGGESTED yesterday that
" inasmuch as only 1900 persons
had participated IN the Union
primary farce on Saturday last, leay-
ing neatly the entire Republican vote
yet to be polled. that the Republican
county committee can a primary for all,
with doors thrown Wide open and bars
let down. This the county committee
has done.
An candidates may now file their
names to be voted for at the only real
primary. OF course II any such were
voted for on Saturday, last, they will
be required to pledge their Willingness
to stand or fan by the result on Sep
tember "a. In other words, in case Of
defeat they cannot fall back on the
nomination made last Saturday when
only 1900 people voted. All may part-
cipaie Ia the Republican primary, but
an must stand or fall by Il.
The hope Of a united and militant
party lies in the primary week from
next saturday. The Regular. the Want
to-wln. the Union Republican, the
Roosevelt Worsingman and the colored
voter-all may 30 to the polls, register
their sentiments and help to maintain
majority rule.

a wAR WITH WHOM ~

1T REALLY begins to appear that
President Roosevelt cannot utter
the simplest proposition without
eoking shriels of "dictatorl" big
stickl" and "Jingoistl" In his public
utteranoes since he became a presi-
Dental candidate there is a great deal
that should meet with hearty approval
because it reflects the American spirit,
while OF course there are matters about
which the people OF the respective par
ties may honestly differ. A newspaper
must be poverty stricken for an issue
to take up items like the following from
the New York World:

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR cArARRH.
Just Breathe Hyomei Four Times
Day and Be Cured.

II a few years ago some one had
said you can cure catarrh by breath
ing air charged with healing balsam,
the idea would have been ridiculed and
it remained for that eminent investi-
gator, r. T. Booth, to discover in
Hyomei this method of cure.
Hyomei has performed almost mirac-
ulous cures of catarrh, and is today
recognized by leading members of the
medical profession as the only adver-
tised remedy that can be relied upon
to do just what il claims. The COM
plete outfit of Hyomei costs but S1O0
and consists OF am inhaler. a medicine
dropper and bottle Of Hyomei.
Breathe Hyomei through the inhaler
for few minutes four times day and
IL will cure the worst case of catarrh.
1T soothes and heals the musous MEM
brane of the air passages, prevents ir-
ritation, and effects a complete and
lasting cure.
In wilmington there are scores Of
well-known people who have been
cured of catarrh by Hyomei. II IL does
not cure you u. James Belt win return
the money you paid for Hyomei. This
is the strongest evidence that can be
offered as to his faith In hhs remedy.

Then one day he felt the worm Of po-
litical ambition gnawing at his vitals.
He felt the overmastering desire to

he opened his purse. thinking that he

Special to The Evening Journal.


BridgeviIe, Sept. 1s.-Delany Maddox.
the negro who is charged with killing
Joseph Polk, also colored, with gun,
has not been arrested and cannot be
located so far.
There have been various rumors since
the affair as to Maddoxs Whereabouts
and every few hours reports of his ar
rest reach here, but the rumors lack
confirmation. 1t is positively known
though that Maddox was at the home
of his mother near Princess Anne, Nd.
on Saturday but remained there but a
short time.
Detectives Francis and Ratledge are
giving the negro a hard chase and they
believe they will locate him today. The
gun with which the negro is believed
to have shot Polk was found in a field
Saturday, also a hat found near the
shooting has been identified as having
belonged to Maddox. Drs. d. d. and
f. r. Palmer held a postmortem on
Polk's body Saturday. The shot enter
ed the heart, liver, lungs and stomach.
Polk was buried Sunday.
A peculiar incident occurred prior to
the burial of Polk. His funeral was ar
ranged for Saturday and in order to
attend it nearly all the negroes en-
ployed in the local canneries quit work.
There were large quantities of tomatoes
on hand ready to be canned and fearing
that if they were left over until Mon
day they would spoil managers of the
works induced the undertaken in charge
Of the funeral to postpone 1t until Sun
day.

From the Washington Post.
The Presidents letter Of acceptance
is oRoseveltian. II reveals the Wig
orous, aggressive man. no longer en-
trammeled by the conservatism of the
cautious candidate. He challenges the
opposition fearlessly and writes as one
who feels his calling and election sure.
There Is enough spirit i'm the docu-
ment TO arouse the partisan masses. II
Is "a veritable keynote for the stump.
Many OF his utterances viii be COM
bated-some OF them, no doubt, sue

appeal to Republican pride and kindle
anew the party fervor Roosevelt is
