TROUBLE IN MAINE.
Republican Party Badly Divided h,
Fights within Itself.

Augusta, Me. July 10-Torn by dis
sensions the republican organization
of Maine is rapidly approaching q
state Of decentralization.
Although tho active campaign Is yet
several months's distant, already the
leaders are anxiously casting about for
a balm which will offer some hope Of
relief to the painful condition of af-
fairs.
1t hasn't been found yet--the more
efforts that are made to heal the
wounds Of warning factions the deeper
the sores appear to become, and daily
now reasons for splits in the ranks
seem to arise.
The six basic causes may he searched
much of this unhappy situation of af
fairs in tho Maine g. O. r.
First-Thc impossible chasm be-
tween tho rcaubmssion and prohibition
wings of tho organization.
Second--Tho state House fight be-
tween Augusta and Portland.
Third--The strong popular objec-
tion to the continuance of the Stursis
law.
Fourth-The perpetuation Of what is
donominatcd ring rule" in patronage
and caucus manipulation
Fifth--Constant pickering between
tho 'ins" and the "outs." and the ap-
parent determination of each to defeat
tho other at the expense Of the organ
ization
Sixth-Tho wire laying and fence
building Of those who have hopes" in
case there should he vacancies in the
United states senatorial representa-
tion.
Any one of these causes is sufficient
to give an average party manag ger
chlls in a hot July sun, but the COM
hlnation at one time, in conjunction
with the increased democratic vote and
control in several cities, has proved
enough to create an epidemic Of ap,ue
among all those who aspire to sit e.
yond tho throne and help manipulate
the wires.
The most harrassing situation probably.
Is that caused by the antagonism between
the resuhnissonist and prohibit!onists
Roughly It may be stated that republl-
| cans In the cities favor resubmission.
while republicans In the agricultural Sec
| lions whoop It up cheerily for hibition.
even with little nulllfca ton thrown in.
Neither side can see any good in the
promise, Some Of the party managers
| thought they did pretty well last summer
when word was sent around to the re-
submiss!onlsts to keep the matter out OF
the caucuses II possible. and the Sta to
convention would take care OF the cause
of putting the rum question before the
| people again. Some of tho resubmission-
| lists needed the advice and candidates
were slipped through without Instructions,
| only to find at the convention that the
| prohibitionists hung on for their rights
and got the usual prohibition plank in.
| Then the Senate put itself on record
| in favor of letting the people vote on the
| matter. but It was impossible to get two
| thirds of the members of the House ia
| follow in line,
| The resuhmisslonists accordingly We're
vexed. They felt they had been deceived
and they assert the party managers never
| intended to submit the prohibition amend
merit to the people.

THE BABY'S FOOD
Proper Selection Means Good Health
ana Vigorous Growth

Artihcial feeding of infants requires
great care. The selection of the proper
food means good health and vigorous
growth, while the use Of condensed milk
or undiluted COWS milk or of any other
improper food leads to Indigestion, loss of
flesh and inability to resist disease.
No artificial food should be used that
contains drugs or chemicals, and this Is
one of the reasons why Justfood has
reared so many babies successfully in the
past and Is today prescribed by the ma
jorlty of physicians, for it is the only
cereal food that is absolutely free from
chemicals and drugs.
with the many points of superiority OF
Justfood Is combined the feature OF eco
nomy, a three pound package selling for
only $50, Smaller sizes sell for soc, and
Sloo. but the large size is the most eco
nomical, making the cost per meal for a
little baby less than a penny. At drug
glsts.
