The Blow to PennelIism,


To Mr.. Pencil personally it could
make but little difference whether the
Republicans or the Democrats elected
the mayor of Portland but to William
NJ. Pencil, Democratic office holder
and ambitious to become recognized
as the leader of his party in the
State at large. the contest was one Of
vital importance. 1t was a daring
program inasmuch as its fulflmtnt
dept ndcd upon the aid OF Republi-
cans. Its hope of success vanished
when lis author made the mistake. By
plunging openly into the fray ard

The Late Eizzle at jamestown.

The. average daily attendance OF the
jamestown Exposition which closed It's
gates last Saturday night for the last
time. was only 1000 people. The
failure of the big show was complete
and dismal. the worst ever chronicled
in tn. history of eXpositions. From
start to finish the exposition was a
costly demonstration of almost every
thing which an exposition ought not to
be. The exposition business, as has
frequently been stated of late has been
much overdonc in the past dozen years,
and the American people are learning
to measure such affairs at their true
worth.
There can be no excuses for the un-
businesslike methods which marked the
ment, of the jamestown Exposition. 1t
was designed to commemorate one Of
the most important events of Ameri-
can history. but the plans as carried
OFT aroused no popular enthusiasm and
could only result in a fiZZle. To begin
with, Norfolk is too remote from the
great centerS of population to war
ran any hopes of large crowds, and
then too much stress was laid upon
pageants and displays and too little
upon Industrial and educational fea-
lures. Notwithstanding the James

they can profit from the mistakes made
there, promoters are already busy with
plans for other eXposilions and the pub
